Disappointed with quality problems
It happened again at 831 miles, there was a strange chirriping sound coming from the transmission, and one of the power door locks (rear left) doesn't unlock. I've taken it back to the dealer, they've claimed the problem's been fixed, but the chirriping sound is still there. At 1,208 miles, I'm hearing three rattles, one from inside my door panel, another from the dashboard, and another from the back near the left tailgate.
I love my Dodge Magnum!!
Exceptional automobile. Beautiful. Comfortable. Great performance. I am not too enthused about the gas mileage, but that may be because I can't keep my foot out of it. All in all, I love it.
Fun
Fun to drive. Rides like a dodge and made like a dodge. Not bad for the money but I'd rather pay more and get more quality.
Love My Magnum
I have owned my Magnum since early July 2004. I love it. It is exceptionally roomy inside for my family of four. It rides smooth like a heavy sedan on the freeway, but handles quick and responsive like a small sports car around town. The power is phenomenal and a whole lot of fun to drive. And, it definitely turns heads and starts conversations everywhere I go. One negative--I have encountered a "hard-start" problem and the dealership and factory finally solved it after 10+ days in shop, now it continually has a "check-engine" light that they are still unsure of. The problem, although frustrating still has not taken the fun out of this car.
Too much Mercedes
I love the styling and power. I accept the poor milege. The steering colunm, tilt wheel, turn signal, cruise control, and power seat operation seem to be for another car(Mercedes?). None of the above features match the feel or operation of any of my other Chrysler cars.This car definitely needs seat memory with two drivers. My wife broke a fingernail the first time she tried the power window switches.The fiberglas rear cargo insert is a drop-in loose fit that is not mounted in any manner. I would hate to think where this heavy piece would fly to if I ever had a front end collision. Good car that misses on the details that makes a great car that you wnnt to drive foreve
