#58 of 77 Re: Chrysler is buying back my Magnum [cavuu] by shortiec1 Dec 26, 2007 (12:03 pm)
Replying to: cavuu (Aug 10, 2007 5:21 pm) How did you get Chrysler to buy back your Magnum? Our 06 R/T is such a piece of crap. We tried hard to get it to fall under the lemon law, but didn't quite make it. We have had all of the problems listed on this forum. It goes in to the dealer every other month for a new problem or something that they didn't completely fix. My ESP/BAS light still comes on almost every time I drive the car. When this happens, it is harder to start the car and I have to keep the key turned longer. Dealership says they don't see any code to fix it, so we just have to deal with it. It has also just "died" in the past. On a 108 degree day last summer, we had our two week old baby in the car and the car shut off as we were driving down the road. Safe huh?! We have had transmission fluid leaks where they just replaced some O rings. Recently the whole cooling system was replaced after the check engine light came on. We have had numerous brake problems, now the rotors are warped and need replaced along with the pads and calipers. This was also done last year, and that time the dealership messed up when putting the brakes back on, because the next day as we were driving down the highway, the brakes literally fell off the car. Love my magnum, but hate it sooooooooo much more! Want to get rid of it, but hate for someone else to have these problems. If you could let me know what you sent to Chrysler, I would love to contact them as well. Thanks!

Replying to: budw (Jan 25, 2008 5:50 pm) If you look directly underneath my post you will see a link that says "Mark as read" click that. OR if you have several forums in your watched area once you read a post you can click back to "My watched items" and it will refresh your list removing the areas you already read in.

Replying to: budw (Feb 14, 2008 5:01 pm) Well, lol, someone posted before you came back so the mark as read link isn't directly beneath me now. Scroll all the way down, the link is at the very bottom of this page underneath the posts.
#64 of 77 Chrysler SUCKS !!! by edwardr Mar 16, 2008 (7:44 am)
I purchased a 2005 SXT AWD, new in June of 2005 (cost $31,500). Here is a list of the issues I've had with it. First, after only 30,000 miles, the factory Continental tires would not pass inspection.(why put these crappy tires on your flagship luxury sedan) Second, after numerous visits to the dealer, about intermittant problems with the rear power windows, the window regulator seized up. Just outside of the warranty.....what a coincidence. (and I have the other side to look forward to repairing now) When I asked the mechanic specifically about this issue, hed lied and said he had never experienced it before (even though there is CLEARLY a TBS about this issue) Third, the engine has been running rough for the last 27,000 miles and, of course, the dealer has been unable to diagnose or fix. They just perform the basic "shotgun" technique of plugs, wires, clean intake system, etc..... Fourth, I have had the transmission ROM flashed twice due to upgraded software. WHICH THE DEALER CHARGED ME FOR EACH TIME...... UNDER WARRANTY !!! I have a spec of rust just above the windshield in the front, and I'm notified that the factory 100,000 mile rust warranty ONLY covers rust in the lower panels, and only if it rusts all the way through..... WTF does it matter WHERE the rust is.....why even HAVE a warranty. Fifth, I have had the rotors cut twice in 6,000 miles. They give me some lame excuse about some new material being used which warps easier.... blah, blah, blah..... I have purchased 3 new Chrysler products in the last 6 years and spent over $70,000 of my hard earned money. This Magnum will be my LAST Chrysler product EVER!!!..... I'm reminded of a quote from the movie "Tommy Boy".... "You know why they have a guarantee, cause they know all they sold you was guaranteed piece of shit"
#65 of 77 I Have A Question by pianoman8849 Mar 18, 2008 (2:05 pm)
Hi. Can anyone tell me what the height of the cargo hold door is? I have boxes to move at times over 36 inches in height and am just curious if the Magnam wagon (as I call it) would allow me to get things into the cargo compartment. I don't think the length of them (about 4 ft) would be a problem.   Perhaps I'm in the wrong category here, but would appreciate a reply.   Thanks...   Rod Replies to this message: caliberchic (Mar 31, 2008 2:37 pm)
