Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND TOOK OUR KIDS TO GET HAIRCUTS THE CAR WAS MAKING A FUNNY SOUND WHEN HE GOT TO THE SALON HE SHUT THE CAR OFF AND IT WOULDN'T RESTART. A FEW PEOPLE PASSED BY AND TOLD HIM IT WAS THE STARTER. $135 LATER AND A NEW STARTER INSTALLED, IT STILL WON'T TURN OVER. UPON SPEAKING WITH A DODGE MECHANIC AT THE DEALER, HE INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR HAD "JUMPED TIMING" AND THAT SINCE IT'S A ZERO TOLERANCE ENGINE, IT'S QUITE POSSIBLE THAT I HAVE A VALVE STUCK OPEN AND THE PART TO FIX IT COSTS $2,000 PLUS LABOR. HE ALSO ADVISED ME TO CALL CHRYSLER AS, IN HIS WORDS, A CAR WITH 46,000 MILES ON IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS.*AK
