Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler Makeover

Too late and Fiat is not the image that consumers will see to improve quality. I drive a Chrysler 300 AWD. While a beautiful car and a feeling of sport luxurious ride, too many problems the dealer calls annoyances. More problems with brakes, rims corroding and inferior OEM tires (ContiProContacts) now in lawsuits in 45,000 miles than I have had in lifetime of GMC products. Chrysler builds nicely styled cars and makes style improvements every couple years but leaves the long term driver dissappointed with return trips to the dealer. Ford and GM have gotton serious about competition and the importance of quality. Chrysler is left to another attempt to start over. You lost me and too many others. It will be down to the Big 2 in a couple years.

Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler get makeover

I've always thought some Chrysler products had beautiful lines; others I wondered why they were even made. How many Jeep varieties are necessary? Why are Dodges made to compete with Jeep? And why are 300s so expensive? Unless Chrysler cuts the cost and the product line they won't survive.

chrysler

Wonderful news, but too late. I am looking at GM crossovers because of the style. I need something good to look at for five years while i'm paying for it. I even get the chrysler employee discount.

How can Fiat over come quality issues when there own quality perception in Europe is less than stellar. I work with a gentelman from Romania who states that if you own a fiat in europe that is at least three years old and it breaks down you just leave it by the side of the road. It's not worth fixing. I just don't see this marriage working.
