Can you tell me the build date on your car. It is listed on the driver door jamb on the sticker. I am having this issue and the dealer will not budge at doing this under warranty.
 
Thanks

What was the build date on your car? Look at the driver door jamb sticker for the date please. I am in serious bind with mine trying to get warranty work. Thanks a bunch.

Sorry for the delay in reply. The label says 02-2005. Hope this helps. My ESP/BAS lights are still coming on. This problem has been addressed and supposedly fixed a couple times now. Who knows. Best of luck to you.

I'm a new mbr and will be purchasing a '06 Magnum SXT/3.5. Forum is helpful but not much on '06 models; could also be more specific i.e. tranny 4spd vs.5spd. Regarding some trnny prblms-shuddering shifts w/42RLE auto trans? TSB 21-006-04 states h20 contamination caused by faulty bushing where fill tube enters the case. There's a new bushing/fill tube to be added, w/transmission flush to replace contaminated ATF+4. I'm a Sirius subsriber, x2. Reception or sound quality problems might be fixed by 're-booting' the unit. Call Sirius Tech support for info. Will stay tuned. Look forward to forum.

I'm glad I found this thread. Been searching the net for info. My sister bought an 06 Magnum R/T AWD. When she took it to the car wash the transmission acted up. The engine raced but no forward gear (drive). It had to be towed to the Dodge dealer. They said a gear had to be replaced and had it for a week. When she got it back they told her not to go to a "track" car wash. So, next time she took it to a "laser" car wash and it did it again, only this time it would go forward, like it was stuck in a low gear. By the time she made it to the dealer the problem resolved itself. She's a nurse who works the night shift & wanted the AWD for snowy weather. Now she doesn't want the car at all & wants to go back to her import. What should she do?

I would tell her to take it back to the dealership. It seems as though it's a water issue. Do the carwashes have an under carriage wash? Water could be getting into the wiring harness. Maybe the dealership can duplicate the problem by getting the vehicle wet.

Magnum Transmission Leak by directr1

I have an 05 Magnum RT AWD with 19K on it, great car, no problems until I noticed the stains on my driveway - obviously transmission fluid. Dealer serviced the vehicle based on my observation, replaced two o rings. Anyone with a similar issue, will this be a reoccurring problem?
 
The dealer followed up with a phone survey on their service dept. response which will come to me as a written form to confirm for the dealer and Chrysler.

Disgusted Magnum Owner! by jgareau

What a mess! After rebuilding my trans. three times and a new replacement; I brought it back last week to confirm my “new” transmission shakes too; they not only confirmed it, but told me Chrysler has to engineer a fix for that transmission. The service manager said he will call me in thirty days to update me if Chrysler came up with a fix or not. After a series of major mechanical problems with the engine, suspension, and now the transmission, you think this car is a LEMON?!! Chrysler doesn’t even know what is wrong with it! What can I do? The service manager won't work with me to lemon my car! I've been dealing with this aggrevation since May 2007!

hey I got a 05 magnum and I bought it used from a small lot somewhere in GA. 3 weeks in I'm having transmission problems. It slipped one time on me now my check engine light comes on then off, in GA there is no LEMON law for used cars, so I'm stuck, but I was wondering is it that my tranny is going or does it need to be maintained? Also, is there something I can do as far going to dodge themselves or I'm going have to repair it out of my pocket, the car has high mileage on it so I would think it need maintainence...I need advice!!!!
