ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
BLOWN HEAD GASKET AT 62000 MILES. YOU WOULD THINK FOR THE MONEY YOU PAY FOR A CAR TODAY THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AT THIS MANY MILE AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HOW MANY CARS ITS HAPPENING TO! THE INTERNET CAN TELL YOU MANY THINGS WHEN THE DEALER SAYS NO THATS NOT THE PROBLEM AND CHARGES YOU A 100 DOLLARS AND CAR OVER HEATS AGAIN LEAVING ME STANDED AND NEEDING ATOW I THINK THIER IS A COVER UP GOING ON BECAUSE DODGE DOES NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THIER MISTAKE AND THEY SHOULD! PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS HEAD GASKET IF LEAKED OIL ONTO HEADER COULD CAUSE A FIRE. THNK YOU MIKE CASTERLINE

STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASE, ALL OIL WAS GONE FROM CAR. DEALER FIRST REPLACED THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT, KEPT LEAKING, THEN REPLACED THE VALVE COVER GASKET, KEPT LEAKING, THEN REPLACED THE CAM SEALS. DEALER ASSURED ME THAT IT WAS NOT THE HEAD GASKET. STILL LEAKING OIL. TOOK IT TO PERSONAL MECHANIC AND IT IS THE HEAD GASKET LEAKING. DEALER HAS REFUSED TO REFUND PURCHASE PRICE OR REPLACE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN OVER A 2 MONTH PERIOD. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS VERY NOISY BRAKES, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAS SAT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME (OVERNIGHT). THE CAR HAS A SHAKING AND RATTLING IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS, ESPECIALLY AT SLOW SPEEDS. THE DASH BOARD REFLECTS ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN IT IS SUNNY AND THE GLARE MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT TIMES.
