What owners wrote
We bought the vehicle brand new at bill luke in phoenix arizona, after getting the vehicle home we noticed the underneath of the vehicle is rusted and the paint is flaking off. We meet with the district manager of chrysler and she stated rust is normal on brand new vehicle, they took off a couple of parts, cleaned them up and painted, we asked about all the other parts, engine block, suspension parts, oil pan, outer wheel bearing covers and they let us know they are not going to do anything.
Fog light housing bracket is worn down, causing fog light to move around/bounce light beam while driving. Causing distraction to other drivers. Front suspension (air leveling suspension) bottoms out to bump stops while driving.
