CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT BRAKE PROBLEMS. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THEY WILL MAKE A GRINDING NOISE, AND WILL NOT STOP THE VEHICLE ADEQUATELY. WHEN TAKEN TO BE SERVICED IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE BRAKE PADS SLIPPING ON THE ROTORS.*AK *NM

MY 2005 MAGNUM HAS ALWAYS PULLED TO THE RIGHT EVEN AFTER 4 VISITS TO THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A SAFETY THING THAT IT DRITS TO THE RIGHT, MY CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT. I ALSO HEAR A CLUNK NOISE EVERTIME I START FROM A STOP, THIS WAS PROVEN TO BE NORMAL BASED ON THE FACT EVERY OTHER MAGNUM ON THE LOT MADE THIS SAME NOISE. MY BRAKES ALSO MAKE A BAD GRINDING SOUND WHEN I STOP, THIS WILL BE GOING TO THE DEALER SHORTLY FOR THIS PROBLEM.*AK

CHRYSLER HAS REPLACED THE TIRES ONCE, AND ALIGNED FOUR TIMES, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL COMES BACK WITHIN 600 MILES. WITHOUT ROTATING, MY TIRES WOULD ONLY LAST ABOUT 8000 MILES.

THE CHRYSLER DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE HAS DRIVEN THIS CAR AND CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL. I DO NOT AGREE! HE …

ON FOUR OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM, THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM HAS SHUT DOWN AND THE BLINKER, HEADLIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, POWER WINDOWS, AIR-CONDITIONING, MILEAGE INDICATOR, TIME CLOCK ETC. STOP WORKING. DURING THREE OF THE EVENTS, POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITIES WERE LOST CAUSING DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS WHERE THE CAR CANNOT BE CONTROLLED AND IN TWO OF THESE INSTANCES, AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS WERE NARROWLY AVOIDED. MY COMPANY ASKED ME TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT AS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT COULD CAUSE DEATH OR VERY…
