Consumer Description

AFTER HAVING MY ENGINE REPAIRED FOR $570.00, I SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND FOUND IT WAS.THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, IF THE ENGINE FAILED WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK SHE COULD BE HURT.AFTER CALLING CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY WERE VERY RUDE AND OFFERED NO SOLUTION AT ALL, NOT EVEN A COMPROMISE, KNOWING THIS IS AN ISSUE BUT TECHNICALLY NOT YET RECALLED.I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE FORCED AS THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT ON ALL THESE MODEL CARS. THANK YOU.*AK
