After heavy raining water gets in the trunk weighing it down making the horn and alarm go off after I open and close the trunk several times and getting lots of water into my trunk itself them I'm usually able to set the alarm and it not go off on its own in the middle of the night or early in the morning as this happens u think someone is trying to break into your vehicle it has happened at least 4 times in the past month and a half pretty annoyed water shouldn't get into the trunk that easy there aren't any holes showing we're it can get into so must run down the seams of the back of the car somehow and entering.also had the transmission fluid checked they put it on a lift and had a special tool they used and had to let it run and get up to a certain temperature to be able to tell me if my fluid was low or not and it wasn't because they said it got to the correct temperature but from time to time while driving the car will just jerk as if the transmission fluid is low or the transmission is going out but it only happens like maybe one or twice over a 3 week period so not sure what is up with that

Front hood - paint has been bubbling now. Dealer notified, admits a problem with hood and needs to be replaced which costs 2,000.00. This a factory issue and I don't feel that consumer should pay for this. Rear trunk lid - water leaks in cargo area after every rain. This has been ongoing and dealer has also been notified. No solution given at this time.

Takata recall- I have a vehicle that is currently on recall, I can not safely drive the vehicle so it has been mostly sitting since october when I received a recall notice. I have been in contact many times with the person who is supposed to help and resolve the problem. I have been told that I will be awarded $40.00 a day for a rental car until the problem has been fixed and I can have my car fixed. However I can not get an appropriate vehicle for $40.00 a day. Plus I can not afford to pay the money upfront to get a rental vehicle. It would be much cheaper to just have you guys pay it off. My car would of already been paid off if someone would have done so in the begining. I am write to let you know that the car is now having issues; it keeps making a loud clicking noise when it first starts as well as when it stops and periodically when it isn't even being driven. It also leaks water into the trunk when it is wet outside. I am asking once again for this car to be paid off, I can not sell or trade this vehicle and am still making payments on it. I am asking to get this paid off, if not I have contacted a lawyer and will proceed with a law suit, I really do not wish to persue this however it has been nine months and I need this resolved.

I bought this car brand new off the lot and have owned it for 2 years. The back of the car sways in the back, which I did not notice this at first being the driver, but passengers did. As time went on it got worse and I began noticing it in the front. The back end sways anytime you hit a bump and in the winter the back end is all over the place. I've been driving in winter weather for 10 years now and never had so much anxiety until driving this car. The back end makes hollow clicking noises from time to time like something is going to just "pop off". The steering wheel pulls to the right (even after all alignments, tires checked). When you attempt to push on the gas after being stopped the car stalls a great deal. The left rear suspension has been replaced already, the sway bar tightened, camber bushings done and there are still issues with the above but the dealer states "nothing is wrong". I have had my car in the dealership numerous of times for all of this not to mention the bubbling of the paint on the hood, the trunk leaking water and a few recalls. I plan on trading this car in asap and will not be purchasing another dodge. I spent way too much money on a car to have this many issues with barely 20,000 miles on it.

There is a sizable water leak entering the trunk lid inner panels, originating from the lack of a proper seal around the third high brake lite assembly( chmsl). The problem has been reported to chrysler since the 2008 model year of the avenger, stratus, sebring and pt cruiser. They are currently using the same trunk lid and light assy, and the problems persist. Chrysler has admitted knowledge of the problem and assigned a tsb # 23-016-12 in this service bulletin it states the corrective measure for dealers is to remove 2 rubber drain plugs, and nothing else. So the water still enters between the outer and inner trunk lid assy, exits through the latch assy, and now the removed drain plugs also. Unfortunately, the simple fix chrysler has assigned is a hazard for 2 reasons. 1/ water is in contact with power terminals on the trunk lid latch assy, 2/ water is not completely removed, and residual plus water coming out of latch assy sits and stagnates, and promotes the growth of mold spores. I have contacted chrysler, there is an open case history, and they choose to do nothing. I informed them I would take this action.
