NHTSA — Seats Problems

CarComplaints.com Seal Of This Might Hurt

CarComplaints.com Notes: This is a classic example of why you should avoid the first model year of a new car. Sure, it's new and shiny but there's going to be some growing pains.

The 2005 Magnum has problems with the gear shifter getting stuck, a shaky and sometimes stalled engine and transmission failure at 75,000 miles.

Let someone else deal with those headaches.

I raced to passenger front and seen a trickle of smoke looked under the seat and observed a flame coming from the " heated seat control module" luckily I was home exstiguished the flame disconnected the battery. Then proceeded to take part off. Burned the connector, the wires, and the module. Car was parked and the keys was in my pocket. No power should of been going in the unit.

The fuel pump is located directly under the passenger side back seat. It has a leak, and my car has been smeeling like gas for a month now without my knowledge. I finally took it to a mechanic and there was a poddle of gas under the seat where the nipple on the fuel pump broke. Not to mention my battery in the trunk, well the wires cross right over the fuel pump. This is not safe at all. These items should be nowhere near each other.

Vehicle was parked when it caught fire. Neighbor noticed smoke and noise from car. Put fire out with hose. I am an automotive field service engineer assigned to do fire cause and origin. Origin was traced to a faulty seat heater on driver seat. Seat material performed as designed. Evidence was not completely destroyed by fire. My office # is the one listed on this complaint form. I specialize in automotive fire analysis. Ok to contact if required.
