Sunroof does not close properly. Pops open when attempting to close. The first incident, the dealer claims that they replaced motor. The second incident, they claim that they calibrated it. It still pops open when attempting to close the sunroof. The driver side window does not always work. The first incident, the dealer claims that they replaced the master switch. The second incident, the dealer claims that they replaced the motor. Now you can hear a weird sound when rolling down the window.

Magnum rt, has veered to the right since purchased in August 2004. Back rear light full of condensation, appeared to be a leak. Dealer ordered a part, and I'm still awaiting notification, a month later. Sun roof was uneven, concerned it may result in future leaks. Was told this was not abnormal, and shouldn't be a problem. Rear driver side window did not work at times. Works for the dealer.
