"Great looking Dodge despite problems"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

After 5000 miles I started getting a slight vibration that got increasingly worse. The dealer tole me it was normal. I didn't think so, so I had an independent mechanic try and balance the wheels. All four of my factory chrome rims were bent. Warranty replacement.

Auto-dimming rear view mirror stopped auto-dimming. Warranty replacement.

Bizarre cold weather squeaking from rear suspension. Bad knuckle and sway bar. Getting replaced tomorrow. It took the dealer 14 months to find the cause.

Molding below driver side door coming loose.

General comments?

I love this car beside the fact that I have had all of the above problems.

It looks great when it is all cleaned up.

Gas mileage is adequate. Averaging 22 MPH. It could use another 30HP. Turning radius is similar to a mid size Winnebago!, but it handles great.

22 MPH??? You mean 22 MPG, right? What size engine does yours have? Mine has the 3.0 and will scream!
