| 96000 mi | Engine would just stall at low speed or stopped. Sometimes would also not start. They never found what the problem was other than there was a faulty code with an inverter I was using inside the car. I removed the inverter and it was still happening after that. During that time, it was happening almost every day. It has not happened for a few weeks now but since the dealership never did anything, it might happen again who knows. I also heard the new Chrysler Pacifica has similar issues.

The alternator,starter battery and a bunch of wires had to be replaced the leaking coolant caused an electrical short my dash board lights flicker the A/C switch clock a/c controls headlight switch all burnt out bulbs. All this because 1 faulty defective coolant fitting located above a very hot exhaust pipe. Chrysler has done me wrong I will never forget it.

I have been loosing oil since I purchased this lemon, the dealer fixed a bad leaking intake gasket a few years ago I went back told them still loosing oil they said sure that is the new normal. No it is not finally I checked under the car and saw oil leaking looks like it was coming from the oil filter but I checked very thoroughly and found the filter good it was actually the oil filter adapter, so I did some research and sure enough Chrysler has a TSB and an updated oil filter adaptor to fix the leaking oil. Well what do you know Crappy Chrysler does it again just proving these Chrysler, Dodge Jeeps are all LEMONS and put together like garbage. At least the company got their name right CRY SLER. Lots of people crying pulling their hair out with all these problems. What else is new Only In America made in America. Can you say garbage made in America today I rather have a car made in China at least it will last longer. I want my old Oldsmobile Cutlass back 1988 OLDS was made in America and lasted forever never had a problem till I sold it. I have learned my lesson my next car will be a fixer upper from the junk yard from the 80's when Americas knew how to build a vehicle. Just to the dopes wanting to leave a negative comment yes I am America born and raised 7Th Generation so I can say what ever the hell I want. |

After finding oil drippings on the garage floor I assumed it was a loose oil filter. Well I assumer wrong after a week I noticed a leak again so purchased some Full synthetic oil and a filter from autozone and when removing the filter I noticed the oil housing leaking from the gasket.
