Consumer Description

TIPM-, BATTERY TERMINALS/HOLDS DOWNS, TBODY. I FOUND THESE ISSUES AND WENT TO THE DEALER IN RELATION TO THESE PROBLEMS AFTER I HAD DONE MY INVESTIGATION. THEY SAW ME WITH THE INFORMATION I HAD, AND BEGAN TO RUN IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. I TOLD THEM WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I JUST HAD SURGERY AND WAS INHALING THE CARBON FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND CAD LIGHT PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE ONLY GOES 20 MPH. CHRYSLER RELEASED THIS VEHICLE TO ITS CUSTOMERS FOR LOAN OR PURCHASE WITH A FAULTY DESIGN IN PLACE. CHRYSLER KNEW OF THIS AND PROCEEDED TO SALE THIS VEHICLE IN AN ORDER TO MAKE MONEY AND NOT LOOKING AT THE RISK THAT WE AS CUSTOMERS WOULD BE TAKING AS WELL AS THEM. CHRYSLER DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I AS A CONSUMER FEEL CHEATED AND WANT TO BE COMPENSATED FOR MY LOSS. THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN DRIVE MODE AND I AM NOT RISKING THE LIFE MY SON AND I FOR THIS MAJOR MISTAKE ON THEIR PART. *TR
