Waaaaaa.....You're going to find that is the case on the majority of newer vehicles on the road these days. Maybe get your wife to work on it instead of you if you can't handle it....

I have been very pleased with my 2011 Hemi. They did have issues with cracking manifolds but other then that I don’t know of any major issues. But then again, I don’t read up to learn about problems if I am not having them. It’s been a good truck so far. Original owner. Sometimes my backup camera fails to work. Seems to be when it’s really hot outside though. 93k miles on mine.
I did hear front ends wear out. Maybe check that?
