WE COMPALINED TO OUR LOCAL SERVICE DEALER, CROTON DODGE IN CROTON NY OF A WATER LEAK FROM THE CAR WASH, THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT THE ARM SUPPORTING CONVERTIBLE ROOF HAD CRACKED COMPLETELY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. DODGE SAYS THAT BECAUSE IT IS A FRAME PROBLEM AND BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. SINCE WHEN DOES A VEHICLE OWNER HAVE TO PROTECT HIMSELF FROM METAL FAILURE OF A CAR FRAME? ISN'T IT REASONABLE TO EXPECT A CAR FRAME TO LAST THE LIFE OF A CAR? CROTON DODGE HAS ESTIMATED THIS JOB TO COST WELL IN EXCESS OF $2500. YOUR ASSISTANCEW IS GREATKY APPRECIATED. *AK

LARGE RUBBER BOOT COVER DETACHES AT HIGH SPEEDS AND FLYS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. HELD ON ONLY WITH 2 SMALL VELCRO TABS. DEALER INSTALLATION AND RECALL FOR NEW INSTRUCTION STICKER DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM

CALLLED DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES REGARDIGNG THE FAILURE OF THE SEAT BELT. DEALER STATES NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND ESTIMATES REPAIR COSTING 60-300 TO FIX, I REQUESTED REPEATEDTLY FOR A CHRYSLER REP TO CONTACT ME RGARDING THIS PROBLEM AS I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY BUT THEY WILL NOT REPAIR WITHOUT AN ESTIMATE FROM THE DEALER. DUE TO THE LACK OF RESPONSE FORM MIKE SHAD, ICONTACTED FRANK GRIFFIN CHRYLSER IN ORANGE PARK, FL BUT THEY DO NOT RETURN MY CALLS EITHER. CHRYSLER MAY OR MAY NOT REPAIR PROBLEM DEPENDENT ON ESTIMATE BUT DELAERS SEEM UNWILLING TO EVEN PROVIDE THAT. MY REFERENCE NUMBER AT CHRYSLER IS 4406161 AS I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASE DATE. *AK
