Sure: The first 500 I test drove when they first came out literally scattered its transaxle all over the pavement with less than 50 miles on the car. The second one also was pretty pathetic.
I’ve been forced to rent 500s off and on since then, and they have about a 30% chance of having something wrong with the transaxle.
Thanks.... I think. ;-)
I searched online and there is a service bulletin for the 500 for the years up to and including 2006. I hope they fixed the problem for the 2007 model, but it’s good to be aware of a potential problem.
