I bought the car brand new and now have 21000 miles on it. Worst car I ever owned. Has been in the shop multiple times for the hvac system not working properly. Now the ride has gotten worse. It feels like the rear struts went bad. The 4 cylinder engine is okay on power but not something to brag about and I dont get anywhere near the estimated mpg as the sticker says. Also had problems with the speedometer and transmission intermittently not working properly. The trade in value of this car is low. For the age of the car I expected more. With this car it truly is buyer be ware.

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.

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.
