Magnum RT 5.7L

The car has been great, up until now. My main gripe is the crappy service, and total lack of understanding. I'm a mopar guy, have been all my life. I don't care what kind of financial problems they have! Welcome to our world! If your reading this and any of these things has happened to you, don't wait, take it in. It will eventually just lose all power and only be able tobe driven at idle speed. there will be a Bas or esp light on your instrament panel, also a Red flashing lightening bolt. This can happen without warning! If your Magnum has died at low rpm's (like when approaching a red light or stop) and idles extremely rough, get it in. They have told me it is a quick fix ( Ha!) in two days it will be two weeks they have been waiting for the part. Good luck

Magnum SXT

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,000 miles

I am having a problem-my Magnum shakes when I am at the red light--it seems like it is going to cut off but it does not. My engine light came on twice and then went off--they says the codes were to get a fuel induction and sparks replaced-so I did get the sparks replace but had to wait on fuel induction. I took it the dealership again when it shaked at the light and they say now I have carbon buildup and they have to clean out the carbon--a whopping $1100.00--are they crazy! They say it is a problem that happens with Magnum and 300's--so why is this not a recall? can anybody give me some advice!
