Passenger side door on the bottom is real thin and is rusting out. It crumbles when you touch it. We had a body man that works on vehicles take a look out it. He stated it would be very difficult if possible to fix it without replacing the whole door. We have had other customers with the same problem on these vehicles.

Rpms are racing down and up, and sometimes get stuck in up position. When shifting gears, a clanking noise occurs. Also, when starting up vehicle it will shake. Consumer was told these problems are due to faulty computer and Chrysler will not have a remedy for about 2-3 months. There was noise from rear end when shifting gear. The driver side door was hard to close. The engine had rough idle.
