Detailed Review:
Looks great from the outside. But the internal parts of the vehicle needs a tremendous amount quality updating. We have had trouble from the 2 month we owned it. From 3 of the door panels coming unglued, 3 times for check engine light coming on, 1 for emmissions problems, taillight failure that the dealer couldn't figure out, The leather seats began to split, an evaporator coil, rear wiper motor, and yes now with regular maintenance and 2 years the 5.2 L engine blew, with 4000 miles out of warranty. Daimler-Chrysler says too bad, 'out of warranty'. Thanks for a 33,000 2 year throw away, and now $5000.00 on a vehicle that isn't mine. It's a lease. My wonderful state of MICHIGAN, the motor capital of the world, lemon law doesn't cover leases. What a hunk of junk. The service bullitens state oil pressure gauge problems, but we are told that this gauge wouldn't tell us if the pick up tube was plugged or not enough oil in the crank shaft. The bearings ceased and actually have grooves in them. showed full of oil and no warnings, bells, whistles to let us now it was blowing up. This is not a stupid car it knows when my door is ajar, wiper fluid low, but when the majof part of the car is in trouble no warnings. Design flaw?
