NHTSA complaint #10007013, filed 2000-10, 64,490 miles“Paint is flaking off the hood and roof. Not a normal age flaking. Paint bubbles up and then flakes off. White primer is seen as paint flakes off. Dealer admitted that it was a defect, but I had waited to long to bring it in. They refused to do anything about it. I had not received any notice of recall for this problem. The other recalls on this make/model were dealt with promptly upon receiving notice.”
NHTSA complaint #10072801, filed 2004-05“Both the driver and passenger doors have broken away from the hinges. We contacted the dealer and their reply was that the wind probably blew back the doors and broke the hinges. How can this happen to both doors in exactly the same spot. We have had to replace the transmission twice, once a year after we bought the car, and another about a year or so ago.”
NHTSA complaint #748385, filed 2001-07“While closing the rear liftgate the door snapped (I heard a snapping sound) and upon further investigation, I realized that one of the bolts holding the door from the top snapped off. I can't close the rear liftgate, or keep it open all the way. I believe that this is a very dangerous situation. I don't even know what kind of mechanic can fix such a problem. The only work I had done on the door was a recall that Dodge had about the lock on the door, and that was done by an authorized dealer.”
