Front coil spring broke, which caused front end to drop. There is a recall for this problem, but this vehicle is not included although it has the same problem. Also, occupant received a recall for the wiring harness which he never had repaired, and lost the recall notice. Manufacturer stated that this vehicle was not included in wiring harness recall. Also, 5th gear quit for the second time, first time covered under extended warranty, this time owner must pay for repair. Chrysler has issued an updated nut for this problem.
