Think twice!

Car drives nice. Good ride. Repairs for electrical/electronic functions are expensive (like heat control). Milage was good for size of vehicle. The high expense for seemingly minor repairs (like window control) is the reason for the low rating.

Multiple issues, the TPS, ABS, Injectors, Clockspring, Wiper Motor, Radio Antenna, Leather Stitching, Multiple Interior Lights all had issues. Everything was fixed then the ABS started acting up and the Tuning Manifold Actuator still were broken. Then the Transmission when out. This is my second Chrysler product. I told myself after the Concorde, I wouldn't buy another. Now, I promise never another. Its an endless money pit. Don't buy a Chrylser, Dodge or Jeep. They are P.O.S. I'd rather own a Yugo. At least with the Yugo, you knew what you were purchasing and the price reflected it.

Mine was in the shop over 25 times in 2 years. Chrysler techs never did find out what was wrong electrically. After 2yrs and 12k worth of unneeded parts the dealer paid off my loan.

So Far- It works

Bought this car with 19,000 miles on it. I've put 20,000 more in the 7 months that i've owned it. Chrysler vehicles are always a great deal,if purchased used. The front brakes were replaced at 19,000, when the first owner traded the car in. I replaced the rears(??) at 38,000 miles. While this is too soon, the Mercedes- type pads are very dusty and wear quickly. Hopefully, the bendix pads will last longer. They aren't nearly as dusty. The Kumho tires were replaced at 38,000. This is the only company that makes the (OEM) 19in. size. They were $270-$320 at tire stores and were purchased for $186 at Tirerack.This car runs great. Gets over 20mpg avg. I drive it like i stole it and it's great
