I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CHRYSLER THAN ANY CAR I HAVE DRIVEN. IT IS NOT YET TEN YEARS OLD, BUT I HAVE HAD BRAKE WORK DONE AT LEAST THREE TIMES TOTALING 1500.00+DOLLARS. MY AIR CONDITIONING FAILS EVERY YEAR. THE BARS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR HAVE BEGUN TO PEEL AWAY FROM THE MAIN BODY. THREE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF FROM THE INSIDE, AND I DONT EVEN USE MY REAR DOORS. THIS WILL COST ME 150.00 PER DOOR WITHOUT INCLUDING LABOR. MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP NOW BECAUSE THE MECHANIC IS CHECKING IT FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE REAR TRANS. MOUNT AND MOUNT BUSHINGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF BECAUSE IT NEEDS NEW LOWER CONTROL ARMS NOW. WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILING THIS IS 900.00 WORTH OF WORK. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET ANYTHING FROM CHRYSLER EXCEPT AN EMAILED, "I'M SORRY...THANK YOU FOR BUYING CHRYSLER" IF I EVER GET THIS CAR OUT OF THE SHOP, I WILL NOT BUY CHRYSLER AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON VARIOUS REPAIRS ON THIS CAR AND IT IS ONLY 9 YEARS OLD!

THIS 1994 CHRYSLER HAS HAD CONSTANT PROBLEMS, MOST RECENT BEING THE WINDHSIELD WIPERS FLEW UP AND STUCK WHILE ON THE FREEWAY IN THE RAIN GOING 55MPH. EXHAUST SMELLS BAD, STARTER IS BAD, AIR CONDITIONER TICKS WHEN TURNED OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS. AS A NEWLY SINGLE MOTHER OF 4 BOYS LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT THAT I CAN GET TO AND FROM RELIABLY, SO I CAN TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY MYSELF EVENTUALLY, THE LAST THING I EVER SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS A CAR THAT IS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD. ESPECIALLY SINCE CHRYSLER IS SHOWING ALL THE BEATIFUL NEW CHRYSLER PRODUCTS I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO HAVE. I LOVE MY CAR, BUT I AM MORE THAN DISAPPOINTED IN WHAT I STILL HAVE $3,000 LEFT TO PAY ON A USED CAR.
