    Same but don’t know replacement vehicle will be, hoping to just not need the car with remote work. Received 3 recall notices for our SUV last year: anti theft Kia boyz, trailer-hitch-wiring-spontaneous-combustion-so-park-outside-until-we-issue-a-fix-that-is-still-pending, and a catastrophic engine failure replacement class action lawsuit that we had to use the recall for as the engine suddenly seized up and they fully replaced the engine.

    I loved how they say “park away from structures” as if most people in cities have the luxury of doing that or may not even have the option to park somewhere other than an assigned or owned parking spot?

    Spent last fall wondering whether our car would be stolen or spontaneously combust first. It was measurable constant anxiety for most of the year.

    Full removed capitalism.

      Chrysler is not even recalling a lot of problems I see on their vehicles. I’ve had 3 Pacificas with loose LF axle nuts and no recalls There are other problems from their other vehicles too and no recalls. At mazda they recalled ridiculous stuff, like the corner edge of the rear door on top rubber seal was too sharp if it came loose, so we had to fill it with glue.
