What owners wrote

My son, after exiting the highway turned north on chaffee road to go home. He went to change lanes into the left lane where the road turned to a four lane road and, as reported by a witness, smoke came out from the front right tire area and the car swung to the right hitting a pole. As witnessed, the vehicle was traveling no more than 25 MPH. The car was totaled. The front right tire was obviously not on the vehicle because it and the entire front right suspension beat the car to the scene of the crash.

Reported at 40,000 miles, June 2007 CrashInjury

My 2005 dodge magnum r/t experiences alignment issues with the vehicle pulling to the right. While the manufacturer claims it is "within spec" the dealership does not deny the problem exists. I have visited the dealership twice regarding the issue and will most likely go back a third time. I am aware of a TSB that is out regarding this issue, however I feel dealerships may not have all the information or choose not to perform the necessary work to fix this obviously widespread flaw.
