Consumer Description

WHILE REPLACING A SET OF TIRES AT A LOCAL SHOP, THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME OF A RUSTED ENGINE SUPPORT FRAME. HE ALSO STATED THE DANGER OF THE ENGINE FALLING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AT THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WITH MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION REPORTS EVERY 3000 MILES. NEVER ONCE HAS THIS RUSTED FRAME BEEN REPORTED AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP! THE LAST SERVICE REPORT DURING AN OIL CHANGE STATED, "CHECKED OVER EVERYTHING LOOKED OK". THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPORTED OTHER MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR ISSUES BUT NEVER THIS ONE. IS CHRYSLER TRYING TO HIDE THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM? I'VE BEEN A LONG TERM OWNER OF CHRYSLER PRODUCTS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH A RUSTED-OUT ENGINE SUPPORT. THE CAR CURRENTLY SITS IN OUR GARAGE WITH MY WIFE REFUSING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
