UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE
ON JULY 3,2003 I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND TOLD THEM IT WAS LEAKING. THE CAR LEAKS AT ALL DOORS AND IN THE TRUNK. ALSO THE TRIM AROUND THE HEADLIGHTS IS COMING OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WOULD BE A CHARGE OF $134.49 FOR THE HEADLIGHT TRIM REPAIR AND $201.17 FOR THE NEW DOOR GASKETS. THE TRUNK I WAS NOT GIVEN AN ESTIMATE ON BECAUSE THEY SAID THE WATER DOCTOR WOULD NEED TO REPAIR THAT. I TOLD THEM THAT I FELT THAT THE CAR WAS DEFECTIVE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS. I WAS CALLED BACK A WEEK LATER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD PAY 1/3 OF THE COST OF THE REPAIR, THE SERVICE DEPT. WOULD PAY 1/3 OF THE COST AND I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY THE REMAINING 1/3. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS ARRANGMENT AS I KNOW THIS A DEFECT IN THE CAR.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
CONSUMER WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH HEADLIGHTS. AS LONG AS HE WAS DRIVING IN DAY LIGHT EVERYTHING WAS FINE. BUT, WHEN HE WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT HE COULD NOT SEE. THE LOW BEAM GAVE HIM AN APPROXIMATE DISTANCE OF 75 FEET IN FRONT. CONSUMER COMPLAINED TO DEALER, BUT WAS TOLD BY DEALER THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE BECAUSE THAT WAS THE WAY THE LIGHTENING SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED. ALSO, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT EVEN IF HE HAD THE HEADLIGHTS CHANGED IT WOULD NOT BE ANY DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE TYPE OF BEAMS THAT FITTED THIS VEHICLE WERE ALL THE SAME, AND THEY COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED. CONSUMER WAS AFRAID THAT HE COULD BE IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT WAS HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT. *AK *SC

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, EQUIPMENT
I HAD BOUGHT A 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORDE IN 2001. THE CAR HAD BEEN ACTING FUNNY. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON DURING STOPS, THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP WITHOUT MY PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE WAS KNOCKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC & PAID FOR REPAIRS THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEN, SOON AFTER I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP REPAIR SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED THE CAMSENSOR. IT SEEMED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. ABOUT 6 WEEKS LATER ALL OF THE PROBLEMS RETURNED. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE EXCEPT WHEN I DROVE IT BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. THEY REPLACED THE CAMSENSOR AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY, MY ENGINE FROZE AND NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THEREFORE, NIETHER CHRYSLER NOR THE DEALERSHIP WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY LOSS.
