Pros

Fuel Economy

Cons

Idles and everything is breaking!

Purchased As New

My husband and I bought a new 2012. The heater keeps breaking. I know it sounds crazy but I am taking it to the shop for the 3rd time to get it fixed. It is driving me crazy! It was 1 degree this morning and I was freezing on my way to work :(
Also I took it because my battery died. They told me not to plug anything in to the outlets because that will drain my battery....Hello why have them in the first place!! NOTE I unplug them when the car is not running! My husband is very anal about that. Anyways I am very disappointed in this car and I have claimed a lemon law. :( I just expected not to take a car to the shop with only 12,000 miles!

It also idles pretty bad which I find strange in a new car but I don't know much about cars...I do know that I also have a 2006 Chevrolet Equinox and I love that thing. Never had any problems with it besides roaters.........

But if it didn't have these problems I would still love it like I used to....read morehide

Pros

looks and runs decent

Cons

gas gage,and miles to empty are wrong cant get fix, .

Purchased As New

i am very unhappy with this car. dodge says it is normal for the miles to empty gauge to vary wildly in its readout,even sitting at idle not moving! fords and chevys dont do that we put less than 2000 miles on it and had to have fuel pump assembly replaced because gas gauge was inaccurate, we ran out of gas, put 2 gal. in it, drove25 miles and ran out again. that is 12.5 mpg.the vanity mirror on pass. side sun visor was cracked when purchased,and dodge sent dealer 3 driver side visors before finally getting the right part. i will never,ever buy a damn dodge again,in fact,if they gave me a new one, iwould tell them to shove it in the scrap pile where it belongs! the shifter is also hard to move, worse in cold weather...read morehide

Pros

ride,performance, quality excellent

Cons

google maps are not current

Purchased As New

Excellent quality and quiet smooth ride. I have the rt with 8.4 screeen with nav . Easy to read and the bluetooth and voice recognition works great. I was surprised how well the navigation syncs with the two screeens when aturn is coming as well as the street view that comes up of major ramps coming . I drove it from Ont to BC already and now have 20k with no issues with the car. However the nav which is software from google maps are not upto date . That is to say they are as upto date as google has.dodge needs to pressure google to update more frequently with no cost updates....read morehide

Pros

Sporty handling and acceleration

Cons

Leather package seats a bit firm on the longer rides

Purchased As New

I purchased this vehicle in June 2012. I already have 13K miles on it. I have the crew package w/the euro style wheeles, leather, the works. The family loves it w/the TV's and all and has a fair amount of cargo space w/the third row seats down. I've gotten tons of complements from complete strangers on it. Those who are displeased witht this vehicle I would say did not do thier research prior to purchase....read morehide

Pros

Ample room, Handling comfort

Cons

could use better tires

Purchased As New

I am very surprised and very pleased with the overall quality and performance of this car. Very good handling, and the four banger has plenty of pep. I drive 80 miles a day, mostly freeway and have no problems keeping up, doing quick lane changes and passing. Drove from Memphis to Detroit and back with two Great Danes in the back and everyone was cumfortable and happy. Only down side is KUHMO brand tires. They dont seem to be very durable, had to replace one and repair another in the first two months of ownership, and the dealer did not carry the tires in stock. I will definately upgrade to another tire when time to replace....read morehide

Pros

Beautiful styling, good fuel,extremely comfortable and quiet, better than a Lexus!!!

Cons

None

Purchased As New

Absolutely, the nicest car I have ever owned and I have had a few. This car is smooth, extremely quiet, powerful, solid, I can't think of enough adjectives. All of you who drive other makes need to get behind the wheel of this car and other Chrysler products, you will be very surprised at how Mopar blows the competition away. Just do it...if you don't agree with me, you can go back to whatever you drive and settle for what you have!...read morehide

Purchased As New

The crew trim package, is the best, the V6 engine give it power you need haul or pass trucks, interior, comfort ride best on the market. You can't go wrong with 2012

Pros

Comfortable ride

Cons

None

Purchased As New

Have owned this vehicle 3 months, driven 3100 miles. The ride, economy and utility value are exceptional. The V6 engine is powerful and responsive. Great value for the money. Vastly superior to the Toyota Rav 4, the Chevy Equinox or the new Ford escape.
