Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS USED CAR FROM A DEALER. MY FIANCEE STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS RISING FAST. SHE STARTED TO HEAR BUBBLING GURGLING SOUNDS FROM THE COOLING SYSTEM. THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER. I PHONED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY COULD COVER THE EXPENSE SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAD PRIOR OWNERS. I ENDED UP GETTING THE CAR REPAIRED AND CHRYSLER ONLY OFFERED A 15% DISCOUNT. THEY SHOULD HAVE PAID THE WHOLE BILL OF $1853.03. THERE IS SUCH A THING AS SILENT WARRANTY THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT ON THE INTERNET. I WANT THEM TO REIMBURSE ME AND I AM GOING TO FILE SEVERAL WRITTEN COMPLAINTS.*AK
