"Biggest pile of junk called a car ever made"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

3 days after I bought the car. the transmission sensor went out.

A few weeks later the power steering reservoir had to be replaced.

The starter had to be replaced.

The power steering rack and pinion had to be replaced.

The transmission sensor went out again approximately 1 year after it was replaced before.

Two fuel injectors replaced.

The ignition switch shorted out and had to be replaced.

My check engine light comes on every other week.

Now there is something wrong with the emmission control system and idle air control motor.

General comments?

I hate this car and would get rid of it in a heartbeat, but I've invested so much money into it that it wouldn't be worth it. I have honestly invested more than four times the value of the car into it. Now I'm just stuck with it. I will NEVER buy another dodge as long as I live.

What Do You Expect? It's a 1996 and that's old. If you do not want to fix it buy a new one!

You expect too much out of old cars. Every single bit of the above listed problems are typical for a 12yr old car. No matter what the make.
