THE ABS PUMP WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE ON AUGUST 30, 2013. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SINCE SEPTEMBER 4, 2013. I HAVE INFORMATION STATING THAT THE PUMP IS COVERED UNDER A LIFETIME WARRANTY AND CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS GIVEN ME THE RUN AROUND ON IT SAYING THAT IT DOES NOT MEAN LIFETIME SINCE IT FAILED AGAIN AFTER THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIR. I AM SORRY BUT I THOUGHT LIFETIME MEANT LIFETIME ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTS THAT I HAVE AND READ. THEY REFUSE TO PROVIDE ME WITH AN ALTERNATE CAR TO DRIVE SO I CAN GET TO WORK STATING THAT IS NOT COVERED EITHER. THEY ARE THE POOREST EXCUSE OF A BUSINESS THAT I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH AND TELL YOU SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH EACH CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE YOU SPEAK TO. THEY CANNOT EVEN TELL THE SAME LIES TWICE. I WAS FIRST INFORMED THAT THEY COULDN'T GET THE PARTS, THEN TOLD THEY WERE ON BACK ORDER AND NOW I AM TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ETA FOR THE PARTS. I WILL NOT ADVISE ANYONE TO PURCHASE ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS SINCE THEY DO NOT HONOR WARRANTIES OR STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. *JS

I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CHRYSLER -- PEOPLE STOP ME IN MALLS, SUPERMARKETS AND ASK ME IF I'VE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AS THEY HAVE -- ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1990 EVERYONE I'VE SPOKEN TO THAT HAS HAD A CHRYSLER VAN, NEW YORKER, DYNASTY, ETC. HAS HAD MAJOR TRANSMISSIONS PROBLEMS AND/OR HAS HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. IN SPEAKING WITH MY LOCAL AAMCO TRANSMISSION REPS AND CONTINENTAL TRANSMISSION REP (A BUFFALO STORE) -- CHRYSLER CARS ARE THEIR NUMBER 1 REPAIR. I HAD OCCASION TO SPEAK WITH THE VP OF CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR AAMCO AT THE EXECUTIVE OFFICES IN PA -- HE ALSO REITERATED THAT CHRYSLER IS THEIR NUMBER 1 REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED IN TO. WITH ALL OF THE CHRYSLER REPAIRS I'VE HEARD OF JUST IN THE BUFFALO AREA ALONE, NATIONALLY THEIR HAS TO BE THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS WHO HAVE INCURRED A MAJOR EXPENSE. PLEASE PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM AN ELDERLY MAN IN 7/2000 IT ONLY HAD 19,025 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT WAS IN SHOWROOM CONDITION. AROUND 21,000 MILES THE CAR STARTED TO HAVE HESITATION PROBLEMS AND I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. ONE LOCAL BUFFALO TRANSMISSION SHOP INDICATED THAT THE COMPUTERS OPERATING THE TRANSMISSIONS WERE BAD AND THEY'VE HAD TO SELL MANY OF THEM. THANK YOU AND I REALLY APPRECIATE AN INVESTIGATION.*AK

THE FUEL RAIL IS A NON WEAR ITEM AND A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ITEM. THERE IS A SIMILAR RECALL ON RELATED COMPONENTS BUT DEALER SAID THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THAT RECALL. THIS TYPE OF FAILURE CAN LEAD TO ENGINE FIRE AT STARTUP OR WHILE RUNNING. MANUFACTURER SHUOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR COSTS.
