HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS MAKE SUBSTANTIAL FLICKER/PULSE WHILE DRIVING AFTER THE VEHICLE SITS FOR SEVERAL HOURS (ALL DAY AT WORK OR OVERNIGHT). THE FLICKER/PULSE IS NOTICEABLE ENOUGH THAT TWO VEHICLES I WAS FOLLOWING HAVE PULLED OVER TO LET ME PASS AND I GET MANY STRANGE LOOKS FROM OTHER DRIVERS. VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED AT SELLING DEALER ON 2/15/05, WORK ORDER STATES "VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE OPERATING WITHIN DESIGN SPEC'S AT THIS TIME." THIS SAFETY DEFECT STILL EXISTS. ALSO, TIRES FLAT SPOT AFTER SAME TIME AS STATED ABOVE. FOR THE FIRST 3-4 MILES,…

I HAVE SEVERE OUTSIDE SHOULDER WEAR ON BOTH FRONT TIRES OF MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM, VIN [XXX], MORE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE THAN THE PASSENGER. 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 …
