    Are you on recirculate rather than fresh air? That could EXPLAIN why it fogs up.

    I had:

    1. Sticky right rear door hinge (needed new hinge)
    2. Moonroof/sunfoof not aligned properly (fixed but dealer caused #3)
    3. Sunshade was stuck open and wouldn't close
    4. cracked steering wheel silver inlays
    5. radio sometimes (when the car is turned on) changes to FM and has no sound, volume won't go up, only down, still no sound. Need to power off and power on radio to reset.
    6 surging at speed, feels like the mds cutting in and out. There is a TSB to fix this FROM what I was told.

    All small nit picky things, but I still love the car.

    1. Right pull (slight, listed because I'll have dealer CHECK it)
    2. Buzz in rear speaker mounts
    3. Sunshade seal detached at RH end
    4. Wipers operate only on high speed (happened once, hasn't since)
    5. LH rear window inoperative with either switch (intermittent)
    6. Surface cracks in steering-wheel trim
    7. EVIC displays incorrect outside temp, apparently affects climate control (happened once, hasn't since)

    Car pulls ever so slightly to the right
    Right rear speaker buzz even when the radio is turned off
    left rear window operates intermittently (but works when I'm near the dealership)
    There is nothing else that I can think of right off the top of my head.


    I love this car!!

    Mostly minor but here is my list
    1) Power adjustable brake pedal does not adjust
    2) Auto wipers don't always activate with rain but do activate every time I signal a turn
    3) Damn Oil Filter was screwed on way to tight
    4) Scratch in dash bezel buy analog clock
    5) Uconnect indicates 0 for signal level and battery level
    I'm not talking incoherently, you just haven't had enough caffeine!

    Known issues so far:

    -- Replaced driver's window switch assembly since it wouldn't control rear driver's side window

    -- Rear seat driver's side seat belt buckle installed backwards. (The release is on the underside of the buckle when buckled, instead of on top) It's not twisted either, already checked.

    -- Parking brake: Have to really push in to get it to work. Tested by parking on incline with car in neutral. Rolled back unless pedal was REALLY depressed.

    -- Headliner is a little jagged where it meets the windshield.

    -- Right pull (slight)

    -- Fit between bumper and hood, slightly larger gap on the right side

    -- Insufficient paint on front bumper, if you look close (as in get on your knees and look in the hard to see areas around the grille) you can see that there are sections where you can see the dark plastic underneath.

    -- Slight rattle / flapping noise due to loose / flimsy front wheelwells

    Having said that, I love driving this car. I consider these minor, minor issues that don't detract FROM the overall experience. Plus, most of these are easily taken care of.

    1. driver side "HEMI" emblem not on straight, dealer ordered but it still bugs the $hit out of
    me.
    2. hood not on straight, larger gap on drivers side.

    3. Tailgate WAY out of alignment, it hits the interior trim when you try to close it,


    all to be fixed when the "HEMI" trim comes in, I noticed all these things in the first two days but I couldn't bring myself to be without the car, so I waited 2 weeks.

    I've been checking closely at the steering wheel inserts and I think the right one may be starting to SHOW the hairline cracks in them. I'll let it go for now but if they get worse...

    1. Right Pull (Dealer ordered bolt kit)
    2. Radio and interior lights flicker when radio is turned up while ignition is off
    3. Rough Idle and Spark knock (seems very loud)

    On that last one,Anyone else experiencing this ? The Dealer tried to tell me the Magnum RT just made a loud "clicking" noise, and now I see a TSB for this exact problem.(Havent called dealer yet)

    The window buttons bug the crap out of me, I can't see the lights on them in the darkest night unless I hold my head directly over them. I asked about this at the dealer and they said it was supposed to be like that. Aren't the sunroof buttons supposed to light up as well? I only ask this as nothing on the ceiling console worked when I first got it and this seems only logical.

    Hmmm, I can see it now, cruising down the highway and HAVING to hold my head over the switch to see it then WHAM! because it also drifts slightly to the right and my steering wheel is aimed off centre.


    It's the little things but what a car!.

    Paul.
    Y'all know I got me a Magnum, why else would i be here?
