I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE ABS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES TO DATE AND IS NOW BEGINNING TO FAIL ONCE AGAIN. I HAVE HAD NUMERSOUS REPAIRS TO THE A/C SYSTEM. THEW FIRST WAS IN 1996 ($472). THE SECOND IN 1998 ($850). THE THIRD ALSO IN 1998 ($286). THE FOURTH AGAIN IN 1998 ($673). THE FIFTH IN 1999 ($178). THE SIXTH IN 2000 ($688). SO, TO DATE, I HAVE SPENT OVER $3000.00 HAVING THE A/C REPAIRED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FREQUENCY OF REPAIRS AND THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THESE REPAIRS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SUGGESTS THAT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPONENT THAT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER. TO SUMMARIZE, I HAVE HAD FREQUENT AND EXCESSIVE PROBLEMS WITH BOTH THE ABS AND A/C SYSTEMS. THANK YOU FOR YOU ATTENTION.

WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. DURING THE WARMER MONTHS, WE HAVE HAD TO ADD FREON ABOUT EVERY 2 MONTHS. WE HAVE HAD TO ADD FREON TO THE SYSTEM AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE 8/98, WHICH IS EXCESSIVE BECAUSE THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IS GENERALLY ONLY USED DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS. EARLIER AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM CHECKS COULD NOT DETECT WHERE THE LEAK WAS OCCURING. A RECENT CHECK IN APRIL RESULTED IN A DIAGNOSIS OF AN EVAPORATOR PROBLEM. THE FIRESTONE REPAIR SHOP MANAGER STATED THAT AIR CONDITIONER PROBLEMS WERE COMMON FOR THE PLYMOUTH/CHRYSLER MINIVANS. *AK

THE PASSENGER DOOR HAS FLUNG OPEN, WHILE DRIVING, TWICE. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY PROBLEM, WHILE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER SAYS THAT IT IS NOT A RECALLED ITEM, SO THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS IT. THEY ALSO WILL NOT GIVE ME A SUPERVISOR TO TALK TO ABOUT THE MATTER. NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES A VEHICLE HAS ON IT, AS LONG AS IT IS MAINTAINED WELL, KEEP IN GOOD CONDITION, AND HAS NOT BEEN IN A WRECK, I WOULD THINK THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IT IS DANGEROUS. I QUOTE A RECALL OF THE JEEP CHEROKEE, 1993 ACTION NUMBER PE95047 THERE WAS A FAILURE OF THE DOOR ASSEMBLY WELDS. THIS IS THE SAME YEAR AND THE SAME COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURED THIS VEHICLE I OWN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION! FOR INFORMATION: BRAD DAVIS, AT CUSTOMER CENTER TOLL FREE NUMBER 1-800-992-1997 CHRYSLER CORPORATION TOLD ME THAT HE CALLS IT, AS TO WHETHER THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION WILL ACCEPT A CLAIM FOR THE FIXING OF THIS PROBLEM. HE WOULD NOT GIVE ME A SUPERVISOR TO SPEAK WITH ABOUT THE MATTER. HE SAID HE MADE THE DECISIONS. BILLY THE SERVICE MANAGER, AT RICK JUSTICE, 1105 SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD, MERIDIAN, MS. SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT FILE IT WITH CHRYSLER. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. IT ISN'T A SAFETY MATTER. ALSO, THE VEHICLE HAS TOO MANY MILES ON IT. BOTH BRAD AND BILLY SAID THIS. MILEAGE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BODY, IF THE CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED. I STILL CONTEND THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. *AK
