| 2005 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | 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. *TR |
