2006 Dodge Magnum Suspension Problems

“I am the second owner of this vehicle purchased in 2007. At 60,000 I had the rack in pinion replaced at about 1000 dollars, next was the cooling fan at 75,000 miles (cost 700.00 dollars). Then at about 90,000miles the water pump, thermostat, tension pulley and timing belt had to be changed for a grand total of 1300 hundred. I am now at 100,000 miles. I have had suspension issues since about 40,000 miles have maintained oil changes and maintenance. This seems unfair!”

“The car was wrecked really bad. Front end a back was damaged mainly the frame of the car front end also the trunk was pushed in and the rightside rear light is damaged alittle inside was messed up power seats don't work properly. Also at times it don't move at all it was sold to me like this at a really unfair price of 17,999. They need to be locked in jail for such a scam and ripped me off. Also these people are stone hearted crooks. Please help this is not right and this has to be against the law.”

“Without warning valve ring seat broke off fell into cylinder punching hole in piston. Bought a rebuilt motor for $7,000 and 70k miles later the same thing happens. Both instances the motor was running.”

“The front end had to be welded back together and the it is pretty messed up. And front wheels bar might come a loose when turning is made hard. You can see where it was fix at on the bottom in the front the frame was wreck pretty hard.”

“2006 Dodge Magnum needs front strut/suspension repairs at 60k. Dlr stated this is common problem. At first damage was estimated at 20% damage (only needed new tie rod ends), but now both front strut tension links need replacement plus alignment (over $1000 in repairs). This is a known weak spot in model design (see other complaints). A recall should be issued, consumers are paying for this known design flaw/defect out of pocket.”
