Driver's side window not tracking correctly even after replacement of window regulator/motor a few months earlier. The nut that holds the track in place was working loose. Also found that coating the rubber window track with vaseline helped.

Starter with the repaired solenoid had other problems, was replaced with a brand new unit made by the OEM cheaper than buying any rebuilt starter sold in typical parts stores.

Original driver's interior door handle broke. Instead of replacing it with another overpriced part as I did on the passenger side, I drilled three holes into the two broken sections of the handle and fabricated a heavy gauge wire clip to join the two pieces together. Door now opens better than new and better than the new Dorman part that replaced the passenger side interior door handle. 
Jun 2017

213700 mi
Replacement blend door actuator failed again. HVAC codes were retrieved from control panel. The replacement part was at this time prohibitively expensive. I removed the failed part and used an ultrathin 1950s open/boxed end wrench that fit the blend door shaft, moved the blend door to maximum cooling and taped it in place with T-Rex tape. I hate this kind of repair but for now it works. In Chrysler LH car circles, the frequent failure of the Dorman replacement part is a known issue. This winter, I will flip the blend door over to full heat. (such as it is) 
Feb 2021

US $1199
replacement of original subframe bushings, lower control arms, rear trailing arms, strut rod bushings.
