SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2013 THE FRONT END MAKES A LOT OF POPPING CREAKING NOISES IN THE FRONT END (NOT THE ENGINE). THE LOCAL DODGE CHRYSLER DEALER IN NAPLES FL. COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT. MY LOCAL MECHANIC, WHOM I TRUSTED FOR 18 YEARS FOUND THAT THE WHEEL BEARING INT HE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IS FAULTY AND THIS AFFECTS THE BRAKES TOO. HE REPLACED THE FRONT BEARING (INNER AND OUTER BEARINGS, CUPS, AND REPACK). HE REMOVED AND REPLACED BOTH FRONT END WHEEL SPEED ABS SENSORS. MY COST APPROX $500. *TR

AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER DAMAGED BY PROJECTILE THROUGH THE FRONT BUMPER. MY AC STOPPED BLOWING COOL SUDDENLY, WHILE ON VACATION. I HAD IT RECHARGED A FEW WEEKS EARLIER AND THINGS WERE FINE. A MASTER MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE CONDENSER WAS PIERCED BY AN OBJECT LIKE A ROCK, WHICH FLEW THROUGH THE UNGRILLED HOLES IN THE FRONT BUMPER. HE SAID CHRYSLER DESIGNED THE AC CONDENSER TO FIT BEHIND AND BELOW THE RADIATOR AND DID NOT DESIGN A GRILL TO PROTECT IT. HE MADE FUN OF ITALIANS (FIAT) WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ENGINEER CARS. MY COST TO REPLACE THE CONDENSER AND REFILL THE COOLANT WAS $716. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER. *TR
