#540691September 9, 1998
EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
THIS CAR HAS BEEN A MECHANICAL NIGHTMARE! CHRYSLER HAS HAD NO INTEREST IN WORKING WITH ME TO REPAIR THE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. CHRYSLER DEALERS ARE SHADY AT BEST IN RESPECT TO HONEST REPAIRS. I CAN'T EVEN GET THE NAME OF A CHRYSLER REP FROM THE LOCAL DEALER (BECK CHRYSLER IN PALATKA, FL) TO OVERSEE CURRENT REPAIR WORK. A/C HAS BROKEN DOWN EVERY YEAR SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. ALTHOUGH THERE IS AN AIRBAG RECALL, CHRYSLER HAS NOT SENT NOTIFICATION, HELP!
