You have to qualify what era of Chrysler you are talking about. I owned a new '94 Jeep Grand Cherokee and had it for almost 17 years and 235k with just regular maintenance! Now the Mercedes ownership era wasn't as bad as Fiat's present day involvement. Jeep, Ram, and the big Hemi's haven't been hurt by Fiat. The rest of the line up not so much. I wish Chrysler could just stay American and lose the European owners.

Nothing at all wrong with that engine and it was one of the most fun and reliable cars I have ever owned. I NEVER broke down and it had one issue (window regulator) in the entire time that I owned it. It was running the day I got rid of it as well with over 150k miles and not a damn thing wrong. I changed the fluids including transmission religiously and always made sure that the intake and heads were kept very clean. It is all in how you choose (or not) to maintain your vehicle.

Italian car, Alfa Romeo and Fiat are not selling cars to the USA, and so does French cars, Citroen, Peugeot, and Renault are the same thing. Dodge cars was introduced in 1914 as of mass produced cars, but in 1928, Chrysler acquired Dodge cars to form Chrysler Corporation. DeSoto and Plymouth are added in 1928 also formed Chrysler Corporation.

Chrysler is the only brand in America that doesn't have much of a loyal following if any at all. How many times have you heard, "I love Chrysler" or "Chryslers are great cars" or "I want a Chrysler"? Dodge on the other hand had the Viper, their trucks, Challenger, Charger, Durango SRT... etc and thus still have some credibility and loyalty in their name in performance and style. The 300 Hemi has been Chrysler's only worthwhile asset but people only like the model for itself, not necessarily the brand behind it.
