I was driving to work on 09/19/08 coming down a hill, i pressed my brakes to stop and the truck kept rolling. i pumped and pumped until i came to a stop. i had someone look at it before i took it to the shop and my steering column box was rubbing against my brake hose and put a hole in it. i have a warranty on my truck but it has been in the shop 4 times already for oxygen sensor, serpentine belts, loose bolts under the body and now my brakes. everytime i take it in they tell me my warranty doesn't cover what's wrong with it. so i take it to the shop and the call me saturday morning and tells me that my warranty doesn't cover and it's going to cost $600.00 to fix it. i drove over to the dealership and told them that they could have it back because i haven't had it for a year and have had too many costly problems. so guess what they are paying for it to get fixed. *tr
Not even making my first payment yet, my car has seen the shop several times and still not fixed. my brake line was "cross treaded" in the assembly line. there for i had very little brake fluid left (only 2 weeks after buying the car) and the fluid leaked on my rim which now has to be replaced but is on back order till "whenever". i was with out my new car for over a week for this problem. then i have to get the bumper replaced due to fading which the service dept says has happened to several durango's and pt cruisers. this will be a 2-3 day process once chrysler figures out how they are going to repair since they have stopped replacing. (this will be more time with out my new car.) then it was in the shop because the radiator cap was not put on correctly during assembly and it loosened. all the coolent leaked and caused the car to overheat. last but not least the air bag light came on and they said that they have to replace the impact sensor switch...which you guessed it... is on backorder. this might or might not be the problem but they can't go any further until this is changed out. so once again i will be with out my car. i have talked to another service department and they warned me that i shouldn't be driving this car because with out the impact sensor switch, the airbags won't deploy on imact. this car has been too much trouble and not worth the hassle.this is my first dodge and i would never recommend buying one. i understand that sometimes there are just bad apples in the bunch, but chrysler and the dealership hasn't made efforts to fix problems. i just get the typical run around.
