problem #3

Jan 082010

Magnum 6-cyl

  • 30,000 miles
The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Magnum. The rear hatch fell and hit the contact on the back while she was taking things out the rear of the vehicle. The rear hatch would not stay in the upright locked position. The manufacturer was not contacted. One week later, the contact opened the hood and it would not stay up. A local dealer repaired the hood and replaced the shocks. The hatch has not been repaired. The contact was unhappy because she had to pay for the repair. The current mileage was 32000. The failure mileage was 30000. Updated 06/16/10

Magnum 8-cyl

  • 10 miles
While looking at the vehicle at a dealer, the hachback door opens too fast until slamming to the end and it bumped a little up and down when completly open, it appears the two little shock absorbers or whatever they are called do not help the door to open slow. I noticed the body of the car on the sides (betwen the windows and the roof at the level where the hinges are) there was a little line and it was bent to the outside a little and it was about two inches long on each side. I told the sales people in case they sale the car without fixing it.
