Problem overview

Some Dodge Magnum owners report experiencing issues such as the ESP BAS warning, which indicates potential problems with the vehicle's stability control and braking systems, often caused by faulty sensors or damaged wiring. Additionally, owners have noted power loss that may stem from fuel system issues or engine misfires, necessitating a thorough diagnosis to identify the specific cause. Shaking or vibrations while driving are also reported, which could indicate problems with tires, suspension components, or the engine itself. Furthermore, some owners experience transmission jerking, potentially due to low transmission fluid or worn components, requiring a detailed inspection of the transmission system. It is advised that affected owners consult a qualified mechanic for diagnosis, perform necessary diagnostic tests, and address repairs promptly to prevent further damage and ensure vehicle safety and performance.
