Right front ball joint fell off the car as I was about to change the tire. My neighbor witnessed the event. He said he had never seen such a thing in 40+ years. I had to rent a press to reattach. Earlier in the day, my wife had mentioned she heard a squeaking noise when she turned the steering wheel. Thank the heavens we were not driving the car when it happened.

Bottoming out at less than 5 MPH under normal operating conditions, severe grunting/groaning when backing out of parking spot and hitting brakes, frequent alignment needed (every 2 - 3k miles), frame bolts need periodic torquing. Multiple servicing under warranty on suspension. Car now has 57000 miles and again has warranty repairs for suspension issues and now they tell me that rear frame needs to be replaced because bushings are shot - priced at several thousand dollars - stating bushings are not covered under warranty. These are serious defects.

I have not had a complete failure. Waiting on that to happen. I purchased a brand new 2005 dodge magnum sxt with v6, automatic transmission in 2005 from a dealership. It had approximately 36 miles on it. I have not had the pulling to the right everyone else had, but it does make a funny scrubbing sound while driving as if the tire was rubbing against the car on the right rear passenger side and several other problems that are common. I have depressed the brake and felt vibrations from pedal on several occasions. The car doesn't seem to be able to stop completely. I even got out to look,thinking I hit something. A few months ago, the power outlet located inside the astray stopped working. It blew a fuse, I replaced it. Then, two weeks ago, the power outlet in the console stopped working. Just two days ago, the battery went dead for the second time in three months. I replaced the battery again. Now all the sudden the AC/heater stopped working. You can hear it trying to come on, but the fan motor doesn't seem to be coming on. We've noticed that the headlights seem to surge at night. I will be taking our car in to the dealership, along with copies of complaints from other consumers.

Over bumps on slow speed front suspension would make a clunk. Had it looked at dealer replaced tierod ends. Clunk still there. Tension struts were then inspected and replaced along with sway bar bushings at own expense. Clunk gone. Under 30,000 miles on car.
