I won't buy another Dodge. My heat went out had to have it fixed. Im always cold and live in a cold area so that sucked. Worst thing tho is that it stalls. I had it fixed and it lasted about 3 years and started again. Also the tranny goes out after about 8 years. I'm selling mine. I'm not willing to put more money into it.

Brakes make high pitch noise (even after having them checked for problems), the traction control is WAY too sensitive, has had three recalls since we purchased it, and the blind spots are amplified by the obnoxiously big pillars. However, the interior is comfortable, it accelerates well, and has a pretty quite ride on the inside.

We sold the car in 2017 with 62,000 miles. It was always reliable though lacking in power but it’s a 4 cylinder we bought primarily for mpg. For a car that got around 27mpg average it was a great vehicle. Comfort was there and the car itself looked very sporty.
