This vehicle was purchased used. 2 weeks after purchase the rear brake bads failed causing them to grind on the rotors. Brakes and rotors were replaced. Drivers side seat support is broken. Power steering pump has a leak. Transmission clutches burned out requiring replacement. Water pump failed along with failing timing belt & timing belt tensioner causing needed replacement. Engine has several oil leaks. Rack & pinion system is shifting, causing a thumping sound and vehicle shifting while cornering at times. Selt belt on drivers side doesn't retract properly. Brakes perform poorly, requiring excessive pedal to stop vehicle. Fuel rail is leaking fuel, awaiting mechanic determination if it's covered under the recall.
While the consumer was standing by the vehicle it suddenly began to roll forward. Consumer ran behind the vehicle, grabbed the door and was dragged a few feet, injuring his knees, before he was able to open the door and slam the gear into park. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, where he was told he had stripped a gear. However, there was a recall for the shift interlock. Consumer felt that since the recall caused him to strip the gear when the vehicle rolled, should be part of the repair made to the vehicle, along with the shift interlock NHTSA recall 04V021000.

I experienced a loud clunking sound when I turned the steering wheel. Also when I drove over uneven pavement or an uneven entry to a driveway I could hear the same sound and could feel it through the steering wheel. I had a dealership check it out and they found that there was a bolt that had worked itself loose on the lower control arm. I have found information on the internet related to steering failures leading to death on several vehicles with the same steering components that my car has. Fortunately I caught this early enough to prevent a disasterous even like other people have experienced. They tightened the bolt. I understant that Chrysler corporation has changed the torque specifications and the bushing used on the tie-rod ends in order to prevent the type of failures that many people have experienced. …
