it has to be a casting issue....i work for a chrysler dealer and i've never seen that happen without wicked impact marks...take it to the dealer you bought it from and if that doesn't work call chrysler canada and make them prove that you were in the wrong...you would think that with how slow it has been here in alberta any dealer would be begging for work even warranty....good luck man
