General Comments:

When I bought the car I purchased an extended warranty. Two days later I was back at the dealership with a list of complaints. The service department told me that either I was just hearing things, or the sounds I was hearing were "normal operating noise"; especially the "normal operating noise" coming from the transmission. A week later, in rush hour traffic, my car wouldn't shift out of first gear. I had to call the manufacturer's corporate office to demand they fix it because the service department told me my warranty didn't cover a transmission! They even lost my car after I had it towed in.

My ignition broke the first time and I couldn't remove the key. Then I had it fixed. Cost $525. It broke again.

When my battery died, I went to replace it myself, but I discovered I couldn't replace it because I would have to remove the entire front fender to access the battery and all the bolts are plastic, so they would break. I took it to an independant mechanic to replace it and it cost $157 to replace the battery.

I have never been more unhappy with a car and feel like I have been ripped off. I can't depend on this thing and will never purchase another Dodge/Chrysler vehicle!

Faults:

The battery went dead while I was at work. I went to Auto zone to get a new battery and found out that the battery was fine, but the negative terminal was corroded badly. Since the negative terminal is a cheap piece or metal wrapped around the post, I cut the terminal and installed a terminal with the bolt on the end to tighten. I bought a battery anyway so I should have no problems from here on out with that part of the electronics. Other than that I have not had anything happen so far.

I love this car. I am so glad I purchased it. The acceleration is awesome for a 6 cylinder and the 5 speed is very precise and comfortable.

The ride is smooth on newer pavement and a bit rough on older pavement and kinda feels like a stock car in some instances.

The interior is roomy and I have the seat set back about 3/4 of the way and I'm 6'-0" tall. It is very comfortable.

I have gotten 29.9 mpg one time in the last month I have had it, with driving roughly 50-60 miles a day. My drive to work is probably 20% city, 40% country road and 40% highway. I average 28.5-29mpg.

The sound system is excellent and the 6 disc changer is nice.

If they make them with 5 speeds again I am sure I will buy another one.
