While driving to work the engine started making a clunking noise I stopped and checked under the hood the oil was very low it was not ready for an oil change yet and no lights came on I parked it and called to have it towed, the dealer says it is not covered under the factory warranty because it does not transfer from the original owner I bought it used, there is absolutely no reason for this to happen on a newer lower mileage car and to not have Chrysler stand behind it is unheard of. I have completed all required maintenance on a timely basis.

As I was driving home from work and turning into my neighborhood I noticed smoke coming from the back of my car as I looked in the rearview mirror. There were no warning lights on other than my gas light which had just come on about a mile before. I pulled into my parking space and the car immediately began smoking from the underneath the hood, enough to alert all of the neighbors who came out thinking a house was on fire. I saw flames coming from the hood on the passenger side as I was exiting the car. About a minute after I got out of the car, there was a loud explosion from underneath the hood, and the car started to kick out more smoke than before. My neighbor came over to open the hood after a few minutes. There were no more flames, but the heat shield metal had melted from the heat, as did parts of my engine, the engine cover, hoses, and metal connections. (unsure of the true mechanical lingo). The incident was reported to my insurance company as a loss.

When I bought my car in 2009. I noticed that my brakes squeaked when I stop I took it back to the dealership, I was told that nothing was wrong. Keep complaining all the time, then the vibration started and I needed rotors and brakes. The aftermarket brakes doesn't fit had to replace them with the dealership brakes. Had to replace a two tire sensors. Had to have my rotors resurfaced will need new rotors. Recently the engine coolant overheating light came on. The fan stop working its electrical the mechanic can't figure out why it stop. My car sometimes doesn't start, took it to a mechanic. No reason why. When my air is on it takes the car longer to gain speed on the highway. I contacted the dealership where I purchased it and Dodge. Both were rude and didn't offer any help. I purchased the extended warranty and it didn't cover anything.
