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.

Magnum

  • 16,000 miles
Three tires on the consumer's 2005 Dodge Magnum were out of round by December of 2005. ***** the consumer was unable to drive 35 mph or more without the vehicle shaking. The tire were replaced but the vibration/shaking continued. The vehicle was taken to another repair facility who noticed that the vibration/shaking was due to a bent drive shaft and loose bolts.
