i don't know about common... a few guys might have had those issues but common seems a bit drastic for what might account for .1% of vehicles.
those guys are pretty trolly, so don't lump me in there with them, but i do think chrysler's rep is worse than their cars are currently. don't get me wrong, they have made some crap in the past, but every car they make now, i can give you a reason to buy it. doesn't mean it will make you rush out and pick one up, but they all are valid purchases for the right customers.
1500, cherokee, grand cherokee, 300, charger, journey, grand caravan, wrangler, durango... all good vehicles that can stand on their own with regards to reliability, style, functionality, price, etc.
patriot, compass, challenger... not very competitive in my mind.
200, avenger... as a car, not that competitive, but as a price point, very much so.
dart... solid car, needs some work on packaging and pricing to be competitive.
they are doing better now than they have in years... at least in quality of product they are putting out. hopefully it returns them some sales.
