Consumer Description

I WAS TOLD WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED OUT & THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD NEED TO GET THIS FIXED OR THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION COULD FALL OUT. MY CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN STORED IN A GARAGE. THERE IS NO WAY A CAR OF THIS CALIBER SHOULD HAVE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. IT ISN'T EVEN SOMETHING THAT OUR SERVICE GUY HAS SEEN ON VERY OLD CARS. WAS QUOTED @ $4200 FOR NEW ONE & AROUND $1200 FOR USED. MY REPAIR SHOP ORDERED 6 OF THEM BEFORE THEY COULD FIND ONE THAT WASN'T ALSO RUSTED OUT. OF COURSE THEY GOT MORE EXPENSIVE AS IT WENT ALONG. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN CHRYSLER SAYING THAT IT WASN'T COVERED & THEY WOULDN'T STAND BY THERE PRODUCT/DEFECT.
