Tire rims are too soft!!!! Have replace 2 rims and have owned vehicle less than 18 months. Door panels are defective!!! Sunroof upholstery is defective. Engine roars. Over drive button is located in a bad place. Instructions are confusing between panel instructions and o/d manuel. I love to drive this car....but I hate it! Am extremely disappointed!!!( dot number: )
I have had nothing but problems out of this car!! The car was purchased in charlotte, but I live in spartanburg, so all service and maintenance had been performed at quality chrysler (1030 n. Church st., spartanburg, sc 29303; phone: 864/596-4550). The transmission was not shifting correctly in 11/98, but they couldn't find anything wrong with it at the dealership. It would not move when put into reverse or drive. They finally found the problem in 6/98. Started having additional problems in 11/99, and they stated once again that there was not a problem. - the door panels have come off of both doors on numerous occasions. Blew a tire while driving approximately 25mph. Rim appears to have cut through side wall. - horn on right side of steering wheel does not work. This is a safety issue in that I couldn't alert a vehicle that was about to shift into my lane. I had to drive onto the shoulder of the road to avoid an accident. - I have had other problems that are not safety issues, including : spots in paint on spoiler, alarm sounding when unlocking passenger door with key, spots on back window. I am very unhappy with the quality of this car, especially since it is my very first new car.
Transaxle/differential seal failed. Nlm
Vehicle can be shifted from park at any time (key or no key) may be similar to recall number 98v183000, although this vehicle is outside recall dates/VIN.
When driving at any speed and applying brakes, vehicle shakes and pulls to the right. Wnen consumer drives over 15 MPH, vehicle starts to vibrate. Also, when switching into a different gear there is a knocking noise coming from the vehicle.
When coming to a stop or at low speed vehicle will downshift. Gear will go from drive to third gear by itself, without moving it by hand.dealer claims this is a characteristic of vehicle,and it helps to protect transmission.
