| 1998 | TIRES:SIDEWALL | I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS OUT OF THIS CAR!! THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN CHARLOTTE, BUT I LIVE IN SPARTANBURG, SO ALL SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN PERFORMED AT QUALITY CHRYSLER (1030 N. CHURCH ST., SPARTANBURG, SC 29303; PHONE: 864/596-4550). THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY IN 11/98, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. THEY FINALLY FOUND THE PROBLEM IN 6/98. STARTED HAVING ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS IN 11/99, AND THEY STATED ONCE AGAIN THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM. - THE DOOR PANELS HAVE COME OFF OF BOTH DOORS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. BLEW A TIRE WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25MPH. RIM APPEARS TO HAVE CUT THROUGH SIDE WALL. - HORN ON RIGHT SIDE OF STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT I COULDN'T ALERT A VEHICLE THAT WAS ABOUT TO SHIFT INTO MY LANE. I HAD TO DRIVE ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. - I HAVE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS THAT ARE NOT SAFETY ISSUES, INCLUDING : SPOTS IN PAINT ON SPOILER, ALARM SOUNDING WHEN UNLOCKING PASSENGER DOOR WITH KEY, SPOTS ON BACK WINDOW. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE QUALITY OF THIS CAR, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS MY VERY FIRST NEW CAR. *AK |
| 1999 | STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR | I AHVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIPABOUT THE HOT TAR THAT WAS LEAKING FROM MY DOOR AND THEY SAID THAT THEY FIXED IT. WELL THE NEXT SUMMER IT GOT HOT ONCE AGAIN AND THE HOT TAR GOT ON CLOTHING AND MY LEG. HOW EVER BY THIS TIME MY WARRANTY WAS OUT AND SO THEY SAID IT WAS NOT THERE RESPONSEBILITY AND I AHD TO COVER THE REPAIR SINCE THEY HAD NO RECORD OF THE REPAIR. I ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER ONTHE PROBLEM AND THE EMPLOYEE RESPONSE WAS "JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE HAVEING PROBLEMS DOES NOT MEAN ANYONE ELSE IS!"I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT I WOULD NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN! I HAVE GOTTEN NO CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP BUT I AHD AN AWESOME SALESAMAN WHO CAN NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP! BUT SELL ME ANOTHER CAR IN SIX MONTHS AFTER I PAY THIS ONE OFF MORE. ALL IN ALL THIS HAS BEEN A LEARNING ADVENTURE FOR ME.*AK |
