The front frame that holds engine, struts, brakes, steering are rotted out from rust causing major issues and possible injuries and death !!!!!!!!!!! Chrysler knows of these issues and wont do anything to remedy the problem.

I was leaving the parking lot Sunday and something snapped. I got out of the car and checked the front end and one wheel was one way and other was the other direction! looked underneath and saw that the ball broke out of the socket. If that would of happened on the freeway, I would be dead or severely injured.

Every year since I bought this car I've had to replace the front tires because they are wearing on the inside. Tried alignment each time I've replaced them. Took it to pep boys this time and they said it was the control arm bushing was bad on both sides. My 60,000 mile tires only made it 20,000 miles. They said the 2005 model was improved upon but they did nothing for the 2004 year. This is getting very expensive replacing tires every 20,000 miles. Especially when these are high profile tires.

While driving 45 mph a loud ticking noise was heard coming from underneath the hood of the vehicle. Consumer drove the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, however the mechanic could not duplicate or resolve the problem. The headlights had gone out while the consumer was driving the vehicle, the wheel needed to be replaced, there was a problem with the brake line in the front, the wheel bearing was broken in half, the fog lights had gone out, there was a roaring sound when the vehicle was in motion, there was a whirling sound in the engine which would get worse when accelerated, the rotor/pads rusted, the steering pulled to the left, and when slowing down, the steering wheel would shake.
