Engine: Canshaft oil seal fell out, ruined engine, required rebuilding engine. Chrysler refused to pay. I found a tsb that provides a retainer to keep oil seal from falling out. Engine has severe vibration at idle. Can not find cause. Front suspension: Loud clunk near drivers footwell, many rattles. Found failed front lower control arm rear bushing. While repairing also found both outer tie rod ends worn and left side inner tie rod end worn. Sway bar link was also worn. No help from Chrysler at all. Rear wheel bearing loose. Tightened retainer nut to specified 185 ft lbs. Which corrected problem.

Oil leal...head gasket....defect in design brakes

The struts failed. The cause had not been determined. The part had been replaced three times within one year. There were engine problems, the spark plugs continued to get dirty, two sets of tires were lost, there was an odor coming from the ac, there was a leak coming from the main seal and left rear corner of the head, the heater fan only worked on high, there was a tapping noise coming from the engine compartment when the vehicle was first started then goes away, there was a clunking noise in the front wheels, the flash module caused the engine light to come on and the upstream #2 sensor was replaced, the steering rack had broken, the temperature gauge was inoperative, and the ac belt was cracked. The consumer has since traded the vehicle.
