AC LOST CHARGE AND WAS NOT COOLING PROPERLY IN FEB 2002. CAR WAS SEVICED AT MEINEKE IN SUMMERVILLE, SC. NO LEAK COULD BE DETECTED SO SYSTEM RERCHARGED. SYSTEM FAILED AGAIN IN JUN02 AND AGAIN IN AUG02 AT WHICH TIME ATLANTIC AIR AND ACCESS. INC LOCATED A LEAK IN THE EVAPORATER. TOOK VEHICLE TO RICK HENDRICK CHRYSLER AND THEY VERIFIED EVAPORATER FAILURE AND REPLACED THE EVAPORATER. CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE (VEHICLE LESS THAT 3 YEARS OLD) THEREFORE THEY WOULD NOT COVER REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY. CONTACTED CHRYSLER COORPERATION TO REQUEST CONSIDERATION DUE TO EVIDENCE THE HS BODY CARS HAD EXPERIENCE EVAPORATER FAILER IN THE THE 1996 AND 1997 MODELS AND IT APPEARED THIS PROBLEM STILL EXISTED (THEY HAD INCREASE THE WARRANTY ON THE EVAPORATER IN 96/97 TO 7YEARS/70000 MILES). THEY ALSO REFUSED TO PROVIDE CONSIDERATION EVEN AFTER I BASED MY ARGUEMENT THAT THE EVAPORATER WAS NOT A MOVING PART AND THEREFORE NOT EFFECTED BY MILEAGE AND IT APPEARED THEY WERE STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH EVAPORATER FAILURE. THEY RESTATED THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WERE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO COVER ANY REPAIRS. REQUEST ASSISTANCE FROM NHTSA TO DETERMINE IF CHRYSLER IS STILL HAVE EVAPORATER FAILER PROBLEMS AND NOT ADDRESSING THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO EFFECT REPAIRS IN MY AND OTHER OWNER'S VEHICLES AT THE COMPANY'S EXPENSE AND NOT THE OWNER'S.*AK

CHRYSLER CROME WHEELS WILL NOT HOLD AIR PRESSURE IN TIRES. IT IS A EVERYDAY JOB TO CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE IN TIRES TO BE SURE THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE RETURNED TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES TO RESEAL TIRE BEAD AND REBALANCE TIRES. IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THE CROME WHEELS ARE DEFECTIVE AND I FEAR I MAY HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF LOST AIR PRESSURE IN TIRES.*AK
