I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH DAIMLER-CHRYSLER REGARDING THE LONGEVITY OF THEIR AUTOMOBILES. THISWAS THE SECOND VEHICLE THAT FAILED BETWEEN 100,000 AND 110,000 WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP. I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS, DOOR SEALS, THE AUTOMATIC SEATS AND NOW THE ENGINE. I TOOK THE CAR TO CHRYSLER DEALER, AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER TOLD ME I HAD A BAD ROD AND THE ENGINE WAS VIRTUALLY SHOT AND WASN'T WORTH FIXING. HE SAID HE WAS ASHAMED TO SAY THE 2.7 ENGINES WERE JUNK. I HAVE RESEARCHED MY CAR AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME, IF NOT MORE PROBLEMS THAN WHAT I HAD, WHICH INDICATED THAT DAIMLER-CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF FOR NOT CARING OR MAKING GOOD FOR THEIR MISTAKES INSTEAD OF IGNORING THEM! THIS CAR HAS HAD MANY OTHER PROBLEMS, INCLUDING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH DOOR LOCKS, THE POWER SEATS, AND THE SEALS FROM AROUND THE DOORS. I MADE THE MISTAKE OF NOT RESEARCHING THE VEHICLE BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN! I JUST WISH THAT DAIMLER-CHRYSLER WOULD CARE MORE ABOUT THEIR CARS, AND THE CONSUMERS THAT WERE BUYING THEM, AND THEN MAYBE THEY WOULD HAVE MORE SALES SINCE THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE STINKS. I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO SAY A TRUE STATEMENT ABOUT SERVICE FOR DAIMLER-CHRYSLER PROBLEMS. I WILL NEVER BUY A DAIMLER-CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN, AS PER MY OWN EXPERIENCES WITH PROBLEMS AND THE RESPONSES FROM THE COMPANY. IF I HAVE NO SATISFACTION FROM THIS EMAIL, WHICH I KNOW WILL NOT HAPPEN!, I WILL MAKE SURE THAT OTHERS KNOW WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH!, ESPECIALLY WILL ALL THE VETERANS THAT I KNOW AND HAVE CONTACTS WITH SINCE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001.*AK
