CRUISE CONTROL FROM PURCHASE DIDN'T WORK, SALESMAN TOLD ME I NEEDED TO BE TRAVELING 55 MPH FOR IT WORK. TURNED OUT, IT WAS BROKEN, COST ME $100 TO REPAIR. ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE, CAR DEAD, TURNED OUT IT NEEDED A BATERY. DEALERSHIP PAID THE COST. 2ND MONTH AFTER PURCHASE, CHECK ENGING LIGHT CAME ON, CAR RUNNING SLUGGISH AND POPPING NOISE, TURNED OUT I NEEDED A SPARK PLUG. I REQUESTED THEY CHANGE THEM ALL. THEY WOULDN'T. 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE CHECK ENGING LIGHT ON AGAIN, CAR RUNNING VERY SLUGGISH, POPPING NOISE AGAIN, FILLED UP WITH GAS, CAR WOULDN'T START, HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED IT. THIS IS REDICULOUS. I WANT TO FILE A LEMON. LAW. I CAN'T AFFORD A $400/MO PAYMNET AND PAY FOR MY CAR TO BE REPAIRED ON A MONTHLY BASIS. WHAT CAN I DO?*AK

ON 12/2000 A TREAD SEPARATION WAS ENCOUNTERED AND YOU WERE INFORMED AT THAT TIME. ON 9/27/01 I SURVIVED A COMPLETE TIRE FAILURE. THE SIDEWALL WAS RIPPED IN A STRAIGHT LINE FROM THE BEAD TO THE TREAD. THE GOODYEAR DEALER SAID IT WAS A TREAD SEPARATION AND INFORMED ME THAT THE OTHER FRONT TIRE (RIGHT), WAS IN DANGER OF DOING THE SAME THING. BOTH TIRES WERE REPLACED. *AK (DOT NUMBER: M6PCLNWR25 TIRESIZE: P215/50R17)

WHEEL HUB BEARING ON LEFT REAR WHEEL WENT BAD. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THESE PARTS SHOULD NOT GO BAD UNTIL I REACH AT LEAST 80,000 MILES ON MY CAR. HIS COMMENT WAS THAT THE PART MUST HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE FROM THE START. MY COMPLAINT ABOUT THE MOLDING: I TOOK MY CAR TO AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH AND IT CAME OUT WITH A BENT MOLDING WHICH THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAID HAD TO BE REPLACED AND COULD NOT BE FIXED. THEY ENCOURAGED ME TO GET THE MONEY FROM THE CAR WASH, HOWEVER, WHEN INVESTIGATING THEY DETERMINED THAT THE MOLDING ON MY CAR WAS LOOSE ON THE OTHER SIDE AND THE CAR WASH COULD NOT BE AT FAULT. THIS WAS $200.00 OUT OF MY POCKET FOR A POORLY ASSEMBLED CAR.

A LOUD SOUND COMING FROM FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT WHEELS WHENEVER YOU INCREASE SPEED, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR OF MY TIRES TWICE, AND STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM OF THE TIRES GOING FLAT. THE BRAKES PULSATE WHENEVER COMING TO A STOP AND THEY CONSTANTLY SQUEAL. I HAVE WENT TO THE MECHANICS FOR ALL OF THIS LISTED COMPLAINTS AND NO ONE WAS ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY BRAKES PULSATING WAS SAID TO BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE KIND OF BRAKES THAT CHRYSLER PUTS ON THERE VEHICLES A SEMI METALLIC TYPE. MY FRONT WHEELS FEEL AS THOUGH THEY ARE ABOUT TO FLY OFF. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.*AK

STARTED CAR, WITH FOOT ON BRAKE WENT FROM PARK TO REVERSE TO NEUTRAL TO DRIVE. WHEN CAR WENT INTO DRIVE IT RACED OUT OF CONTROL. RESULTING IN HITTING THE OTHER VEHICLE

PULLEY OF COMPRESSEOR FAILED IN 5/99, CAUSING BELT TO BREAK AND MAJOR ENGINE DAMAGE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. PULLY FAILED AGAIN SEPTEMBER 01. NO RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER. I CAUGHT BEFORE ANY OTHER DAMAGE, BUT CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE.*AK

WHILE DRIVE FROM PHILADELPHIA PA TO LINTHICUM, MD ON I-95, MY DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE - WHICH IS 6 WEEKS OLD - BLEW OUT. MY TIRE WAS NOT IMPROPERLY INFLATED NOR WAS I APPROACHING OR EXCEEDING THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED SPEED RATING. HAVING TO CROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO SAFETY, DURING RUSH HOUR ON AN INTERSTATE WAS MORE THAN HAZARDOUS, HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE PREVENTING INJURY TO MYSELF, MY PASSENGER, OR OTHER COMMUTERS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE THE TIRE WAS PURCHASED WHO INFORMED ME THAT I HAD NO RECOURSE THROUGH THEIR ESTABLISHMENT OR THE MANUFACTURER. THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A LEGITIMATE STATEMENT CONSIDERING THAT THIS TYPE OF DEFECT ENDANGERS SO MANY LIVES. PLEASE INVESTIAGE THIS INCIDENT AND ADVISE ME WHAT OTHER COURSE OF ACTION IS AVAILABLE.*AK (TIRESIZE: P215/55R16)
