THE FIRST PROBLEM BEGAN WITH THE TIMING BELT BREAKING, I RETURNED TO CASINO AUTO SALES TO FIND A SOLUTION,THEIR MECHANIC " FIXED" THE PROBLEM SO I THOUGHT ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM OCCUR AGAIN ABOUT A MONTH AND HALF LATER WITH A BAD FUEL PUMP ADDED TO THE PROBLEM SO I WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE TO HAVE THAT FIXED. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I WAS TAKEN TO SEARS TO PURCHASE A NEW SET OF TIRES, I WAS TOLD BY A SEARS REP. THAT I WAS LUCKY TO NOT HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE WRONG SIZE TIRES WERE PUT ON THE CAR WHICH CAUSED ME TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE TIRED WITH WOBBLING. MY VEHICLE THEN BEGAN TO SMOKE FROM THE STEERING COLOUM WHENEVER THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, I HAVENT EVEN BOTHERED TO GO BACK TO CASINO BECAUSE I WOULDNT TRUST THEM TO ACTUAALT FIX IT THE RIGHT AND HONEST WAY DO TO THE FACT THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH CASH SO THEY BASICALLY SOLD ME A LEMON. *AK

ALTHOUGH THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY FAILURE, THE DEALER REFUSES TO DO ANTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE SEEN THIS VERY SAME CLOUDING AND DETERIATING OF THIS PLASTIC HEADLIGHT LENS COVER ON MANY OTHER CHRYSLER CARS, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO DENY EVEY HEARING ABOUT IT. THEY WERE HOWEVER QUICK TO QUOTE ME A PRICE OF $ 257.00 PER SIDE TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT THEY SAY DOES NOT HAPPEN. *AK
