| 2007 | ENGINE | REVERSE WENT OUT IN TRANSMISSION. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF ANY SORT. HAD NO IDEA THAT I EVEN HAD ANY PROBLEMS. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR ALMOST A MONTH WHILE STILL HAVING TO MAKE PAYMENTS AND FIND ANOTHER WAY OF GETTING AROUND.VEHICLE WAS JUST OVER A YEAR OLD. GOT THE VEHICLE BACK AND THE REVERSE WENT OUT IN THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN AS WELL AS THE REAR MAIN SEAL LEAKING. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR MORE REPAIRS AND WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE AGAIN FOR ALMOST A MONTH. NOW, THE MOTOR IS KNOCKING AND SKIPPING AND VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 95,000 MILES. THESE CARS ARE LEMONS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW CHRYSLER CORPORATION IS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS AND I SURE DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE BUYING A DODGE. WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND SOMEBODY NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND MAKE IT RIGHT. SAD PART IS I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS GOING TO NEED MAJOR ENGINE REPAIRS OR ENGINE REPLACE AND I STILL OWE ON THE VEHICLE AND OF COURSE THERE IS NO WARRANTY LEFT. *TR |
