| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On 3/16/06 the engine in my 1996 dodge intrepid caught on fire out of the blue. this car only had 60,000-70,000 miles on it. an investigator for chrysler corp. looked at the car and filed a report with chrysler corp. apparently there was a recall in 1998 having to do with fuel leaking from the fuel injection rail or o-rings which i was never aware of. chrysler denied my claim and stated that they had sent me a notice in feb. 1999 at my current residence, although we did not even close on my house until may 1999. i never received a notice, and this fire was a result of a fuel leakage. when i called the customer claims resolution dept. and explained that i never knew about the recall etc. i was told that once chrysler makes a decision to deny a claim there can no rebuttal, and that i would need to contact a lawyer if i wanted to go any further in resolving this. needless to say it would cost a lot to get a lawyer so i am stuck paying the costs to repair the engine which was a result of a defect caused by the manufacturer. *nm |
