Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAUGE AFTER BEING IN REVERSE FOR A PERIOD OF A MINIUTE OR MORE THIS HAS HAPPENED 14 + TIMES. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I TOOK A VIDIO TAPE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT GURLEY LEEP THAT CLEARLY SHOWS IT IN DRIVE WITH THE SHIFT IN DRIVE WITH THE TACKOMETER RISING AND FALLING THEN SLAMING INTO GEAR. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT WAS OUT OF HIS HANDS BECAUSE CHRYSLER WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT . IT WAS BETWEEN ME AND CHRYSLER. I PERSONALLY WONDER IF THE DISTRICT REPRESENTITIVE ISNT WAITING FOR IT TO FAIL UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRENTY SO SOMEONE ELSE CAN PICK UP THE REPAIR TAB. IT VIOLENTLY SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN PUT IN DRIVE THROWING YOU BACK IN THE SEAT AND SLAMMING THE POWERTRAIN IN ENGAUGEMENT. A CERTIFIED LETTER WAS SENT TO CHRYSLER# Z257635146 4/14/199 SIGNED FOR BY KYLE C AND THE DEALER GURLEY LEEP ATTEN MIKE LEEP Z257635147 4/12/1999 SIGNED FOR BY KRISTY ROBERTS BOTH LETTERS WERE IGNORED WITH NO TELEPHONE CALL OR LETTER RETURNED. THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST VECHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED WITH THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF REPAIRS THE FACTORY HAS BEEN TOTALLY INDIFFERENT TO MY PROBLEM AS WELL AS THE DEALER. *AK
