Consumer Description

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WAS VIBRATING AND MAKING NOISES, HAD IT CHECKED BY A MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD MY ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO FALL OUT OF MY CAR DUE TO RUSTING. THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS WAS MORE THAN I WANTED TO SPEND HOWEVER THE MECHANIC SAID IT WASN'T SAFE TO EVEN DRIVE OFF THE LOT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD TO TRADE IT IN. SO I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND HAD I WAITED A DAY LATER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT MYSELF AND MY KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR NOT PROPERLY COATING THE ENGINE CRADLES AND SOME OF US LIVE IN THE SNOWBELT!!! *TR
