58 posts and 57 of them are anti Dodge. Why the heck did you buy one. To find a reason to complain??? And all of this in just a few short months of ownership. No doubt you have a wealth of experience with Dodges to base your critiques on. Not!
The reality is your own statements have pretty much sized up your whole anti experience. If you read the comments they send you in circles.
First when you first drove your "new" car (with 40 miles already on the clock) it immediately had a clutch smell and was slipping.
That sounds like the first 40 miles was the cause. Before you owned it. How can you say how it was driven during those miles (probably by a joyriding, clutch riding saleman).
Next you had encountered poor power but you replaced the clutch first, even though the check engine light was illuminated. Even though a quick read of the warranty indicates the clutch would only be covered if it had a manufacturers defect (course one was not found). Then you replace the clutch with an aftermarket because ONE person indicated it was inferior.
Then you finally had the catalyst and an O2 sensor replaced (I believe if I followed your posts correctly). So an O2 sensor caused the catalyst to clog. All the while the check engine light was off (because you would have had it serviced immediately if the light was on right?). Geez how much excess fuel has to go through before causing a clogged catalyst? Hmm, doubtful fuel would cause it unless it overtemped the catalyst. If that happened there should have been an inordinant decrease in fuel economy and excessive heat from the sill region, along with the check engine light, reduced performance, and possibly some nice black smoke.
So lemon yes. But the owner is the lemon, with honorary mention to the mechanic who replaced the clutch with a check engine light for the O2 sensor lit.
