What owners wrote

I have a new 2005 dodge magnum which is a new car. The car has the 5.7l hemi motor. On 6-7-04, my wife cranked the car and put it in reverse. She then depressed the accelerator and the engine did not respond with any RPM change until the accelerator pedal was depresssed in excess of 50%. When the engine did respond, it was violent, causing the car to spin tires and accelerate backward at a high rate of speed, hitting another car in our driveway.
