Purchased at 140k miles Almost at 200k now Transmission replaced at 170k (I bought the extended warranty which covered brand new transmission from dodge 3700$) which was well worth it considering the warranty was 2000$ I’d advise buying used. I would never pay msrp for this vehicle. Good on gas considering it seats 7. Shakes with just a little wind at highway speeds.

NOT A FAMILY FRIENDLY VEHICLE

We have had our van for almost a year now and the longer I have it the more I dislike it!! My husband, trying to do a nice thing, bought this van for me while I was out of town. However, it is not a family friendly vehicle. There is only one place on the back row with car seat latches and they don’t sit in a convenient location. They are practically in the middle of the larger fold down seat. So are car seat properly installed using the vehicle latches takes up 2/3 of the seating space in the back row. There aren’t any other latches in the back. I wanted to try to put 3 kids in the back as we are expecting our 4th and access to the back row is nice to help the younger children who still need help with seat belts. There is no way in the world, even without latches, I will EVER be able to get 3 car seats/boosters in the back row. There is also limited leg room all around. Inorder for my husband and I to have the MINIMUM leg room for comfort my 18 month old can kick my seat. If I adjust her seat to sit further back my 5 year old behind her has no room for his legs or even to get behind her. Making getting in and out even more challenging for him. Also, with a rear facing car seat or infant carrier your knees hit the dash board in order to give the amount of space required for safety. My husband can’t drive if we put our newborn behind the driver seat because even with the middle seat slid back as far as it can go, my husband doesn’t have enough leg room to drive without hitting the car seat and causing it to adjust the baby to sit at an unsafe angle. The stow and go middle seats are also really annoying. You have to adjust the front seat forward as far as it can go in order to life the cover to stow the seat. It’s the same thing if you want to try and use that dead space for storage or hauling groceries. And the mats that come with the van must be removed every time you want to put the seat up or down. So it’s anything but convenient. There is also a long row of swing down storage compartments down the center of the van. They hang right at head level and we are always bumping our heads on them and popping them open. They are really quite pointless as they aren’t designed to hold much more than a pair of sunglasses or a couple diapers. They are just in the way. The Bluetooth wireless calling is also flawed. I can tell it to “call mom” and it will ask if I was to call “David Daniels”. How do those even sound close to the same? From our experience so far, the van does it’s job as far a running smoothly and being reliable, but as far as functionality and comfort goes for a family with more than 2 kids, it’s horrid. If we are having this many leg room issues with just children sitting in the back, I can’t imagine what it would be like with teens or adults!

Great cargo space and versatility for a reasonable price. Best vehicle I've ever owned. On the downside after a recent flat tire I discovered that this vehicle has no spare tire. I was forced to get towed. Attempts to buy a "donut spare" from a local Chrysler failed. I was told spare tires are no longer available. I tried Ebay but wound up with two tires that did not fit. Waisted $ 300. Bad move Chrysler!!

This is a very sad review because I've done plenty of nighttime driving before never had an incident until last night. I've noticed when I got the van that the headlights were too dim, well what happened last night confirmed it as I was driving a small distance destination going the speed limit on a city highway and hit a woman predestrian going 35 to 40 mph! The street lights in this section of the highway were almost non existent and I didn't see this poor woman until I was right on top of her by then it was too late! I am 99% sure she died leaving behind a daughter and brother to take care of her now!!! This was in Orlando FL on Oak Ridge Rd. It seems like the headlights that are on this van are there for simple legal purposes because they serve no other purpose!!! Dodge!!! Please please please change those headlights!!!

On my trip to Maui I rented this van to drive to see if I would buy one in the future. The handling and acceleration was decent for the van with 4 kids. It was my second day and was still driving it around and enjoying my vacation. Was not aware of all the functions on the key controls. Just lock and unlock. I must have accidentally hit the open truck key and was not aware of it beenopen. There was no beeping sound or flashing alert on the dash like my Toyota van. I drove the car out of the car port and the trunk window got shattered because it was to high. I believe this to be a design default. My lost
