The ESP and ABS light came on and the brakes where given me resistance when I apply pressure the brakes. Had a mechanic look at it and he changed brake sensors and it goes for a while but still having the problem. Finally took it to Dodge and they are checking the problem as of now.

2007 Magnum · Lugs/nuts/bolts/studs · 17,000 miles · Mar 2008

I have never received any recall for Chrysler for the Dodge Magnum 2006 since I had it for 6 yrs+exited the freeway, and made turn to head towards my designated location. As soon as I cross over the first light ( going the speed limit) my vehicle lost control and accelerated more speed without me able to control the steering wheel causing the car to jerk all over the street. (unable to control steering and brake). Lost control went off the road instantly hit a tree and spun several times until I hit another tree,and that is what made the vehicle crash and come to a stop.

Tire completely disintegrated at highway speeds of 70mph. Only about 2 inches of the sidewall are left on the rim. The entire half of the tread-side was gone. No impact upon event. Simply separated from the sidewall all the way around. I have a photo of the remains. I've never seen anything like it.
