I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH THE INTENT ON HAVING LAST THROUGH THE PAY-OFF. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING. AT 30,000 MILE THE AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM WENT OUT COMPLETELY AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT 50,000 THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. A TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT A DODGE DEALER BUT I WAS ONLY GIVEN 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. AT 70,000 MILES THE FRONT-END STRUTS, STRUT PLATES, INNER TIE RODS, AND OTHER WAS REPLACE. THIS FRONT END IS STILL NOT RIGHT AS IT DRIFTS AND HAS TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE STEERING. MANY OTHERS WITH THE EXACT SAME REPAIRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
