Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Brake rotors had to be re-finished after only 8000 miles. i question the quality of materials chrysler is using. steering wheel rubbing: steering column would make a rubbing noise every time it was turned. did this even on the initial test drive new off the lot. they said it was a simple lubrication issue. 2 weeks later, the noise was back. i brought it in a total of 6 times before the problem was finally resolved, apparently with some new super slick polymer and only after i personally called the factory to get advice. other issues: driver's seat creaks like an old tractor. they couldn't fix it. i had the problem with the gauges on my dash going off. they knew what that was and dixed it. exhaust manifold went after only 12,000 miles (more substandard parts used by chrysler). this is why i hesitate to buy american.
