“Parking break self releases. According to chrysler the recall was done more than 10 years ago and is therefore no longer covered. How can chrysler not cover this dangerous problem. The vehicle will unexpectedly begin rolling down a slope with no warning. The break will hold for a few minutes or even longer and then release.. If this replacement part is of this faulty a design why can it not be not be replaced with a more dependable one. Is there a replacement kit for the recall? …”

“Spoke w/ chrysler and the dealership directly about leak in dashboard. Since my vehicle was out of warranty, neither would do anything about problem w/o having their mechanic inspect the vehicle at a cost of $75/hr. Payable by owner (me). I pointed out all they needed to do was look at the passenger side floorboard to see the puddle of water left after it rained the night before. After my experience w/ chrysler regarding the cracked gasket on my fuel tank, which I just found out was a recall issue, I figured there was nothing I could do and have endured the inconvenience ever since. …”

I confirmed campaign #94v106000 is in effect for ~230,000 units, and that the problem I was experiencing was consistent with the recall. I contacted chrysler national service ~17 nov and received advice to present it to dealer for repair and inclusion under recall. Following scheduled appoinment and repairs for a safety item, follow-up with chrysler for reimbursement has been unsuccessful. …”
