New Car problems
Picked up my R/T just before christmas, (11th Dec) love the car, couple of questions for the forum.
1. Anyone have a problem with the park brake light coming on when the car is started up, even if the park brake is not set, or has not been set.
2. Car drifts to the right. Bad enough that you have to steer into left to keep straight. (Car built 11/05)
3. Vibration at 65 mph and above.
4. GPS time set on the nav system seems to think i am in the east, i live in Texas
Had the car back to the dealer while i went on vacation, 12 days, can you believe it, they forgot to check the problems, much panic when I called them and they told me one more day as needed. Picked it up thursday and nothing has changed, still drifts, still vibrates (tires i believe) park brake light still comes on, even if the park brake is released.
Shame really, car is great, Daimler Chrysler service seems to be poor so far.
Also had a recall done, something about calibration of the gauges.

2. Magnums seem to be very sensitive to road crown. My RT does pull to the right more than other cars I've driven, but only when the road crown is pronounced. On a flat road, mine doesn't pull at all.
3. No vibration, but I did notice a 'thump thump' from the tires (I have the self-sealing tires in the Protection Group) that went away after a couple months.
4. No nav system in my car. Where am I?

Funny you should say your car was built on the 5th....mine was built on the 4th. To be honest with you I have not had any problems with the car so far. It has a very slight pull to the right especially on roads with road crown but in fact my 2004 Durango does that too. As far as parking brake light no problems there and I too do not have the Nav system so cannot elaborate on that. This really is one great car...very quiet and solid feel to it. I guess being a first year car there are going to be troubles that will be ironed out I am sure when the 2006s come out. Hang in there it really is one great car.....Kent
Enjoy the Magnum! The little stuff is really easy to deal with when you understand the full potential of this vehicle. I just drove my RT 820 miles yesterday, only stopping for fuel and eats for the wife and kid. Just turned 10K miles, drove in ice and snow, no problem!
If you ever doubt why you drive it, just put your foot WOT and figure it out, it comes to you real quick!
