Consumer Description

MY HEADGASKET HAS BEEN LEAKING FOR A LONG TIME. I HAVE TRYED TO GET CHRYSLER TO PAY FOR THIER MISTAKE. I REPLACED THE GASKET. THE NEW ONE IS A LOT THICKER THEN THE OLD ONE.SO, IF THEY MODIFIED THE NEW GASKET, THEN SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG WITH THE ORIGINAL ONE. THAT'S WHY ALL THESE CAR OWNERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A LEAKING GASKET ON THEIR DODGE STRATUSES AND NEONS. THIS COULD BE LOOKED AT AS A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD, BECAUSE THE LEAKING OIL ON THE ENGINE COULD CATCH ON FIRE AND THE LEAKING OIL ON THE GROUND CAN GET INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. I PAID FOR THE HEAD GASKET WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, NOW I'M HAVING TO PAY FOR IT AGAIN. I FEEL. *AK (DOT NUMBER: 0 TIRESIZE: 0)
