I CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR THE EVAPORATOR/CONDENSER PROBLEM ON THE AIR CONDITIONER ON THE VEHICLE- THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. AT CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT THE MILEAGE WAS TOO HIGH AND THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO FOR ME- BUT HE IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO SELL ME A NEW VEHICLE AT A "SPECIAL PRICE". THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT JEEP/ DAIMER CHRYSLER HAS FAILED TO COVER ANYTHING UNDER THE RECALL CONDITIONS. THE FIRST TIME WAS A BRAKE PROBLEM THAT I CLEARLY STATED WAS A MFG. DEFECT- THEY INSISTED THAT IT WAS MY DRIVING HABITS, PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR. 2ND PROBLEM WAS A WIRING HARNESS PROBLEM THAT THE DEALER HAD PROBLEMS FINDING AND THEN ATTEMPTED TO CHARGE $$$$ FOR THE REPAIR- AGAIN OUT OF POCKET REPAIR FOR WHAT I FEEL WAS A MFG. DEFECT OR OVERSIGHT ON THE WIRING HARNESS ASSEMBLY. SO I WILL DEFINITELY MAKE THIS MY LAST CHRYSLER/JEEP PURCHASE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.*AK
