You're looking at the car probably and thinking "Yoda, what's going on? the car looks fine? has almost 20 years on a swamp planet finally gotten to you?" Well no, the car itself was supposed to be a kind of truck and SUV mesh made by dodge, and it featured 4 wheel drive like a truck allowing it to drive across rugged terrain. So what's the problem, it looks just fine? Well the biggest problem is that it's transmission would give out, and usually at inconvenient times such as on the highway. This was obviously a problem, and it led to many crashes. It still goes down in history as probably dodges worst SUV, and hell, maybe their worst car period.

It also reeks of Chryslers products of the time. Underwhelming drive train, subpar interior quality, but overall it's you standard Dodge/Chrysler, however There were cases of it's brake lights just not working on a brand new model, the radios not working, overall unreliability, and to top it off it was legitimately dangerous like I said before. The unreliable transmission and performance led to crashes on the highway, and crashes on the highway lead to pileups which mean you don't only danger yourself, but everyone else. Thankfully in 2012 the entire line was scrapped, and nobody really misses it at all.
