Idk if it's possible for a problem to fix itself but I wasn't having to put oil in it anymore. I've had to replace the small plug that drains the coolant below the car. It had broken the day before I moved to college And no one noticed it till we were on the interstate... The issue was caused when a O ring had busted. Simple fix, just used a Chrysler plug and never had the issue again. A year later had to replace the thermostat. It had went out randomly, but didn't affect anything really except for gas consumption. It had an evap leak, but all cars get that unless they're sheltered in a garage. And at 220k miles all I needed to do was replace the struts and wheel bearings. Honestly I miss it, I wish I had been paying attention the day I wrecked it and had not been taking it for granted before then
