Multiple oil leaks and brake problems. Bought car with 14,000 miles, replaced front brakes and rotors at 19,000 miles, replaced cam seals at 32,000 miles, had new brakes again at 39,000 miles, and now at 49,500 having spark plug seals replaced. All major engine work done at newburgh park motors, newburgh ny. This car has cost me more in maintenance than my crappy 1979 gmc pick-up with a billion miles on it! The dealer just shrugs it off and says this is typical and it is the customer's responsibility. I say shame on chrysler for manufacturing a sub-standard product and not standing behind it! You cowards!!!!!

There have been ongoing brake problems. When applying brakes at any speed, the pedal will go to the floor, resulting in loss of brakes. This happens intermittently. Dealer has replaced the rear brake cylinders 4 times, front and rear rotors twice, and the rear drums twice. *ak
