BLOWN HEAD GASKET AFTER ONLY AROUND 54,000 MILES - MECHANIC SAID THAT THE CAR SHOULDN'T SUFFER FROM SUCH PROBLEMS AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE. CHRYSLER CORPORATION NOTIFIED BUT REFUSED TO HELP SAYING THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. IN ADDITION, THE CAR SUFFERS FROM SIGNIFICANT ENGINE NOISE WHEN IDLING AND THE AIR CONDITIONER JUST WENT OUT. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I AM VERY DISAPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF CHRYSLER'S PRODUCT AND THE COMPANY'S UNWILLINGNESS TO STAND BY THEIR AUTOMOBILES.

WHEN VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO GEAR IT MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE, AND WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR. ALSO AND OIL IS LEAKING. THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK

CAR WON'T RUN OR IDLE AT LOW SPEED OR AT A STOP IN GEAR. REPLACED CAP, ROTOR, PLUGS, NO CHANGE. DEALER TROUBLESHOT FOR SEVEN HOURS AND REPLACED THE AIS MOTOR AND CLEANED HEAVY CARBON OUT OF THE INTAKE. DEALER TOLD US TO DRIVE THE CAR AROUND TO ALLOW THE CLEANER TO REMOVE THE CARBON IN THE INTAKE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TASK. THE CAR'S PERFORMANCE HAS NOT IMPROVED. DEALER SUGGESTS REPLACEMENT OF THE PCV VALVE. REMEDY SEEMS SUSPECT.

WHEN DRIVING AND APPLYING THE BRAKES THEY ARE SOFT BUT THE BRAKES MAKE A LOUD NOISE. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE FOURTEEN TIMES. WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE AND DECREASING POWER, THE VEHICLEE WILL STALL AND DIE OUT. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED 6 TIMES. THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN 22 TIMES. VEHICLE WILL BE BACK IN THE SHOP. *AK
