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.
WERE DO I START MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM RT 5.7L HEMI RED COLOR. I BOUGHT IT WITH ONLY 2,000 MILE ON IT FULLY LOADED. I LOVED MY CAR UNTIL . THE MOTOR WENT 66,000 MILE ONLY ON IT . THE INTAKE MANIFOLD BROKE DROPPING METAL IN THE THE MOTOR . THREW A ROD RIGHT THREW THE BLOCK . COULD NOT FIND A USED MOTOR WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILE ON IT . SO I BOUGHT A NEW MOTOR WITH 4YR WARRENTY ON IT . 4,500 MOTOR 2,000 TO TAKE OUT AND PUT BACK IN . THAT IS WHEN THEY FOUND OUT THE IN TAKE MANIFOLD BROKE, NEED A NEW ONE , NEED A NEW OILS PAN , FOUND OUT NEEDED A NEW RACK PINION $1000.00 , MOTOR MOUNTS . NOW I AM ABOUT $8,000 IN TO THIS CAR. KILLING ME . CAR IS DONE RUNNING GREAT , 4 MONTH LATER THE A/C GOS THEY NEED TO RIP OUT MY DASHBOARD TO FIX IT , STILL NOT FIX 1 YR LATER . NOW THE FRONT END IS SQUEAKING NEED TO REPLACE UPPER BALL JOINT 300.00 A SIDE. NOT DONE YET BECAUSE I JUST HAD TO PUT A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP AND A NEW BELT 500.00 . MY SUN ROOF LEAKS . I ALWAY LOVE THE OLD DODGES , THE NEW ONES ARE CRAP . I HAVE SO MUCH MONEY IT TO THIS CAR RIGHT NOW I CAN NOT SELL IT . DO NOT WANT TO GET INTO ANOTHER CAR PAYMENT .
