Steering wheel makes a ton of noise. Previous owner tried to have it fixed to no avail. Doesn't bother me much though. Drives everyone else nuts.
Kills front brakes. I have to replace them in the very least once a year. Not just the pads either... calipers are always ruined.
Kills front tires. Wears them right down to the threads in short order on the outside edges.
Drove very well until recently. It shakes something fierce at over 80 MPH. Also bad at 35 and below. Not sure if it's the tires or alignment... have replaced both recently.
Starter replaced at 150,000.
Fuel pump had to be replaced at 160,000.
Water pump replaced at 170,000.
Multiple fuel filters.
Seems to have a problem getting into gear in the cold on occasion, a bit of warming up and it's okay.
Smells very heavily of gas on cold mornings until it warms up.
Very comfortable.
Was a nice ride until recently.
I change the oil every 3000 miles on the dot, just in case you are wondering.
Costs me about $75 a month to keep it going on average.
Gas is reasonable for a larger car. 22mpg average.
Looks like it's gonna take me past 200,000 miles... (if the front end doesn't fall apart soon...) What more can you expect from a full sized American car?
It sounds like your Dynasty was possibly wrecked in the front, judging by some of the usual problems you've experienced, like the noisy steering wheel, alignment and brake problems, and vibrations at certain speeds.
My Family has had many dodge cars around that era, they all made that power steering noise. I had a 1994 Plymouth grand voyager that shaked when you drive over 75mph. all it needed was shocks and struts.
