When I first bought the car, I had to replace engine mounts and transmission mounts (this was from former owner). Replaced crank shaft sensor as well.
Later, replaced a lot of front end components, tie rods, rack bushings, inner tie rod ends, ball joint, sway bar links.
Fuel pump died later on, first MAJOR repair.
AC leaks, common problem with these cars.
Anti-freeze leaks from front of motor. $400 to fix.
Although the car has had its fair share of repairs, I expected it. I bought the car for only $950 with 111000 miles on it. The car is VERY reliable, with the exception of a few noises from the front end.
Car has got some good power. The 3.3 is a STRONG motor, made for minivans. The tranny is alright for now, some noises, but Dodge has crappy transmissions anyway.
The interior is SUPER comfy, my car has a few problems with the power windows, mainly due to someone trying to break into the car. Lots of wind noise from the front doors because of weather stripping deteriorating over the years.
This car burns NO oil, leaks NO oil, and rides very comfortably.
I think the motor/transmission mounts would be classified as a major repair don't you think?
Car has been reliable for me, strange one came up the ABS light, heat fan quit, but heat still comes in summer, winter, radio was off, but now on, do I have a electronic problem? Anyone have a similar situation??
