Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. THE CAR LOOKS VERY NICE ON THE OUTSIDE BUT HAS MANY ISSUES ON THE INSIDE. THIS CAR HAS COST ME A FORTUNE SINCE MY WARRANTY WENT OUT AT 75,000 MILES. I HAVE REPLACED BRAKES, ROTORS, AND DRUMS ALMOST EVERY YEAR. THIS IS VERY COSTLY (OVER $350 EVERY TIME). MY TRANSMISSION FAILED ON ME TWICE, ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AND THE OTHER WITHOUT A WARRANTY. I SPENT OVER $1,000 FOR REPAIRS TO REPLACE A GASKET, O-RING, AND TRANSMISSION PUMP. MY O2 SENSOR FAILED TWICE. WHEN I TRY TO ADJUST MY MIRRORS WITH THE BUTTON ON THE DRIVER SIDE, THE MIRRORS WON'T RESPOND AT ALL. I CONSTANTLY HEAR A KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. THE SERVICE ADVISORS AT THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT CHRYSLER CARS SOUNDS LIKE THAT. THAT'S NORMAL. ALL THE TINGS I HAVE SHARED WITH YOU ARE JUST SOME OF THE THINGS I HAVE EXPERIECED. IN MY OPINION, THIS CAR WILL PUT YOU IN A BAD FINANCIAL SITUATION. IT'S NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE. I TRADED MINE FOR A MORE RELIABLE CAR (A GERMAN CAR).*AK
