Consumer Description

I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CAGE IS SEVERELY ROTTING AWAY AND DRIVING MY CAR IS A ROAD HAZARD. I ONLY HAVE 138,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT DIES...BUT RIGHT NOW I WAS TOLD THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NO LONGER MADE AND I WOULD HAVE TO FIND A SALVAGE CAR TO FIND A REPLACEMENT PART. THE QUADRANT REMAINS THAT I BOUGHT A USED CAR FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER THAT SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE RECALL ON THIS PART DUE TO IT NOT BEING MANUFACTURED CORRECTLY FOR CORROSION RESISTANCE. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IF I WERE TO SELL IT I WOULD BE PASSING A DANGEROUS CAR ON TO SOMEONE ELSE...I STILL OWE ON THIS CAR AND IT IS WORTH LESS THAN WHAT I OWE LET ALONE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE TO WORK 75 MILES A DAY. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE AMENDS OR REPARATIONS FOR THE LACK OF ACTION REGARDING THE SAFETY ISSUE HERE...AND THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
