Consumer Description

BLOWN HEAD GASKET. OIL IN COOLING SYSTEM. CONTACTED CHRYSLER, NO HELP THERE. I STILL OWE $5000 ON A CAR WITH A MESSED UP MOTOR. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER KNEW THESE GASKETS WERE DEFECTIVE AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. THERE WAS A TSB PUT OUT IN 1998. WHY WEREN'T OWNERS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. IT'S ALOT CHEAPER TO REPLACE THE HEAD GASKET RATHER THAN REPLACE THE MOTOR. I CALLED THE 1-800 NUMBER AND THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK TO ME. SAME WITH THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO. *AK
