Consumer Description

I NOTICED AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2012, I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR IN 2013. MY CAR STARTED HAVING HEAT COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. I IGNORED THIS ISSUE BUT THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. ON MY LAST OIL CHANGE THE DEALER DIDN'T FILL MY OVERFLOW FOR THE ANTIFREEZE SO I HAD A FRIEND TO FILL IT UP. AFTER FILLING THE ANTIFREEZE HE DECIDED TO TURN ON THE ENGINE. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS THAT THE ANTIFREEZE BEGAN TO BOIL. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER AND TOOK IT ON YESTERDAY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIPM WHICH WAS SHORTED OUT AND THAT THE FAN WASN'T COMING ON LIKE IT SHOULD. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR IS $1275.00. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND THAT THEY NEED TO REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS FOR THIS ISSUE.
