They are not garbage but they do fail more often than other components. Chrysler even instituted an extended A/C warranty for some minivans because the compressors failed so often.
No, I did not mean "you". It was a reference to my comment about anyone with a serpentine being parked if any belt-driven component locks up. I try not to rag on any fellow MOPAR man. I save that for the lost chevy guys.
