I bought this car brand new! Always kept it perfectly maintained. Driving home out of the city accelerating onto the highway - my engine shuts down!!! Thankfully I had 3 other people with me to help guide us to the breakdown lane at a coasting 20 mph speed with cars flying past us on both sides. Car almost killed us!!! Have it towed, taxi home. Chrysler tells me it's one of 3 problems: Timing Chain, Water Pump or Blown Engine but it'll cost me $700 just to FIND the problem. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!! Of course my warranty ran out. Needless to say I prefer a new car than to dump another defective engine that'll cost me thousands of dollars into this load. The Chrysler service guy told me I was making the right decision not to have it fixed...I started having problems with that car 6 mos after buying it and all I ever got from Chrysler was 'normal wear n tear' response. A normal engine that is properly maintained does not blow at 83,000 miles.
