“The oil cooler is plastic why when it holds oil and when it heats up that makes plastic expand then cools and makes it decompress. This is done over and over again, of coarse this will cause a major repair job. That the owner should not have to expense out of pocket because we did not design the car. Also this defect is not aware until you years into owning the vehicle. This is crazy and we need a recall. I was at Firestone getting alignment and was told i have a issuse brewing.”

NHTSA complaint #11576309, filed 2024-03

“This is the 2nd failure of the thermostat. We had the car towed to the same Chrysler dealer that fixed the first incident. We have an extended warranty that covered the first failure. This second failure is not covered due to the failed part is a mopar part and Chrysler is going to pay for everything, trouble is they have had my wife’s car for two weeks already and the part isn’t coming in until February 17, I am a 34 year retired Chrysler employee. The dealer doesn’t offer rentals, and my extended warranty people offer rentals at $35 a day and only one week. Nowhere rents cars at that price. …”
