    I've had it inspected 3 times at different places and they all tell me there's nothing wrong with it but every time I hit a little bump in the rear the struts make a no king noise like there's loose metal clanging . It handles fine but it's not right . I've called Chrysler and they said the warrenty doesn't cover it cause there are working . I can't afford to fix that on a new car I'm makeing payments . It's morally incorrect on so many levels !
