Had a 94 Dodge Spirit 4door, which I bought used in late 94 and sold in 2007 (so I could buy my recently deceased uncle’s 95 Buick Century swg with 66K actual miles). Over an approximately 2-year period it burned up about 20 oxygen sensors until it was finally determined that the power steering fluid was leaking onto the oxygen sensors, causing them to malfunction. The dealer bought most of them after the original incorrect diagnosis of a valve job, which I paid for. Never had any body issues, but it was subject to the clear-coat fiasco, and the paint looked bad, but about 8 years old when that really started. Had a head gasket oil leak which was treated with stop-leak, and disclosed when sold with 135K on the clock.
Actually, as a Chrysler product, the engine would still be running but the body would have fallen apart.

ONLY where they put salt on the roads to melt the ice! And that rusted every car dad ever had no matter who built it, until we got out of the Detroit area back in 1957, so I still have dad’s 1958 Plymouth and 1960 Chrysler, and they are both in fine condition.

when I worked for Chrysler so many years ago I was talking to an “older” employee. He said that Chrysler had started using “Forward Thrust” as a motto
aircraft-engineer:
No, it was “Forward Look”.
