Replying to: pf_flyer (Feb 07, 2006 9:33 am) Problems? Where do I begin. Purchased my 05 SXT used w/30,000 miles on it in May of 2006. Here's my list: Clear coat peeled at the molding and door handles on drivers side of car. Sun roof rattles when fully opened Car pulls to the right Rattle under the left front end (am told it could be a loose bolt on the swaybar) Something underneath sounds like it's flapping when you're going 60mph or so, we think it might be those plastic protectors under there. Passenger window on the drivers side sometimes won't go up or down. The inside door panels on all 4 doors are loose, you can actually push them in and see them move, it's like they aren't latched in all the way. It's outside of the dealer warranty period so now we're stuck trying to figure out what's wrong ourselves. It's been in the garage 2 times and nobody seems to be able to fix it. Very frustrating. We're actually considering trading it for something else. We owned a Chevy for 6 years and put tires, brakes an alternator & battery on it and it was solid as a rock. Never a squeek or rattle at all. I was hesitant to buy a Dodge, I think I know why now. Very disappointing, we probably won't get anything for trade in.

Replying to: red67 (Sep 17, 2006 4:43 pm) I love my Magnum. As with any car their can be a problem one or have some issues with them. We have a Cadilac STS and the car has been in the dealer for 31 days which is now considered a lemon. I have had a few issues with the magnum, I had to replace the tires went from continentals to good year. At 36,000 minles I needed to replace my rear brakes, thankfully the fronts were replaced 10,000 miles ago due to a defect in materials they were covered completely - a little tussle with the dealer but they covered them 100 %. I do a have problem with the passenger rear window creating a suction that at times if too hot outside I cannot open but i face the airconditioning towards the window and then it will go down. The dealer has put silicone spray o nthe moldings but it will still do it from time to time. A As I said I love my Car, I get great comments about hte car, it handles great.
