FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTANENCE, IT CAME BACK WITH A RECALL FOR THE FUEL RAIL THAT CAN CAUSE A FIRE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER CLAIMED NO INORMATION YET ON THIS RECALL, SO IT IS NOT YET FIXED. AFTER RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THE RECALL DATE WAS 9/14/2000 . THIS IS 16 MONTHS AGO. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROVIDE ME WITH NOTICE VIA FIRST CLASS MAIL AS REQUIRED. THIS SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME BETWEEN RECALL AND WHEN I FOUND OUT. SHOULD NOT THIS RECALL INFORMATION AND THE FIX NEEDED ALREADY HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF? HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE AFTER RECALL TO GET THE FIX TO THE DEALERS?*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, AIR BAGS
FIRST, MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, THEN MY CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED. I FEEL THIS IS ALL TIED IN TO THE CLOCK SPRING WIRE ASSEMBLY IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I'M CONCERNED THAT MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT AND THAT PRIOR TO THAT, MY HORN IS GOING TO STOP WORKING NEXT. IF I GET THESE ITEMS REPAIRED NOW, AND THERE IS A RECALL, WILL THE MANUFACTURER BE REQUIRED TO REIMBURSE ME? *AK

CHRYSLER REFUSED TO HELP WITH THE OVER $600 REPAIR BILL FOR HEAD GASKET. DID NOT CALL THEM ON THE VALVE COVER GASKETS IN OCTOBER. NOW WITH THE FAILURE OF THE HEAD GASKET IT MAKES ME WONDER WHY THE FAILURE OF THEIR GASKETS. THIS IS PREMATURE FAILURE ON BOTH CASES. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. NO WONDER THEY WILL SOON DROP OUT OF THE BIG THREE. *AK
