Smells like gas
We acquired this vehicle through a family member and are working to pass it on to some other unlucky soul. Took it to the dealership to have the gas smell checked out under a recall. They said the recall was not active for our vehicle, but they would gladly do a diagnostic for $90. The ABS and traction control have failed and the thing feels like a category 4 earthquake when it idles. The only good that will come of this vehicle is when we get it sold and buy a Volvo.

Fun, But Always Broke
Owned it for about two years now. Bought it with 65k and nothing but problems since. After reading some of these reviews, it seems as though the car craps out after 60k miles. Over the past two years I put roughly $4,000 and still going.
Not too bad
This car is my first car and was purchased with 57K on it. The car is great in acceration. It is a pile of mush when it comes to cornering. I'm not to happy about the gas mileage (approx 20-21mpg). Very comfortable and fits people of a larger size. The trunk is also able to hold quite a bit of cargo. The reliability isn't great, had to replace water pump and timing for $1300. Inner tie rods for $400. Thermostat broke into about 10 peices, but easily repaired by myself.
Never again - 2 blown head gaskets
I will never again buy a Chrysler. At 50,000 miles the car blew a head gasket. This weekend it blew a second at only 71000 miles. I am going out now to buy a new car, and I guarantee it won't be a Chrysler. By the way, it also has an unreliable gas guage, guzzles fuel, and the air never works long. Two months ago, I replaced the bad front rack ($700). Also steers to the right even though the alignment is correct. Replaced both front tie rods. Other problems in the front as well that I hadn't fixed yet.
