| 1999 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE STRATUS. WHILE PARKED AT A STORE PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE'S HOOD CAUGHT FIRE. THE PUERTO RICO POLICE DEPARTMENT FILED REPORT NUMBER 200835803237. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO HAVE HER INSURANCE COMPANY INVESTIGATE THE FAILURE AND FORWARD THEM THE REPORT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 54,000. |
| 2003 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WE'RE PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION AND TURNING TO THE RIGHT WHEN SUDDENLY WE HEARD A "SNAP" AND THE CAR STALLED. IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP, WHERE I WAS THEN GREETED BY MY AIR BAG DUMMY. HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORK EITHER. TALKED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST AT LEAST $80 WORTH OF "INVESTIGATIVE WORK" TO MAKE SURE IT WAS A CLOCK SPRING (WHICH I COULD TELL THE SECOND IT HAPPENED). SAID THAT THE PART AND LABOR WOULD BE $200 AFTER THE DETECTIVE WORK OF COURSE. NO RECALL, NOT AVAILABLE AT PARTS STORES, SO NO DRIVER AIR BAG FOR ME. HOPE DODGE RECOGNIZES THE PROBLEM, IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET. *TR |
