1. Seatbelts, housing repeatedly fell down. Never replaced, service only pulled it back up and the problem continues 2. All four window regulators replaced prior to recall. Now I have one window that will go down. The rest are stuck in the up posiiton. Of course, my warranty is up. 3. Rear differential went out at 63,000. 3,000 past warranty. 4. All four ball joints are bad. Serviceman says unsafe to drive until replaced. Still waiting on a recall. 5. Passenger front seat cover came apart at seams. Service said not covered by warranty. 6. Hood latch does not release hood. My vehicle is now parked and not being driven at 80,000. I do not have and will never have another Chrysler product in my drive. I bought this vehicle new and took very good care of it. It seems to be falling apart around me. Seems I have heard stories about the ball joints, wheels coming off, etc. No one killed yet, but no recall yet either I see.
