| 2006 | WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD TO EXERT GREAT FORCE TO REMOVE THE LUG NUTS. SHE WAS UNABLE TO CHANGE THE TIRES. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION SHE NOTICED THAT THE LUG NUTS EXPAND, WHICH PREVENTED THE APPARATUS FROM CLAMPING ON TO REMOVE THEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, AND SHE IS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 23,000. |
| 2006 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | PLEASE PUT YOUR SELF IN OUR SHOE`S THIS HAS GOT TO BE DEALT WITH OR SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IN A CRASH. PLEASE DON'T LET DODGE SKATE ON THIS ONE CAN WE NOT GET A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT GOING? I HOPE I DON`T CRASH AND KILL SOMEBODY`S CHILD OR LOVED ONE. 1. DANGEROUS! ENTIRE CAR SHAKES WHEN TRAVELING AT 40-80+ MPH. THE SHAKE SHOWS UP IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO HANDLE AT SPEEDS OF 65MPH. THIS SHAKE IS NOT PRESENT WHEN BRAKING, ONLY UNDER ACCELERATION AND USUALLY ONLY WHEN YOU GO OVER 40MPH. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT IT ACTUALLY HURTS MY EARS DO TO THE "PULSING AND POUNDING AIR PRESSURE WHEN ONLY ONE WINDOW, ANY WINDOW IS OPEN. IT IS DEAFENING!!. THE WHEELS WERE BALANCED ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND THAT DIDN'T NOTHING BUT WAIST MY TIME AND MONEY. 2. CAR NEARLY STALLS OUT WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR ON WIDE OPEN THROTTLE. (CAN BE DANGEROUS IF YOU EXPECT THE CAR TO GO AND IT STUTTERS. ALMOST APPEARS AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL, LIKE IT'S STARVED FOR GAS). AND IF ALL THAT IS NOT ENOUGH, THE RACK AND PINION NEED REPLACING, AFTER ONLY 53 THOUSAND MILES!!!??? IT SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 150,000 MILES I ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 10,000 MILES A YEAR! AND ON VERY SMOOTH ROADS. NOW I AM OUT OF MONEY AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE ENDS MEET ON $995 DOLLARS A MONTH. DON`T I / WE HAVE GOVERNMENT BACKED CONSUMER RIGHTS WHEN THESE PROBLEMS ARE SO OBVIOUS AND BLATANTLY BEING IGNORED. DODGE SHOULD BY NOW, KNOW WHAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE, AND IF NOT, THEY SHOULD FEEL OBLIGATED TO AT LEAST FIND THE CAUSE OF THEM. AFTER ALL I PURCHASED A DODGE TO HELP SUPPORT AN AMERICAN ICON JUST TO FIND OUT THAT THEY ACTUALLY TREAT US WORSE THAN TOYOTA TREATS THERE CUSTOMERS. I MEAN AT LEAST THEY ARE FIXING AND ADMITTING THERE MISTAKES. I JUST HOPE MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE GET HURT OR KILLED DO TO THERE IGNORANCE BEFORE THEY FINALLY BEND OVER, GRAB THERE EARS AND PULL THERE HEADS OUT OF THERE .........! *TR |
