This vehicle has been nothing but problems since day one.currently I'm looking at replacing the whole rack in the front end of the vehicle!!my car is 5 years old has been maintained properly and is my family sedan.I am a 33 year old mother and have never done anything to abuse or neglect this vehicle.it leaks oil,the door seals don't line up properly on the back doors and it just seems like it won't last the term of my loan I took out to buy this vehicle in the first place.I am so disgusted with chrysler manufacturing such a lemon and turning around and selling it to hapless victims.preying on families that can barely afford there vehicles.when that salesman looked into my 18 month old daughters eyes at the time did it even matter to him that he might be putting her life in danger by selling her parents a poorly designed and built car?obviously not.unfortunately for people like myself I cannot afford to take them to court for selling me this lemon and needing to work every day to get by I needed this vehicle.I have to drive it every day.it's a shame that chrysler has ruined another american families opinion on american made vehicles because I will never buy american for vehicles again.thank you for your time.
