Magnums are known for water in the transmission. But I didn't get the information until we bought a repossessed 05 Magnum RT. We drove it 3 days and the rear end starting making a SHUDDERING sound. we stopped driving it and took it to the dealership. They said our transmission fluid is like strawberry milk and wanting us to foot a 4+k transmission bill to replace the transmission. Like i said we had this 3DAYS. The makers of Magnums need to put in a recall on these sh*tty transmissions and stop pissing off its customers with high replacement bills. I Know this will be the LAST time i buy a DODGE or affiliated car. My car started shuddering once it rained, it ran fine before in the hot weather. The ONE day it rains the transmission gets water in it. I live in Texas were we don't get much rain but DAMN. DODGE needs to RECALL their sh*tty parts and workmanship and give its customers a break.
