| I am so unhappy with this car, it has given me nothing but headaches. i have had front end bearing problems to electrical, but the worst problem is the one i have right now. my car is at the dealership as we speak, and i am being told that chrysler may not cover this problem. the car has various leaks,the oil has leaked into the spark plugs, and other areas that they are not certain off, they suggested one is coming from the head gasket a part of the engine. the problems started about six months ago, first it wanted to stop on me at every light, second the engine light went on, third the oil light. i would take it to mechanics and they could not find the problem, it was getting worse and i would replace parts that were going bad, but still the problem was there. when i went to chrysler dealership they told me we can't see the problem, but i told them that i would not leave until they found the problem. i am waiting the status on this matter from chrysler extended warranty. i suggest you recall this car, it has some serious issues relating to the engine, my perspective of this vehicle is the life span lasts 70,000,mile because the problems.get worse. | |||
