General Comments:

This car has been a decent car over the past 4 years. Until yesterday. I would have been absolutely amazed by all the complaints concerning this car if I read them two days ago. I can't believe that so many people have the same problem with the 2.7 engines blowing up and Chrysler refuses to help. I just got off the phone with Chrysler and the Dealer. They say it's not their responsibility. I understand that there is a class action lawsuit in the works for this problem. I want in. Please let me know how I may sign up. I can't believe it is actually going to cost me more to fix the car than it is worth! Piece of Junk!

General Comments:

Although this car looks great, sporty and is very roomy, it is an unreliable car. Once it started to have issues, it was one thing after another. Apparently, the car only lasts till about 65,000 miles, right after the extended warranty expires.

Mechanics have declined to fix certain problems such as the oil leak due to the engine structure.

I bought this car for the spaciousness it provided. I have 4 children and the 6 passenger seating was great!

At approximately 38,000 miles the fans locked up and caused the car to overheat badly. The dealer fixed this under warranty.

At 47,000 the fans yet again locked up and caused the engine to overheat, again, fixed by the dealer.

I live down in a valley and have to climb a huge hill every morning to go into work, one morning (50,000 miles) as I headed up that hill the car suddenly wound up the RP M's until they bottomed out and the engine shut itself down. I took it the very next day and had it looked at and the oil changed.

At approximately 52,000 miles it began to lunge while driving. At that point I had it towed in to be repaired.

1st call from Car-Max: "Ma-am, there seems to be a bent rod, the repairs may not be covered by your warranty unless you can provide oil change receipts, at this point your looking at 3-6 thousand dollars". I am at this point in tears. Anyone who is raising 3 teenage boys & a baby knows how tight $$ is!

I have the company mechanic start pulling all his records for the past year out and dig through them to find what I need.

2nd call from Car-Max: (different person) "Ma-am, we have found the problem, looks like a bearing has spun out and caused some serious problems. Good news is it will be covered under warranty". Now I'm doing the happy dance! But too soon!

3rd call from Car-Max: "Ma-am, we are still awaiting the records on your oil changes so that max-care can decide whether or not to cover this".

I paid a substancial amount of money to upgrade my warranty, look what good it did me!

It's been 4 days... still no decision!

Bottom line is... I should have kept the Chevy!

This car is roomy, handles well, and looks nice. But it is however a mechanical nightmare!!!
