What owners say
The headlight illumination factor is extremely poor with this car. The bolts to remove the light assembly to replace lamps is stripped out making it impossible to replace lamps as built.
Abs light comes on intermittently. Pedal will start to pulsate when brakes are applied. Sometimes when headlights are turned on ABS system feels like it is being drained.. Dealer said there was no problem. Dealer did try to say that brakes were metal to metal vibration.
Bolts that hold the headlight assembly to vehicle are unable to be removed. Head light can not be removed. Bolt is secured by metal ancore in plactic frame. Ancore is turning in the plastic. Causes a safty hazard by being unable to replace burned out headlights..
Transmission- needs to be rebuilt or replaced with new torque converter estimated cost of this by dealer/service person is $1713.91 with vehicle being only 5 yrs old and 83,000 miles. Headlights- are impossible to use driving at night because you are unable to see, more or less able to tell if they are on. High beams are at the level of low beams. Steering linkage- has a thunking when accelerates from a stop sign at times and also at times when slowing down your speed under 30mph. Hood supports- had to be replaced at time of purchase and after 2 years needs to be replaced again. Steering- makes a whining sound at times when turning a corner. Back door/driver's side- sticks at times especially after driving at 55mph, hard to open. Oxygen sensor replacement 152.91throttle body injectors 139.98 for one & 84.99 for other. Trans. Cooler lines 133.88 tie rod ends w/alignment 197.00 water pump 409.74 timing belt tensioner 144.44 all these estimates come from a chrysler dealer/service person.
