ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. OUR CAR IS IN THE SHOP MORE THAN IT IS ON THE ROAD. AND NOW THERE IS A RATTLING NOISE WHEN WE START OUR VEHICLE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THE ENGINE IS GOING. WE HAVE HAD OUR VEHICLE TOWED AT LEAST 4 TIMES NOW. WE HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 1 YEAR NOW. WE HAVE PUT 2,000 - 3,000 INTO THIS VEHICLE ALREADY AND TO TOP IT OFF WE PURCHASED THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY WHICH COVERED US FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. PURCHASE PRICE PLUS WARRANTY PLUS ALL THE PROBLEMS = $13,300.

SEATS
ON 18 SEP 2000, TOOK MY CAR DOWN TO THE DEALER UPON RECEIPT OF RECALL # 883, "DRIVERS POWER SEAT". THE DRIVER'S SEAT DOES NOT GO BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT PIVOTING SIDEWAYS WITH THE SWITCH. THE BACK OF THE SEAT UPON LEANING BACK GOES TOWARDS THE REAR. UPON TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, THEY STATED THE SEAT TRACK WAS NOT COVERED UN DER THE RECALL AND THEY WROTE THE PART UP FOR $500.00 AND LABOR $110.00. HOWEVER, THE RECALL NOTICE STATES IF THE SEAT ADJUSTER PIVOT BRACKETS AND SEAT TRACKS IS THE PROBLEM, THEN THE DEALER WILL REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE (PARTS AND LABOR). I AM VERY UPSET THAT I HAVE RECEIVED LESS THAN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND MYSELF AND FAMILY COULD BE IN DANGER WITH THE SEAT NOT BEING STABLE. DEALER NEEDS TO BE CONTACTED TO COMPLY WITH RECALL #883.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHILE DRIVING AFTER SAME COMPONENT WAS "REPAIRED" BY THE DEALER FOR A RECALLED ITEM, SAME EXACT ABS FAILURE OCCURED! SERVICE ADVISOR ASKED ME " WAS IT FIXED WHEN YOU LEFT?" WHILE DRIVING CAR IN 45 MPH ZONE OF CITY 4 LANE, ATTEMPTED TO STOP FOR LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AS A ROCK! WITH BOTH FEET ON PEDAL, WAS ABLE TO SLOW CAR ENOUGH AND PULL INTO GAS STATION. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER. AFTER FIRST "REPAIR" I COULD NOT SEE ANY REPLACED PARTS AND SERVICE TICKET READ " COMPLIED WITH RECALL NOTICE". NO WORK WAS ANNOTATED. FOUND RECEIPT FROM WHEN MOTHER-IN-LAW HAD CAR ORIGINALLY CHECKED FOR RECALL, AND NOTICED DEALER WAS ONLY REQUIRED TO TEST SYSTEM. IF IT PASSES, THEY REPLACE NOTHING. DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS REMAIN IN CAR UNTIL FAILURE. HOW MANY MUST WRECK BEFORE CHRYSLER IS MADE TO GET THESE DEATH TRAPS OFF THE ROAD! THIS WILL BE MY LAST COMPLAINT, AS I SOLD THIS CAR THE DAY IT WAS "REPAIRED" AGAIN. I WILL NEVER TRUST CHRYSLER AGAIN. THEY HAD TWO SHOTS AT KILLING MY FAMILY, AND FATE SAID IT WAS NOT MENT TO BE. THESE CARS NEED TO BE OFF THE ROAD. THEY GIVE NO WARNING OF WHEN YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR BRAKES! ONE TIME THEY ARE FINE, THEN YOU PUSH THE PEDAL, AND YOU GET LIGHTS AND NO BRAKES!. *AK
