| 1996 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | ONGOING OIL LEAK SINCE PURCHASED. FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. WAS TOLD REAR MAIN SEAL WAS GOING OUT OF CAR. OIL GETTING IN RADIATOR, MECH. SAID HEAD GASKETS WERE BAD. TIMING BELT BROKE WHILE DRIVING 65MPH, CAUSING PISTON TO BEND VALVE. FRONT BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS SQUEAKED WHEN RELEASING, AND HAS ALWAYS RATTLED BEHIND FRONT WHEELS WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. WHAT A LEMON!! PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASED! ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THESE! THERE SHOULD BE RECALL ON THESE DUE TO HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS! I EXPECTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS, BUT NOT THIS SOON! PROBLEMS STARTED SOON AFTER PURCHASE, AND DEALER KEPT TELLING ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT! THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT A NEWER MODEL CAR! MY KLUNKER RAN BETTER THAN THIS AND WITH LESS PROBLEMS! I WILL DEFINITELY THINK TWICE BEFORE BUYING ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT, ESPECIALLY AFTER READING ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH HEAD GASKETS THAT SEEM TO BE GETTING IGNORED!!*AK |
