this CRYsler has been a nightmare in the front end (everything that could happen in the front end has happened) since it was brand new in 00'.big beef were the electronic door locks striping,replaced all of them once during warranty,now on 5 th one.this was definitely was a defect that CRYsler fk'd everybody on!!!! also could not keep tires on the front end,had 2 rotate every 3000 miles w/ oil change to keep them from wearing out way before there time, oh by the way 17 in tires 140.00 each Goodyear high end tires became very costly.

stupid battery location under rite side wheel well was an other nightmare; replaced battery 3 times cause of debris, salt,water,dirt,mud.aslo try 2 change rite side head lite. mechanic told me it took them 2 hrs 2 take sh*t off and couldn't get a hand in 2 unscrew bulb.

rust on front hood is very common i'v seen many rusted in same spot (front hood lip).the only thing i have not replaced is the muffler amazin!!! i understand the car is 9 yrs old, but i took very good care of the car 1st 5 yrs no winters!!!
