    I hydroplained off the road, and hit a telephone pole at about 60 mph. I smashed the driver side fender into the motor, and broke the frame. Also, i broke both seats in the front back.the dodge investigator totaled it . I asked dodge what the were going to do, they said that i had to hit the pole directly in the front. I guess the front fender isn't front enough, or breaking the frame in the front isn't enough. The…

There are hundreds of complaints in dozens of forums about this…
