Since owning this car I have had nothing but problems from 0 to 36,000 miles most were minor and were taken care of by the dealer (althoughi had to tell them what was wrong - they replaced the wrong parts the first time!). unfortunately, most of the problems occured after 36,000 miles were on the odometer and Chrysler has not been too responsive to my requests for assistnace. I have been told by the dealer that my vehicle is out of warranty and that they would be happy to fix it but who wants to pay $75 so that a technician can learn to fix my car. In frustration, I have purchased a shop manual and have started to repair these problems myself. My sun roof needs a 10 cent plastic part which Chrysler does not stock so in order to get it I need a new $500 sunroof mechanism! now, my transmission will not shift properly (in all gears) and I either need to rebuild the transmission, replace the clutch or the clutch cable. If you would like more informatoin on my saga please feel free to call me.

When the car is driven in wet weather, the exhaust will get extremely loud. The problem seems to be that water is getting up into the car somewhere. The noise is loud enough that it seems the muffler has fallen off. Once you slow down in the car or stop the noise will cease as well. While the car is acting up it will also backgfire and sputter making a noise that is similar to sucking liquid through a straw. The car runs fine in dry weather. The car has been in for service 4 times for the same problem. It has also been looked at by the factory rep. Both the service personel and the factory rep have no idea what the problem may be. They have already attempted several repairs including aligning the intermediate pipe. At the last repair attempt they placed a shield over the exhasut system. The only thing this accomplished was muffling the sound the car makes when it gets wet. As of now the car still has the same problem.
