Relyability

Hey, im just wondering how relyable dodges are.

From what i know, the newer ones are being put together cheaply, and tend to not do so well as far as relyability.

am i wrong?

They certainly don't make them like they used to.

They were making vehicles so good that some dealerships never saw the vehicles they sold again, and found they couldn't make any money other than from selling vehicles. So the companies started making them with faulty design, and out of poor quality materials; designed to break so that you couldn't fix it yourself and had to bring it back.

Every company has it's ups and downs. Chrysler hasn't been able to make an automatic transmission in the last 20 years in my opinion. Chevies rust, and Fords are Fords. I think that as long as you can find a brand you like, and be able to stick with it, you're good to go.

how old is older?

Somewhere in the eighties. I think '87 was the first year for fuel injection and that's when things started to get weird.

My dad bought a Ram Royal SE brand new in 1986 with a 318. As far as I know, that truck hasn't ever had to be looked at by a mechanic. All it's ever needed is maintenance. I don't think you can kill those trucks, or those engines...

sweet, thanks for hte info

All I can tell you is that my Family has owned nothing but Chrysler products, new and old, and we've never had problems that weren't driver realted.

On a side note, Chevy invented planned obsolecence in the 70s, not Chrysler.
