VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
SIMILAR TO ODI ID NO. 748019, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW BROKE LOOSE AND COULD NOT BE RAISED. EXAMINATION OF THE FAILURE SHOWED THAT THE SHEET METAL WINDOW SUPPORT HAD BROKEN. CHRYLSER'S ONLY SOLUTION SEEMS TO BE TO REPLACE THE WINDOW WITH SIMILAR COMPONENTS. VERY POOR DESIGN. A SHEET METAL PART BENT OVER ON TO ITSELF AND THEN GLUED (EPOXIED) PRODUCES A WEAK JOINT.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE TIMING CHAIN BUSTED THROUGH THE CASING THAT HOUSES IT IN THE ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE CAUSE COULD BE A FLAW IN THE CHAIN LINK, AND IT CAUSED SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE REST OF THE ENGINE, AND THAT THE ENGINE MUST BE REPLACED. ESTIMATED COST IS $7000. MY COMMENTS TO THEM WERE, IF IT IS A FLAW IN THE CHAIN, SHOULDN'T IT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY? THEY TOLD ME NO. I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THERE HAS BEEN OTHE OCCURRANCES OF THIS PRIBLEM, AND WHAT MY RECOURSE AND NEXT STEP SHOULD BE.
