Hello Folks, Just Bought A 05 Magnum R/T AWD. 166K miles on Dash. I Love the Car Alot. It Drive Fine, But, it's Got A Jerky Movement To It Upon Mild Acceleration. It Seems the Jerky is Coming from the Front, At Least that's where I feel the Jerkiness On Acceleration The Most. I wanted To know What's Causing this? Has Anyone Experienced This Type of Issue Before?

Please Help.

 

Could be CV axles. Take it somewhere to get the front end inspected.

 

I'm More Than Confident It's Not CV, It Only Does it During Mild Acceleration, But When I Stomp On The Gas/During Heavy Acceleration, It Won't Do It... Somebody Told Me it's Computer Programming Issue... ? IDK how True it it is..

 

So, After Spending Some Time With The Car And Driving The Car For Some Time.. I Want To Report My Observations.. So I Noticed The Car Bucks/Jerks While Accelerating Mildly, But, When I Step Hard on The Gas, It doesn't Buck/Jerk. Also, When I Drive The Car Manually in 3rd Gear it Doesn't Buck As Much. I Also Noticed it Seems Like the Car Likes to Put itself In 4th Gear With Any Chance it Gets, When I Start From A Dead Stop, I Can Hear The Gears Shift Quickly To Get in The 4th Gear.
What led Me to believe this is, When I'm not Moving and Put the car in Manual Gear Select Mode, it (Shows)/Jumps to the 4th Gear, is This Normal? Shouldn't it Start From The 1st Gear?? Or is this Just A Magnum Thing? I did a Video to show What I Mean..

Also, The Interior/Dash and Headlights Randomly Flashes On And Off, What's Causing this?

 

Turned Out the Right Front CV Axle Inner Boot Was Torn, I initially thought that was My Problem, Went and Replaced it, but, Nope...

 

My 05 did the same thing. found it was a crank position sensor going bad.

 

My 05 Did the same thing. Was told it was my Transfer Case(s). Had a THUNK when I accelerated at a light and...nothing. Now the mechanic says BOTH transfer cases AND the transmission are GONE.

Friction Disk Transfer Cases are KNOWN for the shudder & Dodge KNEW about it.
