| 1997 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | VEHICLE DEVELOPED OIL LEAK. DIAGNOSED AS HEAD GASKET LEAK. WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER REPAIR. THERE SEEMS TO BE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE YET THE MANUFACTURER APPEARS TO BE IGNORING THE PROB LEM (APPARENT DESIGN/MANUFACTURER FLAW). WHY IS CHRYSLER CORP. NOT BEING FORCED TO ADDRESS AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE? IF THEIR POSITION ON THIS ISSUE IS ONE OF WE DONT CARE,WHICH IS WHAT I HEAR BY READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT HEAD GAS KETS AND THEIR FAILURE TO COVER THE REPAIR, MAYBE THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BOYCOTT TH EIR PRODUCTS. I KNOW THAT I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR PRODUCTS. QUAL ITY SEEMS TO BE A THING OF THE PAST WITH THEM. I JUST HOPE THAT ONE DAY MANAGEME NTS FAMILY MEMBERS GET STUCK SOMEWHERE IN ONE OF THEIR PRODUCTS LIKE THE I DID. MAYBE THEYLL START CARING ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS AND KEEP TH EM IN BUSINESS. I CAN ONLY HOPE. *AK |
