 Description of the problemI purchased this car new on july 23,2012, and almost immediately there was a loud groaning noise from the front end, also started to pull to the right. My first dealer contact was on sept 4, 2012 and worked on the brakes, and this somewhat corrected the problem for about a week. The dealer has worked on the steering and brakes a total of 8 times, replacing the brakes several times, also deglazeing and lubricating and whatever, each time it worked for a week or so. The last time , april 29, 2014, a complete brake job was done on the rear brakes, a front end alignment, and repair the front brakes. This cost me $499. 00. Mileage is 46700. They also rebuilt the engine due to head and valve failure. As of may 25, 2015 it is again making the noise and pulling hard to the right. I think chrysler should take this car back.
