Chrysler Jeep has a better idea


No, Ford already has this title.

Chrysler to recall 630,000 SUVs worldwide


Acceptable losses?

Chrysler refuses to recall 2.7 million Jeep SUVs


No! Sorry Jeep, Ford already has staked a claim on this title also.

Oh, that’s right you also have both titles.

Well.

How about this one?

Guinea pig.

Chrysler 5 star dealer?

Yes, I have two Chrysler cars (P T Cruisers).

No, I am no longer a Jeep and/or a Chrysler lover.

Thank goodness I never buy new because in my work of some forty years  I have seen new products.

Within the last 25 years buying new is being a guinea pig, only you pay to test their product.

Then and only if enough people complain or die, there might be a recall?

I took a used 2001 Cruiser over to a 5 star Chrysler dealer across the river, explained that it is a 2nd car so no rush, make it trustworthy for her to safely drive and left the car.

After paying the bill and following her back to the house, I find out that they said to her that it still has an electrical problem and for another $200 plus dollars they will fix it?

I fixed the problem by repairing wiring to the signal lights and the battery ground to the firewall, $19.95.

Sometime later I took the other cruiser 2006 over to another 5 star Chrysler dealer, problem with the sensors. 4 1/2 hours later after replacing one sensor, paying the bill I find out that the car is still acting up.

I fixed it myself with the help of the internet, found broken plastic air valve between air filter and fuel system $7.

Another time I took this car to another 5 star dealer because the wipers were doing whatever they felt like doing whenever they felt like doing it?

I found the problem again on the internet however, because it was within the steering wheel column, I did not feel comfortable doing this what turned out to be a 20 minute job.

I was at the dealers for 6 1/2 hours, after paying the bill and while entering it into my computer maintenance page, I see that I paid a lot of money to this dealer for them to, without my permission, go over the car with a fine tooth comb, so to speak, checking everything that they wanted to have me come back to do?

What they wanted to do and for how much, I do not know because nothing was all necessary?

So, I rechecked all of my Chrysler bills and guess what?

They all do the same thing just to get deeper into your pockets.

I am still extremely upset with the Chrysler 5 star dealer that I bought the 2nd car from because, like with the 2001, I asked them to look over the car and replace anything that could be a problem while there because she is the driver.

The first visit back for an oil change, a mechanic came into the waiting room showed me the air filter, or what was an air filter and wanted to change it, why was this not done before it left the service department the first time?

OK, I blamed me for not rechecking their work before getting the car in the first place.

On the 2nd and last visit ever, to this 5 star dealer for an oil change, the “head mechanic”, the one that I had asked to check over the car before I took it home the first time, told me that if we did not leave the car to replace the front end we would be dying in an accident real soon?

Took it to sears, they could not find a real problem however, while it was in the shop I had then balance the front end.

Wal*Mart fixed the problem with new tires.

The tires were on the car because it came down from snow country.

Wonder why we are having a problem getting people to buy “Made in the good old USA?”
