WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IT WAS LEAKING OIL SO I FIGURED IT WAS JUST SOMETHING SIMPLE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO JIM EARP CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH ON 55TH AND L STREET THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY HEADGASKETS, AND BRAKES.I DID. THEY CAR WAS STILL LEAKING SO I TOOK IT BACK IN ON 6/10/99 BUT THEY COULD'T LOOK AT IT. I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER THEY TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION IS PROBALY CRACKED. I DO HAVE ANOTHER FRIEND WHO BOUGHT HIS CAR BRAND NEW AND THE SAME PROBLEM, HEADGASKETS WENT BAD, HIS ENGINE CRACKED, AND NOW HIS CAR IS IN THE SHOP FOR BAD TRANSMISSION. MY CAR MAKES MORE NOISE...

BY THAT TIME OF COARSE I WAS OUT OF MILAGE WARRENTY. I WENT AHEAD AND SENT IT IN TO HAVE THE HEAD GASKET REPARED OR REPLACED WHATEVER NEEDED TO BE DONE. THEY TOLD ME AT THAT TIME THAT THERE WAS A NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THE PART SO I DID NOT RECIEVE MY VEHICLE BACK FOR OVER A MONTH. THEN WHEN I DID GET IT BACK I NOTICED THAT IT WAS STILL LEAKING OIL SO I CALLED...
