“The air-conditioning unit stopped blowing cold air without warning. When I took my van to the mechanic, he informed me that he was unable to detect any leak in the system and with my permission recharged the system back in september. It worked fine for about two months then once again,without warning,it stopped blowing cold air.I called the manufacturer,and they bluntly told me that it was my problem since the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty had long expired. …”
NHTSA complaint #10069813, filed 2004-01“Dealer was going to replace the transmission, but after several hours of labor, they decided to replace a differential pin on the transmission after only 52,000 miles. Dealer would not cover cost of repair. It sounds like many people have had similar problem, is there going to be a recall? Also, the dealer has recharged the air conditioner 3 times within the past 3 years. Each time they charged me for it. I find it hard to believe that a charge would last only one summer.”
NHTSA complaint #10054363, filed 2004-01“First, we were running the A/C on the highway for about 15 minutes and when we got off onto another freeway and stopped for a traffic signal the engine stalled. Every time we stopped it failed again. Then the A/C also caused the check engine light to come on on the interstate at 65 MPH and remain on, we took to a repair shop and the diagnostic showed a bad EGR valve. Then the rear liftgate support has broken causing the liftgate to fall onto a person and caused injury to the head.”
NHTSA complaint #708932, filed 1999-07“This was the first of three failures on this part. For the past 3 months I have had the belt put back on . This is at a total cost of about 350.00 to me. This is rediculous!!”
NHTSA complaint #705016, filed 1999-03“At approximately 58500 miles the head gasket on the engine failed. It was replaced under a purchased extended warrantee. I was not informed by anyone that chrysler had a program in place to cover the cost of repairs though such a program existed. At 75419 miles the headgasket blew again. Only this time the head was cracked as well. I was charged over $1625.00 for the repairs eventhough it appears the original repairs were ineffective. After much discussion the car dealer warranteed the repairs for 36000 miles or 3 years. This offer was never made on the original repairs. …”
