Description of the problem | Shortly after buying this car it started to show oil on the floor, most cars leak a little thought little of it. January 15 i seen a large wet spot on floor and investigated it to find it was the left rear corner of the head. Talked to chrysler about this and was informed that it was very common. I reminded them that there was only 32000 miles on the car. Was informed i was out of warranty and they would go to 50% on the total bill. I've seen where there are a lot longer warranties that are kept secret from us, if this is so can you get me to the place that i have to be to find this info so that i might get this rectified? If no recall is going to ever happen on an item that has been known to be defective for a long time what are we to do?*ak |
