“(totally integrated power module tipm) one morning I tried to start my car. The car acted if the battery was dead, so I jumped the car. After I jumped the car I noticed that my esp/bas light was on. I didn't think much of it because I was trying to get to work. As I left my house I tried to use my turn signals. They did not turn on. I tried to use my wind shield wipers and they did not work either. This is alarming because these are a couple of same attributes that make a car safe. After more investigation the following things stopped working as well. …”

“I brought my 2006 Dodge Magnum to two dealerships to fix my problem on both occasions I was told nothing they could do. The check engine light would always return after a day or two. One dealership in brooklyn even charged me money,say the car had to be sent to an outside shop. The problem is the oxygen sensor and the wire harness. The rear windows will not work,I was told it is because of the window tint which came with the car. The code on the computer at the service is p2096. …”

“I purchased a 2006 Magnum from lithia of fairfield in may of this year, 2006.

I took it in during routine warranty service and explained to one of the service managers but because the power window switches were operable that day I was told there was nothing they could do (that didn't sit to well with me, but I shrugged it off and said ok). …”

“The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Magnum. The contact has experienced several failures with her vehicle and electrical components. The driver's side seat belt was inoperable and failed to move when she attempted to pull and secure it over her body. She would have to turn off the vehicle and play with the belt for a while before it would operate properly. The dealer replaced the entire seat belt module, but the seat belt failed several times after the repair was performed. The manufacturer suggested that the failure could be related to the computer system in the vehicle. …”
