4400 miles and not a fault yet. First time this has ever happened with a new car for me.

Two complaints though: Touring Tires, which are ridiculous unless you live in Palm Beach, Florida or Venice, California. And the exhaust. On a HEMI RT it should be loud, not sounding like your father's station wagon. I put on the Flowmaster super 40s but it's still too quiet. When we finally thaw out in New England, I'll lose the resonators.

I just bought my SXT Magnum and I love it!!! I have not felt the pull to the right or any of the problems that were mentioned here but when I hit my 1000 miles I will let you know if things change. I looked at the RT and would have loved it even more I am sure but I am truly satisfied with the SXT.

 

I keep seeing the complaint about not popping the rear hatch. I, like a few others, am puzzled by that request. With the solenoid operated switch it's not like the latch is difficult to operate from the outside (my 4 year old daughter does it just with her index finger), then I have to actually lift it up. I suppose if there was a switch from the inside that pops the hatch AND raises the hatch so you don't have to lift it...that may be cool. Of course, then how do you close it if the shocks had enough oomph to open the heavy gate?
My biggest complaint right now is the lack of a light in the glove box and the fact that I can't seem to get enough DRIVE TIME!!

 

Hi all, I bought my Mag in Sept. 04. As of today, it has 45K on it and the GM at my dealer is going to do a buy back due to the right pull issue. There is a new service bulletin just out on the 12th of March. Had it done yesterday, the cradle adj. was done last fall, etc., etc. It still pulls and I can't take it any more. I love this car, but I can't take all of the frustration that comes with this pull issue. Maybe they'll give me a 2006?

Sorry for the typo. That is 4500 miles not 45K.

My only problem has been both rear window switches that didnt work. Im working on 6,000 miles now. I do wish they offered a full gauge package instead of just idiot lites.

I dont have a problem with the rear door only opening from outside, and if you have noticed how much dirt gets on the rear window driving would you really want to drive with it open ? Not to mention sucking in all the exhaust fumes.

I dont have any tire / wheel issues myself, but just ordered a new set of Coddington wheels. I havent had a chance to take any pics with my mods yet since the winter weather here has sucked for months.....but soon.

 

Stripped Hemi,
Full Gauge Package? What do you mean. I have Speed, Tach, Fuel, Temp and Oil. What else is there? This is a car, not a plane! Please let me know what gauges we are lacking...

 

Mine dont have an oil pressure gauge........? Id like that instead of the light and an amp/batt gauge. An oil temp would be nice too, those are all standard in my vette. My plane has a lot more than 6 gauges so im not asking for a lot......lol.

 

The problem with gauges is that most people have no idea what they mean. A light 'should' get someones attention and hopefully stop and have it checked. Having said that a friends wife drove his truck with the red over temp on until it fried the engine to the toon of $2500. Said she saw it but didn't think it meant anything!

Ideally a full set of gauges with an audio alarm when something is critical. My boat had that and it saved the day when the water pump failed and the alarm horn went off. Gives you ample warning to shut down before it is critical.

Whats the chance that you would be looking at a gauge or a light during the 60 second grace period when the water or oil pump failed? Thats about all the time you have before the engine is toast.

Like strippedhemi my plane has all the gauges and more, but no audio alarms, dumb, dumb, dumb!

 

while im here, how come my photo (already downloaded) dont show up as avatar or in signature? what I do wrong......?

My vette with full gauges recently had a problem. I noticed the oil pressure gauge fluctuating while cruising, never got the red engine lite. I checked it out and found out the oil pump was almost ready to go. Watching the gauge (no warning at all from lite) saved me a few grand.
