HORNS BLARING , WIPERS GOING, WASHER FLUID SQUIRTING REAR WIPER MOVING AND WASHER FLUID SPRAYING. CAR JUST CAME BACK AFTER FOUR WEEKS AT DEALER THAT COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM, WITH CHRYSLERS STAR ASSISTANCE THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE REPLACED THE IGNITION MODULE AND TWO KEY FOBS. DID NOT FIX ORIGINAL PROBLEM. I HAVE LOGGED OVER FORTY HOURS OF PHONE CONVERSATION TALKING TO CHRYSLERS CUSTOMER CASE MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS AS WELL AS DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR ,SERVICE MANAGER AND MECHANICS. THERE HAS BEEN A COMPLETE DISCONNECT BETWEEN NORMAL HUMAN CARING AND THE ROBOT LIKE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

LAWYERS AFTER PUNITIVE DAMAGES ONLY DON'T TAKE CASES FOR VEHICLES THAT WERE PRODUCED BEFORE CHRYSLER S BANKRUPTCY. I DON'T BLAME THEM. TIPM MODULES SEEM TO BE RECALLED FOR VEHICLES AFTER BANKRUPTCY. I WONDER IF PEOPLE REMEMBER 1994 DODGE CARAVAN REAR LATCHES. SAME OLD CHRYSLER PROFITS BEFORE HUMAN LIVES. *TR

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
