Consumer Description

MY CAR SUDDENLY STARTED LEAKING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO TIRES PLUS TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THEY COULD DO TO FIX MY CAR AND HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST. THEY ADVISED ME THAT CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE FAILURE ISSUE FOR SOME TIME BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY ALSO ADVISED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX MY CAR AS ONCE THE GASKET FAILED INITIALLY IT WOULD LEAD TO SERIAL FAILURE OF THE GASKET AND THE REPLACED PART WOULD ONLY LAST FROM 3 TO 6 MONTHS. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT CHRYSLER COULD KNOW ABOUT THIS AND NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY? *TR
