Cruise control went out shortyly after dealer reprogrammed PCM. Rear main seal has been an ongoing problem with constant leaks. Radio began working intermittently about year and half ago and now is completely out. Instrument cluster was working intermittently for about a year and then completely went out. A/c condensor went out and took belts with it. I have done alot of internet research and word of mouth research and found that all these components are common failurs. Called dodge complaint line only to have them tell me I'm sol since warranty is up.

As soon as this car hit 36000mls the problems just added up. Everytime I turned around something was going wrong this car. Chrysler were the worst manufaturer I had ever dealt with and will never buy anything from then again. We had to let the car go back because we could no long afford the repairs on it. The cruise control had to have some thing to do with the computer, and was replacedby myself. The alternator went bad was replaced by myself. The radio went bad was replaced by myself. The transmission had a pin that was not fitted and wore a hole through the transfer case. Malfunction!! We could not afford it and did not repair.

Steering problem- when going through puddles, loss of steering experienced for a few seconds and sometimes total loss. Car had to be shut off to gain control back. Power steering belt was tightened by local mechanic because dealership said nothing was wrong. There's something wrong with this picture.
