SUSPENSION:REAR
THIS IS TEARING MY CAR UP AND THE VALUE OF THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT DODGE DOES NOT COVER REAR STRUTS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WITH ONLY LESS THAT 37,000 MILES ON THE CAR THAT IT OBVIOUSLY WAS THE DEALER OR THE MANUFACTUER'S FAULT. WHY WOULD I TEAR UP A CAR THAT I JUST BOUGHT? THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
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.
