Ever since I bought the car used I have had numerous problems. Here is just a brief list: Incorrect gas mileage both city and highway, transmission problems, brakes squeaking, air coming through bad window seals, defrost not working properly, air conditioning not working correctly, 3 oxygen sensors replaced, 2 head gaskets replaced, and water coming into the trunk which has caused the jack and tire changing equipment to rust. Also the water then leaks into the back floor which causes the car to smell. The cs for Dodge will not agree to fix the problem with the original roof design which would correct the water from coming into the trunk. For the past year, about every 2 months something is going wrong with the car which has just a little over 62,000 miles and proper maintenance has been followed.

Valve pan gasket and valve cover gasket gave out (blew) 120 miles after the manufacturers warranty ran out. Have replaced once and it has blown out again. This is not right. At this same time, the automatic transmission started making a clunk sound when shifting up or down. If a car manufacturer cannot make a car that lasts well beyond their pathetic warranty, then they should be held responsible.
