Head gasket blew at 50,000 miles. Piece of junk. The dealership wouldn't even do anything about the problem, and lied as to the source of the issue. After it was fixed, it blew a hole in the piston. Chrysler swept this under the rug.
It seems that the K car actually had a decent reputation in its day. They played a large part of Chrysler's rebound back in the 80's. (Well the government bail-out didn't hurt, and a bit later the Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth Mini-Vans)
But as for now, I don't think that too many readers are rushing out to buy 23 year old K Cars, or from what I've been reading, Chrysler products in general.
Perhaps the new Dodge Challenger will increase traffic in the showrooms.
We had a 1984 Plymouth Reliant and it was a nice little car. It was dependable, nothing ever went wrong, and it was the first little car with a big car ride that we owned.
I was always happiest with Dodge/Plymouth/Chrysler cars from the 1960's through 1980's, although they didn't offer me much in the 1990's and early 2000's. I replaced my old Dodge truck with a new Ford because Dodge just didn't offer me anything, anymore.
However, these past couple of years, Dodge/Chrysler have some interesting offerings after a long, long dry spell. The Chrysler 300 is nice, and the Dodge Charger is growing on me (if you ignore the Charger name on a 4-door). The Caliber, Avenger, and Sebring are decent looking cars, too. They still don't have a real 4x4 SUV, though, because the Durango is just a bloated land barge that doesn't even have a 2-speed transfer case.
