Example complaints
Suspension: “Rear upper strut mounts degraded due to oxidation and corrosion. This degradation causes the mounts to weaken and eventually to break, allowing the struts to detach at the top. The strut mounts must be replaced to correct the issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10342130, filed 2010-07, 91,377 milesEngine cooling: “My car displays the low oil pressure light when idle. There is now the presence of coolant in my oil and white smoke coming from under my hood and from the exhaust. With all the complaints posted and documented about the Chrysler/dodge 2.7l engine, I am unable to afford incurring a mechanic bill just to find out I need a new engine. The white smoke and coolant/oil mix happened on new years day and I have ceased driving the car for fear of seizing the engine.”
