Scary to drive! Be afraid!
never buy a dodge again
driven under 4000 a year and tranny went after 2600 miles (lucky it was covered under warranty) air conditioner went bad every year for 4 years (documented by dealer themselves, again,lucky for warranty) because of extended waranty they finally fixed it and they admitted they still weren't sure how. paint chipping since day 1.MY WIFE LIKED THE WAY IT LOOKED AND WE BOUGHT IT. ONE OF THE WORST MISTAKES I EVER MADE, STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY I LISTENED TO HER.
Great car except for transmission
Bought car new for my wife's 25th aniversary. Loaded, really a nice car, right up to when the transmission came unglued at just under 55K. Dodge wouldn't touch it as the warrenty had expired. Dealer said it would cost about $3K to fix and take 4-6 weeks. Too many plastic parts (to save weight?) Basically, I traded it in on a new Ford for what I still owed on it.
So far, so good
Bought this car off a mechanic's lot with 96,000 mi. for $1,900. After owning it for two weeks, the "anti-theft system" (which in this case causes the steering wheel to lock up unless the [proper] key is inserted into the ignition) went ahead and locked up the steering wheel even though I was indeed trying to start the car with it's own key. Had to take the car back to the mechanic, who removed the "anti-theft system" for about $300. My faith being shaken, I began to prepare for the worst, but (so far) the car has given me no problems since. I find acceleration with the 3.3 to be sluggish, although the car does handle well for its size.
It just won't die!
I bought this in 2000 with just over 100K on it. Only external flaws were light hail damage and faded paint where a cell phone antenna used to be. Eventually, the faded spot spread from the elements, but no lower body rust at all. Living in Minnesota with the ice and salt on roads in winter, it's held up well. I've put mostly short trips on it, and it always starts and runs, except once. Battery was old and died. Only had that replaced, one water pump and one starter in 9 years. Tires of course. For having been over 100K when I bought it, 9 years of driving and only put that much into it is great! Idle is rough sometimes now, so may need to have it looked at, but can't complain.
