Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep owners are also screwed says The New York Times in Chrysler Owners Sound Off on a Power Defect . It’s called a “Totally Integrated Power Module” and the vehicle’s power completely shuts down without warning. Good times.

USA Today reports a Shock(ing) defect leads to Jeep, Ram, Chrysler recall and here’s a no brainer from High Gear Media which lists 5 car brands customers don’t buy twice. That would be Scion, Jaguar, Dodge, Chrysler, and Mitsubishi. Well, duh.
