Like i said, this is the first vehilce i have come across in 3+ years driving as well as working on cars that did not have a fuel filter.

I don't care what Dodge says, not having a fuel filter that is easily accessed and replaced is STUPID. Show me some sort of data that claims not having one helps things? It's really no surprise anymore that the American car industry is in the toilet. I just picked up my 06' from the dealer tonight after it had the tie rod ends replaced under warranty. 35,000 miles on a 1500 that has never been taken off road or plowed needing front end work is sad to say the least. My buddy has an 05' Turbo Diesel and he has to date spent $3,200 on fron end work.

Check out my other thread about my keyless remotes. I was told by my dealer that it's "Normal" that they only work half the time.

This is the final straw for me and Chrysler.
