Chrysler Magnum Reliability

Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Chrysler Magnum rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?

TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."

The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Chrysler Magnum reliability information based on owner experiences through June 30, 2010:

Successful Repair Trips per Year (per 100 vehicles)
Year	Make	Model	Trips / Year per 100	TS	Cars Mon/Car Av Odo
2008	Dodge	Charger / Magnum	38 Fewest         Most		26 7.2 25300
2007	Dodge	Charger / Magnum	53 Fewest         Most		28 9.7 36700
2006	Dodge	Charger / Magnum	60 Fewest         Most		76 8.2 43300
2005	Dodge	Magnum	84 Fewest         Most		49 7.9 71100

To see how the Chrysler Magnum's repair frequency compares to other model years and competing car models, and for a table key, click here. Updated quarterly.

We also have some new reliability stats for the Chrysler Magnum. "Nada-odds" reports the percentage that required no repairs at all, not even a minor one--nada--in the past year, while "Lemon-odds" reports the percentage that required three (or more) repair trips.

Nada-odds     cars per 100 with no repairs (nada) in the past year; 100 is ideal Lemon-odds     cars per 100 with 3+ repair trips in the past year; 0 is ideal
Year	Make	Model	Nada-odds per 100 cars	Lemon-odds per 100 cars	Cars Mon/Car Av Odo
2006	Dodge	Charger / Magnum	64	< 1	44 11.4 46300
2005	Dodge	Magnum	join to view		25 11.6 78400

To provide comprehensive results, TrueDelta needs reliability data on all cars--not just the Chrysler Magnum--from people like you. To encourage participation, those who help provide the data receive free access to the site's car reliability information. Find out the details.

Chrysler Magnum Repair Histories

To supplement our Car Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Chrysler Magnum repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.

Individual responses to both the Car Reliability Survey and the Car Repair History Survey are posted here:

Think you might have a lemon, and want to see if other owners are having similar problems? Then this is the place to check.

Chrysler Magnum Extended Warranty

Concerned about the Chrysler Magnum's reliability? Considering an extended warranty? Warranty Direct is a 26-year-old company with nearly 2 million contracts sold and over $500 million in paid claims.

Like insurance, extended warranties are best bought to limit downside risk, and from a company that is almost certain to remain in business. While for most people extended warranties will not pay off, for some they will pay for themselves many times over.

If you are unsure about the Chrysler Magnum's reliability, or simply want the peace of mind afforded by an extended warranty, you can click here to purchase one from Warranty Direct.

Chrysler Magnum Gas Mileage

Everyone knows that government estimates often aren't indicative of the Chrysler Magnum's gas mileage in the real-world.

In response, TrueDelta began collecting gas mileage data from owners of the Chrysler Magnum, with the intent of providing real-world gas mileage estimates customized to how and where you drive.

"Why (Not) the Chrysler Magnum?" Reviews

For car buyers' reasons for buying a Magnum--or not--click here.

Want another perspective? Since 1999, Michael Karesh, the developer of TrueDelta, has contributed reviews to Epinions, where he is one of two people who oversee the autos section.

Michael's most recent Chrysler Magnum review.

Note: The older the review, the more likely it has become outdated owing to more recently introduced competitors.

Chrysler Magnum Tire Reviews

The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Chrysler Magnum tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Chrysler Magnum--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.

The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
