Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE BECAME HARD TO CONTROL. TOOK IT TO GET LOOKED AT TO SEE WHY. IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE A RUSTED OUT ENGINE CRADLE. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE SWAY BAR MOUNT WAS RUSTED AND GONE. THE CRADLE SHOULD NOT HAVE RUSTED AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON IT. IF NOT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER AND SEE WHY AND IF THEY WOULD REPLACE IT. IT HAS ALSO HAPPEN TO OTHER MODELS OF DODGE CARS AND JEEPS THAT USE THIS SAME PART. IT IS UNSAFE AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER SAID THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT HAD EXPIRED FOR OUR CAR. THEY HAVE SENT ME NO NOTIFICATION THAT IT HAD THIS WARRANTY OR WE WOULD HAVE HAD IT FIXED BEFORE WE FOUND OUT ON OUR OWN. THIS WARRANTY SHOULD NOT EXPIRE AS THEY HAD USED FAULTY MATERIAL AND KNOW ALL ABOUT IT.
