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

Both hydraulic struts for hood and rear lid, worn out and without any notice, will fail hitting anyone in the head. Should be a recall car has 15K miles on 05 Magnum R/T. shocks should last longer since both are not opened on a regular business. Specially with cold weather.
