| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1999 chrysler concorde that has been at the atlanta dodge dealership since march 26. the engine has sludge build-up and will need to be replaced. the air conditioner was serviced before my trip to atlanta, yet i still experienced the unit making noises the day after we arrived. (thankfully, we arrived). within an hour of the ac unit making noises, the engine died on i-20 west. i had the car towed to the dealership. i live in florida and purchased the vehicle only 6 months old ago, it has about 79,000 miles. i had 3 regular oil changes during those 6 months, and one month before my business trip, i had a diagnosis test done at goodyear because the oil light was flashing on-an-off. goodyear also changed the oil that 3rd time. nothing was discovered. as a single parent of 4 kids, i was trying to rebuild my credit after a series of job layoffs. i have had auto rentals for the 5th week now and see no end in sight. luckily, i did purchase an extended warranty, but no one is assuming responsibility for the defect, no one-- the warranty people, thrifty dealership (where purchased) or chrysler! i am sinking further into debt. this is so unfair to the consumer. i am more than angry. i will never purchase a car again without checking ?mycarstats? (i did a very generic online search and had carfax). and will never purchase a dodge or chrysler again. i am now searching for a mechanic?s special to get around town and to work. *jb |
