| Multiple problems with this car since purchase. unknown engine failure problem (dealership was unable to pinpoint problem), transmission sensors failed, rotors replaced 8 times in 4 years, black tar coming from doors, numerous alignment problems, and the big problem - the seat belt buckles keep failing. passenger side replaced by dealership under warranty. driver side now failing as well. huge safety hazard! dealership says car not under warranty.*jb | |||

| Multiple repairs done to this vehicle. has been at dealership in louisville 6 times and continues to be a mystery.. replaced parts, and still can't find the problem. stalls, stutters, and jerks viciously when in drive. will stall and is uncontrollable even at speeds of 35 mph. constant problems and feel very unsafe in this vehicle... feel very taken advantage of by buying this vehicle and getting no satisfaction from dodge at all. | |||
