| 2002 | WHEELS | WHY IS CHRYSLER ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THEIR RIM PROBLEMS? WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH TWO SEPARATE CHRYSLER VEHICLES' RIMS BEING UNSUITABLE FOR CONSUMER SAFETY. ONE CAUSED A BLOWOUT ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE OTHER CAUSES CONSTANT AIR PRESSURE ISSUES. THE RIM ACTUALLY HAS A CORROSION CRACK ON THE FLAT PART OF THE RIM, NOT EVEN ON THE BEAD (THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER RIM). IF YOU HAVE A CHRYSLER, HAVE YOUR RIMS CHECKED REGULARLY. CHRYSLER CONVENIENTLY KEPT THIS OFF THEIR WARRANTY PROGRAM. PERHAPS THEY KNEW SOMETHING??? *TR |
| 2004 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION | MY VEHICLE IN MAY 2006 STARTING SHOWING SIGNS OF IGNITION FAILURE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON WHILE I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO TURN OFF VEHICLE OFF,IT REMAINS ON FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES OR LONGER UNTIL I CAN GET IT TO TURN OFF W/O THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THIS MEANS MY CAR IS DRIVABLE W/O A KEY IN THE IGNITION. THIS CAR STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AT 29,000 MILES. THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE GETS EXTREMELY HOT. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL REPORTS WHICH STATES THAT A BREAK IN MOLDING IN THE FUEL PUMP CAN LEAD TO IGNITION FAILURE WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND CAN CAUSE A FIRE. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3X IN LESS THAN 5 MONTHS. ANCIRA JEEPCHRYSLER HAS FAILED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND HAS CONTINUED TO CHARGE ME FOR A FUEL PUMP, CAM SENSOR, AND IGNITION. I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP JUST A FEW DAYS AGO AND NOT EVEN 10 MIN LATER WHEN I GOT HOME THE PROBLEM WAS STILL OCCURING BUT WORSE. MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP AS WE SPEAK AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR FEEDBACK UNLESS I CALL; EVEN THEN, THEY CAN'T GIVE ME AN ANSWER. THE SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME TO ASK ME HOW TO TURN MY CAR OFF, THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM WHEN A CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP W/MECHANICS IS ASKING THEIR CUSTOMER HOW TO FIX THEIR CAR. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY AT ALL, THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND THE SERVICE AND QUALITY I HAVE RECIEVED IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WAS NOT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION FOR THERE ERRORS AND I AM RELYING ON OTHERS FOR TRANSPORTATION. |
