Peeling paint from roof and hood. Can hurt someone as it flyes of the vehicle. No safety defect mentioned in the summary.
Had parked vehicle. Lifted rear hatch. It wouldn't stay up. Kept closing on its own. Right hydraulic cylinder bolt had broken off of frame. Strut was hanging out. The bolt looked like it had been sheared off.
Transmission failed.
Passanger's front door weld at hinges broke loose, door not shutting correctley. Had to have temporary weld on hinges while trying to locate replacement door. Door was not usable at this time. Dealer estimated cost for door replacement up to $1500.00 was told that this problem happens regularly with this make, and has been reported to dodge, but nothing is being done. Was also told that door could fall off at any time. Seems very dangerous to a family of two small children. Want to know if dodge is doing anything to warranty this problem since it is a factory defect.
