If I am doing more than 40 miles per hour the car doesn't stop completely without sliding.

Head gasket - have had to replace two (2) head gaskets due to leaks in three years. First one cost a deductible of $500 and the second one will cost me $250, although I know that Dodge has issued tech bulletins to address installation problems. Dodge did the good will bit in both cases by supposedly splitting the cost 50/50. This is an outrage that consumers are required to pay such hefty fees for inferior/faulty designs. Brakes - apparently the design of the calipers includes a cylinder made of some type of plastic. This plastic is not able to withstand the heat of normal braking operations and will not contract properly when cooled down. Because of this the caliper sticks in an extended position which casuses the disc pad to stay in constant contact with the rotor, thus wearing down the pad prematurely and causing possible damage to the rotors. This cost me $559 the first time and since then I have simply been changing the pads earlier than necessary to prevent further damage to the rotor. Although this has not resulted in an accident, I believe it could (or has to others?) cause an accident/fatality on an extended trip.

About 3 weeks before the problem was realized, I heard a very loud whirring sound. I had taken it to feeney Dodge in palatine to have the front brakes done. They did the brakes but I don't understand why they did not notice the left wheel bearing noise. I took it to Goodyear in mt. Prospect for regular maintenance and they noticed it right away. They said that the left wheel bearing needed to be replaced. I had an amoco station I know well do the repair. Why did a car that is only 2 1/2 years old need a wheel bearing replaced" I have never had a car have this problem. Why wasn't this under the three year warranty" I contacted feeney and another dealer in the area and got told that no, that is not under the 3 year warranty. This repair should have been paid for by Chrysler not me. The part had to be defective for this to have happened.

When driving at any speed the brakes were hard, and there was a grinding noise when applying the brakes.

Transmission fails to engage drive properly on numerous occasions, dealer unable to duplicate (very intermitent) or fix problem. Front brakes noisy/groan on application (told this was normal by dealership) front breaks also squeek (simular to wear indicator) after replacement.
