EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
A/C HEATER PROBLEMS SINCE CAR WAS NEW, CONTROL HEAD REPLACED THREE TIMES. ENTIRE A/C SYSTEM REPLACED BY REPUTABLE INDEPENDANT AUTO/TRUCK A/C COMPANY @ 60K MILES. THIS INDEPENDANT COMPANY INDICATES THAT IT'S WIDELY KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY THAT CHRYSLER A/C SYSTEMS ARE EXPECTED TO FAIL @ 60K MILES, AND WE CAN REASONABLY EXPECT NEWLY INSTALLED SYSTEM TO PERFORM FOR 60K MILES. WE'VE SPENT OVER $2000 ON THE A/C, LAST MONTH REPLACED WITH CONTROL HEAD #3 @ CHRYSLER DEALER $300.00, STILL NOT WORKING RIGHT... CLEAR THAT CHRYSLER REALLY HAS NO CLUE... SYSTEM IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. PROBLEM VERY WIDESPREAD, ASK ANYONE. MOST FOLKS JUST GIVE UP, JUNK OR TRADE. *AK

WAS DRIVING NORTH ON MI 31 BYPASS HEADING FOR SCHROEDER MOTORS TO PICK UP MY DODGE RAM PICK-UP TRUCK THAT WAS IN FOR SERVICE. TURNED ONTO NAPIER RD GOING WEST AND HEARD A CLAPPING SOUND LIKE A BASEBALL CARD IN THE SPOKES OF A BIKE. I THOUGHT A PIECE OF PAPER GOT INTO THE FAN BLADE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT CAME ON. JUST AS I PULLED INTO SCHROEDER MOTOR MALL THE CAR DIED AND THAT WAS THE END. IT ROLLED TO A STOP RIGHT INTO A PARKING SPOT. I HAD THERE MECHANICS LOOK INTO IT AND HE HAD TOLD ME THAT THE WATER PUMP LOOKED LIKE IT FAILED AND CAUSED THE TIMING CHAIN TO SLIP RESULTING INTO WARPED VALVES. I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE ENGINE FOR ABOUT $6700.00. THEY WERE GOING TO ALLOW ME $1000.00 FOR MY TROUBLES OFF OF THE BILL. MECHANIC PUT ALL OF THE PARTS IN MY TRUNK AND I HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME WHERE IT WILL SET UNTIL I GET SOME ANSWERS. *JB
