I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE ACCELERATING AT 60 MPH AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE RIDE AND RE START THE CAR AND I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING TO WORK WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP THIS IS THE CAR THAT I USE EVERYDAY TO GO TO WORK AND I ONLY HAD JUST CAR FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS AND WHEN I PURCHASE A CAR I EXPECT THAT IT WILL LAST FOR ME WHILE I'M MAKING THE PAYMENTS AND I HAVE 3 MORE YEARS TO PAY ON THE CAR I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE ISSUE. I HAVE LET THE DEALERSHIP ONLY WORK ON MY CAR SINCE I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER PERFORMS ALL MY OILS CHANGES TUNE UP AND EVERYTHING THAT I NEED TO HAVE DOWN AND ITS NOT FAIR THAT THE TRUCK WAS DISCONTINUE I FEEL LIKE THE COMPANY KNOWS THAT THE TRUCK IS HAVING THE PROBLEMS AND NOBODY WANTS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I VISITED A DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON IN MY VEHICLE, AS WELL AS TO DIAGNOSE WHY IT WAS LOSING ACCELERATION WHEN APPROACHING HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER ABOUT HALF AN HOUR, I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR, THAT, їTHEY HAVE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF THISї AND THE CAUSE WAS THE GEAR SHIFTER CONSOLE WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SHE FOLLOWED THIS BY STATING THE REPLACEMENT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND PROVIDED ME WITH THE ESTIMATED COST. PERPLEXED, I INQUIRED AS TO WHETHER THE CAUSE WAS DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR AND COULD THIS HAVE BEEN PREVENTED THROUGH SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. MS. HAWKINS RESPONSE WAS їNOї. FURTHER CONFUSED, I INQUIRED AS TO WHY WOULD THE REPLACEMENT THEN BE THE CONSUMERїS RESPONSIBILITY, AS IT WOULD APPEAR TO ME TO HAVE BEEN A MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTION. THE REP'S RESPONSE WAS MERELY THE SAME, THE SERVICES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IF NOT REPLACED THE VEHICLE COULD GET LOCKED IN THE PARKED POSITION WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THUS I WAS FORCED TO COMPLY PAYING MORE THAN $600 IN REPAIRS. *TR
