Example complaints

“Noticed the smell of gas in and around the car. Made appointment for normal maintenance check and found out fuel rail was leaking gas. Luckily I had a warrenty contract for which the part for replacement of fuel rail was covered. I do have a $100.00 co-pay for which I would like to have refunded. Was told by chrysler corp. That this was not possible, without the correction to fuel rail my car could have been engulfed in flames while driving. Chrysler could at least refund my co-pay. I don't think I should pay for their bad parts. …”
