68000 mi US $600	Drivers side front caliper was leaking brake fluid. Both calipers should be replaced at the same time. While the calipers were off I replaced brake pads, rotors, brake lines and flushed brake fluid. Rotors still had plenty of life left, but it was easier to get it all done at once since the system was already taken apart. A family friend mechanic did the work. Total brake job cost $900.

73000 mi US $115	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.
