My radio has a hole in it. There was a pop noise and then everything leaked out the car was only just started, not over heating I stopped to talk to a neighbor when we heard the pop noise and a piece of plastic was sticking out of the fan area I later learned it was from my fan assembly. How does this happen to a car with less then 56,000. Miles that goes to dealers for service, this car is a lemon. They had to rebuild transmission at 27,000. Miles, brakes and rotors last year four new tires, and that dealer said I was going to need front end work, I have been to three different dealers and don't feel I can trust any of them. They seem to find things to do even if not needed. I don't think my transmission was leaking when they said it was either I would have seen it on the ground as it sits in my driveway but I do think it would have been leaking when I left there, as there not going to chance me bringing it somewhere else. This car is a lemon and I should get a full refund. With all recalls needed new tires and rotors brakes etc, last year and they said something about front end work will be needed. Service depts, are not trust worthy when I took it for an oil change six months later it had no oil how is that happen. Do then not fill it up so do I have to take it to be checked after an oil change at lester glen Chrysler not to speak of the recalls on this car. Updated 10/04/16

Continental conti-pro contact tires P225-60R18 99H took car in for valve job and while driving home the front end was shaking. Took back and was due to bad tires, steel belt coming through on front Continental conti pro contact tires. The tires had at least another 20,000 miles wear left on them. This was the second set of tires (not original tires) on this vehicle so should have lasted longer than this. Tire defect??

Goodyear integrity tires hydroplane everytime it rains. I have already had one accident because I couldn't stop. I've run a red traffic light and I have experimented in a parking lot and hydroplaned traveling at 15 mph.
