Rear differential and axle seals are prone to repeated leaks.
Odor from HVAC vents
Some vehicles may develop a musty odor coming from the HVAC system, Dodge has issued a cleaner/disinfectant and a coating for the evaporator designed to inhibit bacterial growth.
Fulid Leak from Electrical Connector on Automatic
