So I just bought me a 2005 SRT-4. I got it from a very shady dealer for a shady price, and got what I paid for. Right now it's getting a transmission rebuild (to include the improved 3rd gear parts), and I already had a new clutch/throw out bearing installed.

Are there any other common problems with the SRT-4 I should be on the lookout for? I'm pretty confident that the engine and the turbo are good. Whoever had it before completely did away with the catalytic converter, so the engine light won't turn off, but I'm sure there's a way around that if it ever really starts to bother me.

Anyway, so far I love it. It's a blast to drive, and I'm really looking forward to the rebuilt tranny. Just wondering if there's any other no-brainer stuff common to SRT-4s that I should look out for.

 

i had a similar problem with shady dealer although price wasn't too shady lol...but he apparently had the stock turbo replaced by a ebay turbo and right before it got home the turbo's shaft broke in two....so the turbo is being rebuilt with quality parts at his expense lol.....but i hear that seonsors and **** are always going out

 

I have replaced two sensors in 92000 miles. Other than that a very reliable car, and I am not that nice to my cars....LOL.
