WE ARE NOW ABOUT TO PUT IN OUR 3RD 95 CIRRUS TRANSMISSION AND 2ND 95 CONCORDE TRANSMISSION AND FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. I HAVE SHELLED OUT NEARLY $12,000 BETWEEN THE TWO CARS IN THE LAST 6 YEARS FOR REPEATED FAILURES IN ENGINES, WATER PUMPS, STEERING ASSEMBLY FAILURES, TRANSMISSIONS, BRAKE SYSTEMS, RADIOS, AIR CONDITIONERS, FUEL RAILS, ALTERNATORS AND COMPUTER PCM'S TO NAME A FEW. BY FAR THE WORST QUALITY CARS AND HIGHEST COST OF OWNERSHIP OF ANY CARS I HAVE OWNED IN THE LAST 30 YEARS. SOMETHING MAJOR GOES WRONG WITH THESE CARS EVERY FEW MONTHS.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE AIR CONDITIONER QUIT COOLING FIRST TWO TIMES DEALER COULD NOT FIND COOLANT LEAK. ON THE SECOND RECHARGE OF THE COOLING SYSTEM THE DEALER ADDED A LEAK DETECTION DYE TO THE SYSTEM SO IF IT QUIT WORKING AGAIN IT WOULD BE EASYER TO FIND LEAK. ON 7 MARCH 2000 WE TESTED THE AIRCONDITIONER, AND AGAIN IT DID NOT WORK. TOOK TO DIFFERENT DEALER , THEY FOUND THE LEAK IN THE EVAPORATER CORE WHICH WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER DID REPAIR AT NO COST TO ME. BUT THE FIRST TWO TIME I HAD TO PAY FOR CHARGING THE SYSTEM. I NEED TO KNOW HOW GET REIMBURSED FOR THOSE EXPENSES SINCE IT WAS A WARRANTY ITEM ALL THE TIME. THE CHARGES I INCURRED TOTALED TO $103.58.

FRONT END STRUTS WRE REPLACED AFTER REPORTING CLUNKING NOISE IN FRONT END WHEN CAR WAS PLACED IN REVERSE. ONE YEAR LATER, WHILE ENROUTE FROM PENNSYLVANIA TO WASHINGTON ON VACATION, THE STEERING BROKE WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IN AN UNDERGROUND PARKING LOT IN SOUTH BEND, IN. RACK AND PINION WAS REPAIRED BY DEALERSHIP IN SOUTH BEND. STARTED TO SMELL GAS FUMES IN VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING TO WASHINGTON. TRIED TO GET REPAIRS IN SOUTH DAKOTA BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND A DEALERSHIP WHO WOULD REPAIR IT. LOCATED DEALERSHIP IN PASCO, WASHINTON TOREPAIR THE FUEL LINE WHICH WAS NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY AFTER RACK REPAIR, AS I WAS TOLD BY DEALER. BATTERY EXPLODED WHILE IN PARKING LOT AT LOCAL MALL. AIR CONDITIONER STARTED EMITTING MUSTY SMELL. HAD AIR CONDITIONER CHARGED TWICE AND IT STILL DOESNT SEEM TO HOLD A CHARGE. CAR WOULD NOT START ON 12/3/1999. THINKING IT WAS THE BATTERY, TRIED TO JUMP THE CAR BUT WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE IT MIGHT BE THE TIMING BELT. NOW I FIND THE WATER PUMP LEAKED WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED A BLOWN GASKET. MECHANIC REPORTS LITTLE COMPRESSION IN THREE CYLINDERS AND 1500.00 ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR.

AIR CONDITIONING NOT HOLDING A CHARGE. CAR WAS BROUGHT TO PROFESSIONAL AIR CONDITIONING SHOP SYSTEM EVACUATED AND A DYE PUT IN WITH THE FREON. THE TECHNICHAN INFORMED ME RIGHT AWAY THAT THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS HAD DEFECTS IN THESE SYSTEMS SINCE DAY ONE BUT WILL NOT ADMIT TO IT. HE SAID THAT PRACTICALLY EVERY CONCORDE, INTREPID, CIRRUS, JEEP THAT COMES IN EITHER LEAKS IN ONE OF THE THREE SYSTEM, EVAPORATOR, CONDENSOR, DRYER. CHRYSLER CHARGES $950.00 TO REPLACE THE EVAPORATOR!!!! I CAN'T AFFORD THAT COST AND WILL LOSE SUBSTANTIAL MONEY ON THE SALE OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT A PROPER WORKING AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM.
