I am not defending that car.

Not good practice to use a loaner or rental as a reference. People drive those like they are trying to break them. And dealers will use a shitbox as a loaner because it is a shitbox

This was an unofficial loaner that was for sale as a used car by the dealer…so they were actively trying to sell it.

Like i said im not defending that car, was meant to be general advice.

I work for an autoparts company processing returned parts. Im the guy that inspects and rejects (if thats even worth noting).

If they were willing to use it at all as a loaner, it was probably a problematic vehicle. Even the highest quality vehicle will have some units that someone didnt put together well. Dodge is not a top quality builder to start.

But that all aside im very happy to hear you wont be buying one anytime soon
