Consumer Description

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR A WHILE NOW. I LIVE IN A PLACE THAT IS BELOW 40 DEGREES MORE OFTEN THAN IT IS ABOVE 40 DEGREES. THE ISSUE THIS CAR AND MANY OTHERS ARE PLAGUED WITH IS A HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR THAT ARE PLUGGED DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ERROR FROM CHRYSLER DIRECTLY. A PLUGGED HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR NOT ONLY IS UNSAFE; IT IS UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICE. WHEN MY CAR DOES NOT PROPERLY HEAT, I CANNOT DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD BARRING MY VISIBILITY AND CREATING A MASSIVE SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF AND FELLOW MOTORISTS. NOT ONLY DOES MY HEAT NOT WORK PROPERLY, MY CAR WILL OVERHEAT ON CERTAIN OCCASIONS. TO AN INEXPERIENCED CAR OWNER THE RISK OF DESTROYING THEIR ENGINE IS INCREDIBLY HIGH. THE REPAIR CAN RUN AS HIGH AS 1500 DOLLARS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR AN ERROR THAT IS NOT MY OR A SHOPS OVERSIGHT, AND AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS OVERSIGHT AT THAT.
