THIS FORM IS NOT USER FRIENDLY. YOU ARE PRECLUDED FROM GOING BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREENS WITHOUT LOSING INFORMATION. I JUST FILLED OUT A FORM COMPLETELY, AND WAS CUT OFF BEFORE I COULD ADD COMMENTS! PLEASE CROSS REFERENCE MY INFORMATION. MY ADDITONAL COMMENT IS THAT GIVEN THAT MY CAR IS LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD, I FEEL THAT I HAVE HAD MAJOR REPAIR ITEMS, SUCH AS A/C COMPRESSOR/ BRAKE ROTORS/TIE RODS). IF A CAR IS MADE TO LAST, THESE PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT ARISE. THE DEALERSHIPS VIEW IS THAT A 4 YEAR CAR WITH 27,000 MILES IS WORN OUT AND THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS. MY OTHER CAR IS A SATURN AND AFTER 6 YEARS I HAVE HAD ZERO REPAIRS ASIDE FROM NORMAL MAINTENANCE. CHRYSLER MAKES BAD PRODUCTS, AND DOESN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR CARS. PLEASE BE ON ALERT THAT THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY PROBLEMS ARISING WITH CIRRUS MODELS. I HAVE DEALT WITH TAMIAMI CHRYSLER IN MIAMI 305 266-5500 WHO ARE INCOMPETENT, LIARS AND CROOKS. COME DOWN HARD ON CHRYSLER. *AK

CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JERK HARD, RESULTING IN BACK INJURIES TO THE CONSUMER. 3 DEALERSHIPS HAVE REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *AK

WARRANTY RECALL OUT, BUT WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF A PROBLEM, AND WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND IF CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO THEIR CUSTOMERS TO NOTIFY AND FIX THE PROBLEM. ALSO, CHRYSLER IS NOT WILLING TO REPLACE THE ARM ON THE OTHER SIDE UNTIL IT FAILS. WHAT IF IT FAILS WHILE WE ARE DRIVING AT 60 MPH WITH OUR BABY IN THE BACK OF OUR CAR? I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT I CAN TRUST CHRYSLER WITH MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. *AK
