 1-electrical system on overhead digital compass system became very hot. this electrical component system did not work for a period of a few days. it has intermittently worked now. 2-when you turn the steering wheel there is a horrible noise coming from one of the rear wheels. it makes a woo-woo sound every time the vehicle is turned, primarily turning right. a honest mechanic, who is a friend, told me that dodge (chrysler) was infamous for this type of wheel problem. 3-the transmission seems to have a hard time shifting, which involves the above wheel problem. 4-the air conditioning system does not cool and the vehicle is only 4 years old. 5-the leather covered dash is peeling up and began last summer, when the vehicle was only 3 years old. contacted chrysler/dodge hq and dealership and both have refused to repair problem.
