-Factory antifreeze hoses that were not clamped down properly
-Millions of CELs
-fuel filler capless system doesn't work with automotive nozzles
-door pannels that rattle and are not screwed into doors
-crappy Chrysler dealers that won't honor warranty work / do shoddy work
-every launch of a new model (2013 Ram HD, Ecodiesel GC, Ecodiesel 1500) is severly delayed with no explanation
-Parts shortages of their Asin tranny b/c people don't want to buy the Chrysler tranny
-Order books that open / close randomly for different parts shortages
-Tranny shift problems
-Fuel filters / oil filters that require fender liner disassembly to change
-Millions of more CELs
