Consumer Description

STARTED HEARING GRINDING NOISE WHEN CAR WAS DE-ACCELERATING. BROUGHT CAR TO GARAGE WHERE I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS A SEALED UNIT SO IT COULDN'T BE REPAIRED. IT TOOK TWO WEEKS IN A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO GET REPAIRED AT CHRYSLER'S EXPENSE (LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY). EVEN THOUGH THE REPAIR WAS FREE, I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR TWO WEEKS OF CAR RENTALS SINCE THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE ANY LOANER CARS AVAILABLE (AMAZINGLY THERE WERE TWO IN THE LOT WHEN I PICKED THE CAR UP). THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE SINCE PURCHASING IN OCTOBER 2007. SEEING ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, IT STILL AMAZES ME THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY RECALLS FOR ANY OF THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS CAR. BUT THEN AGAIN THE US GOVERNMENT OWNS CHRYSLER.......... *TR
