Vehicle review
This model is equipped with the 2.4 liter multi air engine. Recently, it became necessary to have the long block replaced because of excessive oil consumption. I was told this was caused by a defective design of the pistons and rings. The reason this problem came to light is that the vehicle stalled out when the oil level dropped to a point that caused the computer to shut down the engine as a safeguard. However, there were no warning lights. I’ve been told that there were software recalls as well on some models. This information came from FCA . The dealer service department was not able to provide any information.I also find that the cloth fabric upholstery is of poor quality. In, my opinion the fabric on the driver’s seat has worn in a short amount of time. A seat belt guide on the upper part of one of the rear seats broke rather easily.
Otherwise, the vehicle seems to be relatively reliable. I’ve had no starting or runability issues.
