....true, one would not expect these of a $35K car, but these types of problems are not at all unusual for a first year model, of any make.

To be honest, problems such as these are fairly common on exotic cars costing exponentially more. Doesn't make them right, but they happen none the less.

As pointed out, you can get yourself a new radio easily enough from the dealer. It also appears the 1st gear issue is on Chrysler's radar screen, and some folks on this board have had the problem successfully fixed, others seem to have the problem linger.

I've not seen it brought up here, and Crossfire Tech would know, I think, but Edmund's says that a TSB exists for the Windshield Fluid overfill.

I feel fortunate to not have any of the problems (radio excepted, of course) thus far, anyway.

Good luck. Get this issues sorted and I think you'll be enjoying your car quite a bit.
