2005 Dodge Magnum Owner Comments

problem #1

Mar 222012

Magnum SE 2.7L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 49,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

The headlights kept flickering and dimming and they went off around a hair pin turn on stage road in San Gregorio RURAL coastal San Mateo County, CA. YES, no headlights, one lane road with a mountain wall on the left and a 200 ft drop on the right.

There was no recall because it was NOT deemed dangerous! Dangerous my butt. Put your feet in my shoes, your driving down an ESS turn snaky rural road going 45/50, now shut your eyes instant darkness. It was the knob module (on off for headlights) it was brittle with broken pieces inside the casing.
