Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE OCTOBER 22, 2014. AFTER A WEEK WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING THE HEAT DID NOT WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE. HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IT. TOOK IT BACK IN, SERVICE PARTS TOLD ME IT WASN'T COVERED -- MANUFACTURER DEFECT. TOOK THE CAR IN TO THOMAS DODGE THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW RADIATOR AND THE HEATER CORE WAS CLOGGED -- COST TO REPAIR $1900. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 60,000 MI. I'VE PUT @20,000 MILES ON IT IN 3 YEARS. AND BOUGHT A SERVICE CONTRACT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN PROBLEM -- I'M JUST STUMPED. I NEED SOMETHING RELIABLE.
