UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
ORIGINAL FAILURE TOOK PLACE ON NOV 26, 1997. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND OIL PRESSURE DROPPPED TO ZERO. THE OIL PUMP WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THEN, ON JAN 21, 1999 THE SAME SCENARIO HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME THE OIL PUMP, CONNECTING ROD,CRANKSHAFT AND GASKETS WERE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE AS THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY NOR WERE THE PARTS THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED. FINALLY, ON FEBRUARY 14, 2000 THE ENTIRE SCENARIO TOOK PLACE AGAIN. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO ZERO. IT APPEARS THAT THE OIL PUMP WILL AGIN NEED TO BE REPLACED. AT THIS POINT, THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO SAY IT IS A LACK OF MAINTENANCE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AND THAT AFTER 3 FAILURES THERE IS A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED DEALERSHIP AWAITING REPAIRS AND THE RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER CORP AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL DO SO AT THEIR EXPENSE. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY A
