Consumer Description

WITHIN THE LAST MONTH OUR FAMILY HAS EXPERIENCED TWO TRANSMISSION FAILURES IN TWO DIFFERENT CHRYSLER VEHICLES WE OWN. THE FIRST, A 1999 CHRYSLER SEBRING, HAD THE TRANSMISSION CATASTROPHICALLY FAIL AFTER ONLY 60,000 MILES. THE SECOND, A 1998 DODGE INTREPID, HAD THE CLUTCHES IN THE TRANSMISSION FAIL AFTER 79,000 MILES. BOTH OF THESE CARS WERE EXTREMELY WELL CARED FOR AND DRIVEN NORMALLY. BOTH VEHICLES HAVE BEEN SERVICED ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANUAL SUPPLIED WITH THE CAR. AS A CONSUMER, ITS HARD TO SEE HOW A COMPANY CAN CHARGE $2,000.00 TO REPLACE A PART OF A CAR THAT FAILED WITHOUT REASON. I WILL NEVER BUY A CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. *LA
