| 13000 mi | Bumper plastic was bowed. Replaced clips and scratch plate. Driver and Passenger doors clunking all the time. They tried a special "lube" on the seals, it did not correct the issue. They put noise monitors all over and drove around, and then took apart a couple of the doors and made some adjustments. |

| 15000 mi | Still working on solving the noise from driver side doors. Noise worse after this trip to dealer. |

| 12000 mi | Rear bumper scuff plate was lifting in three places when car was new. Repaired, and now at 12k Chrysler has mfg a different part, evidently the original was defective. To be put on soon. Also looking at rattles <30mph, likely recurring weatherstip probl |
