2005 Dodge Magnum structure problems

“THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON JUST AFTER PURCHASE AND UPON LOWERING THE TILT WHEEL AND DID SO AFTER EVERY SUPPOSED REPAIR. I HAD THIS IN FOR REPAIR 7 TIMES 5 OF WHICH WERE DONE AT WARRENSBURG CHRYSLER IN WARRENSBURG, MISSOURI. BY THE TIME THEY HAD TRIED 5 TIMES AND TORN MY DASH APART SCRATCHING ALL THE LOWER KICK PANELS AND LEAVING ME WITH A DASH THAT RATTLES THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND REFUSED TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE. I THEN CALLED THE DISTRICT REP AND WAS TOLD QUOTE: (WE AIN'T DOING [XXX] ABOUT IT!) AT THIS POINT I GAVE UP BUT DID CONTACT THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION AND NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY. SEEMS AS THOUGH CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AS IT IS A FAULTY SQIB1 & 2 CABLE THAT IS THE ISSUE LEAVING THE AIRBAG INOPERABLE AND A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM TO TELL AN OWNER OF A VEHICLE WHAT I WAS TOLD SHOWS A TOTAL DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY OR ANY PASSENGER ONBOARD INCLUDING CUSTOMERS THAT ARE OFTEN IN MY VEHICLE. NOTE THAT THE DATE I HAD TO SHOW AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS FORM IS AN APPROXIMATE AND THE DEALER WILL HAVE THE ACTUAL ATTEMPTED REPAIR DATES. NHTSA (NVS-210) *TR”

“DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE WENT OFF ROAD AND HIT TREE WAS KILLED. UNKNOWN CAUSE OF CRASH MAY RELATE TO AIRBAG EXPLOSION. CAR EXPLODED ON IMPACT UPDATED 12/04/17*BF *CN”

“A DRIVER SUDDENLY STOPPED IN FRONT OF WHILE I WAS MOVING RESULTING OF ME HITTING HER IN THE BACK. FRONT OF MY CAR IS TOTALED. THE SHOCK WAS VIOLENT BUT THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. THANK GOD I WAS NOT GREATLY HURT. *TR”

“MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM R/T BURNED THROUGH THE UNIBODY FRAME RAILS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. THIS CAUSED THE FRAME TO DEVELOP RUST PERFORATIONS. DAMAGE IS THE SAME ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR, CONCENTRATED WHERE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS MEET THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. THIS IS A DIFFICULT AREA TO SEE, LET ALONE INSPECT DUE TO TIGHT CONFINES AND HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. IT WAS FOUND WHILE CHANGING THE OIL DIPSTICK TUBE. THE REST OF THE CAR IS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AND HAS NEVER BEEN UNDERCOATED, IN AN ACCIDENT OR WINTER DRIVEN. NUMEROUS TECHNICIANS LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM AT CHRYSLER AND INDEPENDENT GARAGES. ALL OF THEM AGREED THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY HEAT FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS BURNING AWAY THE FACTORY RUST PROTECTION AND THEN ACCELERATING RUSTING OF THIS STRUCTURAL AREA. THE CHRYSLER DEALER BODYSHOP QUOTED OVER $8000 TO REPLACE THE ROTTED FRAME RAILS, MOSTLY LABOR BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, EXHAUST, FRONT SUBFRAME AND MUCH OF THE INTERIOR. THE CHRYSLER DEALER SERVICE MANAGER SENT IN A REPORT TO HIS DISTRICT SERVICE REP. I ALSO FILED A REPORT WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE, CASE FILE NUMBER 25844173. THEY…”

“THE REAR HATCH DOES NOT STAY UP WHEN LIFTED. AT TIMES THE HATCH FALLS WITHOUT WARNING AND HAS HIT ME IN THE HEAD SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS AN INJURY WAITING TO HAPPEN AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR”

“I TOOK MY DODGE MAGNUM INTO THE LARRY MILLER DODGE DEALERSHIP (AVONDALE DODGE WAS BROUGHT OUT BY LARRY MILLER DODGE WHO DID NOT KEEP RECORDS FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNERS). TO HAVE SOME WORKED DONE ON THE COIL. WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED. THEY STATED IT WAS SUN DAMAGE THAT OCCURRES MOST DODGE MAGNUMS AND REFUSED TO FIX IT. I CALLED DODGE WHO STOOD BEHIND THE DEALERSHIP AND REFUSED TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS 2005 DODGE MAGNUM AND STATED IT WAS COMMON IN 2005 DODGE MAGNUMS. THEY ALSO SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD BUY A DASH COVER TO COVER THE DASHBOARD. *JS”
