I had almost constant problems I.e. Mechanical,equipment and fought a neverending battle with the dealership/warranty dept. And lost work/jobs ultimately leading to having no money to all my monthly bills or to get the car repaired, I had to voluntarily give up to reposession to the lender, and just recently over a year later I am recieving notices of traffic violations on this vehicle.caus. No safety defec tstated.
I have the car in for the 2nd time to get the same recall done, the fuel o rings and fuel rail, my engine was spraying gas. I wonder if it is really going to be repaired this time. I hope it does'nt take a major explosion or accident for dodge to fix the problem or offer a replacement vehicle. I think this car is a lemon.
