I HAVE A 2005 MAGNUM SXT, THE CAR HAS PULLED TO THE RIGHT SINCE DAY ONE, IT HAS BEEN ALIGNED 2 TIMES NOW. THE 2 FRONT TIRES ARE WEARING BADLY ON THE OUTSIDE, THE DRIVER SIDE IS WORSE THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT CHRYSLER REPLACE THE TIRES AT THIS TIME I HAVE NOT HEARD AN ANSWER ON THAT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE WEAR ON THE TIRES IS NOT DUE TO THE CAR PULLING TO THE RIGHT THAT IT IS A WEAR PROBLEM (I GUESS THE WAY I DRIVE) I DON'T AGREE!! MY CAR HAS ALSO STALLED 3 TIMES WHILE GOING IN REVERSE. MY GAUGE LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS FLASH AND FLICKER EVERY TIME THEY ARE TURNED ON THE DEALER HAS SAID THEY HAVE SEEN IT FLICKER ONE TIME, THEY MUST DRIVE WITH THEIR EYES CLOSED!! SOMETIMES THE BACK WINDOW CAN NOT BE ROLLED UP BY THE DRIVERS CONTROLS. *NM
