Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge magnum. While driving approximately 30 MPH, the steering wheel loosened and the interior lighting became very dim. On occasion, the contact smelled a burning odor inside the passenger compartment. There were no warning indicators prior to the failures because the warning light indicators have never worked since the vehicle was purchased. The vehicle would start roughly from time to time. When the contact depressed the brake pedal, the contact heard a loud noise underneath the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle shutters when proceeding to turn, the air conditioning unit is not working properly, and the transmission hesitates intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the steering failure was related to the front suspension. The mechanic replaced two control arms and tie rods. A diagnostic was performed and the mechanic stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The failure mileage was 20,000 and current mileage was 23,000. Updated 07/08/08. *bf there was a loud clicking noise when braking. The vehicle was hard to start and when it start it would stall. The transmission make a shuttering noise. Updated

On my 2005 dodge magnum whenever the vehicle has been sitting for several hours, upon start up and operation, all interior lights and instrument panel begin to flicker/pulsate. Headlights and taillights do the same. For my headlights it causes them to turn off, and then I have to flip the switch to get them on again. This is a everyday problem and is very unsafe at night. Vehicle has been to the dealer twice and they could not locate the source of the problem.

Magnum rt, has veered to the right since purchased in august 2004. Back rear light full of condensation, appeared to be a leak. Dealer ordered a part, and I'm still awaiting notification, a month later. Sun roof was uneven, concerned it may result in future leaks. Was told this was not abnormal, and shouldn't be a problem. Rear driver side window did not work at times. Works for the dealer.

Headlights and dash lights make substantial flicker/pulse while driving after the vehicle sits for several hours (all day at work or overnight). The flicker/pulse is noticeable enough that two vehicles I was following have pulled over to let me pass and I get many strange looks from other drivers. Vehicle was examined at selling dealer on 2/15/05, work order states "vehicle appears to be operating within design spec's at this time." this safety defect still exists. Also, tires flat spot after same time as stated above. For the first 3-4 miles, at speeds greater than 45 MPH, tires make thumping noise and car shakes. Shaking is felt through seat and steering wheel. After 3-4 miles, thump and shake gradually disappear. Tire dealer has not answered questions regarding replacement through continental after one visit and later phone call.
