Consumer Description

MAY 17, 2003 WAS THE MOST RECENT EPISODE. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 5 TIMES FOR OVERHEATING. THEY'VE BEEN UNABLE TO SATISFACTORILY FIX THE PROBLEM OR ADMIT IT'S A DEFECT. I'VE LODGED COMPLAINTS WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATE, BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY RESOLUTION THEY'RE WILLING TO OFFER IS EXTENDED COVERAGE, WHICH WON'T KEEP MY CAR FROM OVERHEATING EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT A TRIP LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES.
