Consumer Description

DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE THE TECHNICIAN POINTED OUT TO ME AN ABNORMAL AMOUNT OF RUST AND ROT ON THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. I PROCEEDED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THE ENGINE SUPPORT CRADLE WAS PERFORATED AND ROTTED. CHRYSLER USED SUBSTANDARD METAL AND ENGINEERING ALLOWING ROAD DEBRIS AND WATER IN BUT NOT OUT.(NO DRAIN HOLES) I WAS INFORMED THAT ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE MAY NOT FALL THROUGH AT THIS TIME, THAT IT COULD SHIFT DOWNWARD AND STALL. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY HAZARD FOR VEHICLES OF THIS MODEL/YEAR AND SHOULD BE REMEDIED BY CHRYSLER. *TR
