LOUD NOISE COMES FROM FRONT END WHEN A BUMP IS HIT IN THE ROAD, WE HAVE SPENT OVER $800 TRYING TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL.

WE HAD SEVERAL MECHANICS SAY IT WAS THE RACK, WE DID THAT & IT DIDN'T HELP AT ALL. I THINK IF CHRYSLER MADE A GOOD CAR, WE WOULDN'T BE INVESTING THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY IN A CAR. WE HAVE 8 PEOPLE IN OUR FAMILY THAT OWNS CHRYSLER & DODGE CARS & TRUCKS & WE HAVE ALL HAD PROBLEMS. WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE BUYING CHRYSLER PRODUCTS, BUT CAN'T SEEM TO AFFORD THE CAR PAYMENT WHEN WE ARE SPENDING MORE IN REPAIRS MONTHLY.
