SERVICE BRAKES
THE ABS PUMP WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE ON AUGUST 30, 2013. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SINCE SEPTEMBER 4, 2013. I HAVE INFORMATION STATING THAT THE PUMP IS COVERED UNDER A LIFETIME WARRANTY AND CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS GIVEN ME THE RUN AROUND ON IT SAYING THAT IT DOES NOT MEAN LIFETIME SINCE IT FAILED AGAIN AFTER THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIR. I AM SORRY BUT I THOUGHT LIFETIME MEANT LIFETIME ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTS THAT I HAVE AND READ. THEY REFUSE TO PROVIDE ME WITH AN ALTERNATE CAR TO DRIVE SO I CAN GET TO WORK STATING THAT IS NOT COVERED EITHER. THEY ARE THE POOREST EXCUSE OF A BUSINESS THAT I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH AND TELL YOU SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH EACH CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE YOU SPEAK TO. THEY CANNOT EVEN TELL THE SAME LIES TWICE. I WAS FIRST INFORMED THAT THEY COULDN'T GET THE PARTS, THEN TOLD THEY WERE ON BACK ORDER AND NOW I AM TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ETA FOR THE PARTS. I WILL NOT ADVISE ANYONE TO PURCHASE ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS SINCE THEY DO NOT HONOR WARRANTIES OR STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.
