WE HAVE HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER NUMEROUS TIMES AND WAS NEVER MADE AWARE THAT THERE WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONERS IN THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE NEVER RECIEVED ANY RECALL LETTERS NOR HAVE I RECIEVED THE ADDENDUM TO THE BASIC WARRANTY FOR THE AIRCONDITIONING. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO OTHER CHYSLER DEALERS SINCE WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE HAS CLOSED. THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE $1,500 TO REPAIR THE AIRCONDITIONING. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE 1995 REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE NEVER OFFERED ANY HELP, OTHER THAN THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. WE HAVE PUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO REPAIRING THE AIRCONDITIONER AND CHRYSLER WAS MADE AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE THE AIR WAS FIXED. I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT CHRYSLER WAS LIABLE FOR THESE REPAIRS. I HAVE JUST SPOKEN WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THE EVAPORATOR IN THE CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWO TIMES AND THE PUMP HAS ALSO. THE VEHICLE ONLY HOLDS AN AIRCONDITIONING CHARGE FOR 3 DAYS. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP I CAN RECIEVE IN HAVING CHRYSLER LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER SINCE 1995 ON A YEARLY BASIS AND THEY HAVE OFFERED NO HELP WHAT SO EVER. AT THIS POINT THEY WILL NOT LOOK AT THE AIR CONDITIONING WITHOUT CHARGING ME. I WAS ALSO NEVER MADE AWARE OF THE THREE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE.

THIS IS INTERROGATIVE. MY WIFE JOINED AN ACCIDENT IN PROGRESS (NO. 3 OF 3 VEHICLES) BECASUE SHE COULDN'T STOP IN TIME. SHE WAS AT 35 MPH STEADY, SAID SHE HAD APPLIED FULL BRAKING. THE NYER WAS PITCHED DOWN WHEN IT CONTACTED THE BUMPER OF A S-10 PICKUP TRUCK. WE HAVE SHEET METAL DAMAGE TO THE HOOD, LEFT FENDER AND EVERYTHING ABOVE THE BUMPER LINE, INCLUDING AC COIL, RADIATOR, FAN, ETC. SHE WAS UNINJURED. NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE SYSTEM CHECK AT ENGINE START HAS ALWAYS BEEN EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE OPERATOR'S HANDBOOK. MY QUESTION IS, SHOULDN'T THE AIRBAGS HAVE DEPLOYED? IF THEY SHOULD HAVE, WHY DIDN'T THEY AND HOW DO I INSURE THE SYSTEM IS OPERATIONAL BEFORE I RETURN THE CAR TO SERVICE?
