Consumer Description

HAVE A DODGE DAKOTA-IT HAD A LEAKY HEAD GASKET; WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIRS CHRYSLER WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER BECAUSE THEY SAY THERE IS SLUDGE IN ENGINE DUE TO LACK OF OIL CHANGES; I HAVE CHANGED OIL AND I DON'T SEE HOW A LACK OF OIL CHANGES WOULD CAUSE A LEAKY HEAD GASKET ANYWAY. PAID EXTRA FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY; CHRYSLER PEOPLE VERY RUDE. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED AND HAVE HAD IT FOR 2 YEARS, 30000 MILES. HAD ENGINE OIL TESTED AND ANTI FREEZE WAS IN THE OIL, EXPLAINED THIS TO WARRANTY PEOPLE AND THEY STILL REFUSE. I CALLED THEM TWICE AND THEY TOLD ME NOT TO CALL AGAIN. I WANT MY MONEY BACK FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I WANT CHRYSLER TO KNOW THAT THEY HAVE ROTTEN PRODUCTS AND I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER ONE. *AK
