Consumer Description

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR ITS YEARLY INSPECTION. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER WAS ROTTED AWAY/RUSTED AND NEED REPLACED AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $800. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS AN COMMON PROBLEM FOR MY CAR IN THE YEARS 2007 & 2008 AS WELL AS THE JEEP COMPASS, AND IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN ON A CAR WITH MY YEAR/MILEAGE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT DODGE HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE 2007 CALIBERS AND IS PAYING FOR THEIR REPAIRS, BUT WILL NOT OFFER ANY COMPENSATION/WARRANTY TO THE OWNERS OF THE 2008 MODELS. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT.
