EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
THE AIR CONDITIONER SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAILED EVAPORATOR COIL. I QUESTIONED HOW AN EVAPORATOR COIL COULD FAIL, SINCE IN MY EXPERIENCE HAVING OWNED MORE THAN 80 VEHICLES I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF AN EVAPORATOR COIL JUST FAILING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE MATERIALS USED TO MANUFACTURE THE EVAPORATOR COIL ARE SUBJECT TO CORROSION AND RAPID FAILURE WHEN THE SYSTEM IS CHARGED WITH R-134 REFRIGERANT. THOSE SYSTEMS THAT FAILED PRIOR TO REACHING 70,000 MILES WERE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE BY THE MANUFACTURER, BUT NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO NOTIFY CUSTOMERS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPONENTS UNLESS THE SYSTEM ACTUALLY FAILED. THOSE OF US WHO HAD THESE FAILURES OCCUR AFTER THE 70,000 MILE CUTOFF ARE FACED WITH APPROXIMATELY $1,000 IN REPAIR COSTS. THE REALLY TERRIBLE PART ABOUT THIS IS THAT THE DEALER INFORMED ME THE SYSTEM WILL PROBABLY FAIL AGAIN WITHIN 2 YEARS AND THERE IS NO BETTER COMPONENT AVAILABLE TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM UNIQUE TO CHRYSLER, RATHER ALL MANUFACTURERS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AFTER SWITCHING TO THE NEW REFRIGERANTS. IT APPEARS THAT THE CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN DUPED AGAIN.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE HELENA CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP MADE ALL REPAIRS TO THE FUEL RAIL. THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK FROM THE FUEL RAIL--THE FUEL RAIL WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS "O" RINGS AND GASKETS. I DID CONTACT THE CHRYSLER CORP. HOWEVER THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP ME AND REFUSED TO COMMENT ON THE EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. AND AT THE TIME OF THE PHONE CALL APRIL, 1998 I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THE SAME 'O' RINGS AND GASKETS REPLACED BECAUSE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS FAILED. I CALLED TO FIND OUT IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY RECALLS FOR MY CAR AND IF ANY WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUEL RAIL. AT THAT TIME THERE WASN'T A RECALL. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE AND IF I CAN BE REFUNDED ANY MONEY FOR REPAIRS THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!
