Slider door locks failure-left does not lock even manually; right will not unlock except manually. A/C compressor failed - always smelled antifreeze until failure. Dodge will do nothing to help defray major cost. Wipers come on/off whenever they want especially when cold. Can put into drive/reverse w/O braking. Numerous other misc problems-brakes, transmission, front end.
