| 2005 | SUSPENSION:FRONT | 2005 DODGE MAGNUM, AT 40,000 THE TIE RODS WENT ON MY CAR. KIND OF STRANGE BECAUSE OUT OF ALL THINGS TO GO ON A CAR, THE TIE RODS AREN'T USUALLY ONE OF THEM, ESPECIALLY AFTER 40,000 MILES. SO I WENT TO THE INTERNET TO CHECK IT OUT AND I FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE MAGNUM TIE RODS BEING DEFECTIVE. WHY WASN'T THERE A RECALL ON THIS? I HAD THEM REPLACED WITH A SUPERIOR AFTER MARKET TIE ROD. I DIDN'T WANT TO USE OEM FOR THE FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN AFTER 40,000 MILES. IT'S A KNOWN FACT THAT THE TIE RODS ON THESE CAR, AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION IN GENERAL, ARE DEFECTIVE. YET CHRYSLER DID NOT DO A RECALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR |
| 2007 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | FIRST INSTANCE, WHILE SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP LIGHT FELT A SHUDDER AND ENGINE SHUT OFF, ALL OTHER SYSTEMS APPEARED NORMAL. COASTED TO STOP, ENGINE RESTARTED WITHOUT TROUBLE. NEAR FULL TANK OF FUEL. SECOND INSTANCE, WHILE IN A PARKING LOT SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE ENGINE SHUT OFF, ALL OTHER SYSTEMS APPEARED NORMAL AND ENGINE RESTARTED WITHOUT TROUBLE. FILLED FUEL TANK THE PREVIOUS DAY, 3/4 TANK TODAY. HAS HAPPENED ON OTHER OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS BUT I DO NOT REMEMBER THE QUANTITY OF FUEL, EACH TIME THAT CAR HAS RESTARTED WITHOUT INSTANCE AND EACH TIME EVERYTHING ELSE APPEARED NORMAL. THE ENGINE ALWAYS SEEMS TO RUN PROPERLY AND ALL OF THE CARS OTHER SYSTEMS SEEM TO OPERATE NORMALLY. *TR |
