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.
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I was driving the 2005 Dodge Magnum today and I pushed the accelerator to the floor to avoid a collision. The accelerator would not stop accelerating until it hit about 6000 rpms. I braked, and it had no affect on the increasing speed. I had to shift to neutral and then back to drive to get control of the accelerator was an unnerving experience. The local dealer 's shop said this was due to carbon build up in the bitterly. This car has 45,000 miles on it. If that is the result of carbon build up prepare for more complaints such as this one. This could have been a life threatening situation. When you stand on the brakes and the car goes faster something is plain wrong.
