Consumer Description

I RECEIVED A RADIATOR FAN RELAY RECALL, COULD THIS DEFECTIVE RELAY HELP THE MAJOR TRANSMITION SEALS FAIL? IF SO, IS DODGE/CHRYSLER RESPNSIBLE FOR THE $1300 REPAIR OF THE FAULTY TRANSMISION SEALS? IF SO, HOW DO I FILE A CLAIM WITH THE MANUFACTURER? THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP CLAIMS THE SEAL FAILURE WAS DUE TO EXTREME HEAT, HE STATED THAT THE SEALS WERE VERY BRITTLE, LIKE DRY NOODLES, NOTHING LIKE THE SOFT RUBBER THAT THEY SHOULD RESEMBLE.
