On March 5, 2012 I was required to pay $95. 00 for a full diagnostic to satisfy [xxx] ([xxx] corporate office). The service was rendered by capital Chrysler 200 waterfield ridge place, garner nc 27529. The service rep [xxx] and service manager [xxx] informed me that the catalytic converter replacement looked used due to the rust on it and was causing other mechanical failures in my vehicle but would not confirm this in writing. I do not have an extra $1000. 25 sitting around to pay for a part that Chrysler is well aware of it being defective or used. Chrysler settled a lawsuit in 2005-6 with the u. S. Environmental protection agency for the defective catalytic converter. In closing, as a resolution to this matter I would like all repairs related to this matter replaced at no expense to me by a certified Chrysler dealership of my choosing. . Read more...
I purchased a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica in may 2007 w/ 20,134 miles on it. It started a tapping noise at the beginning of Aug 2008 (apprx 40,840 miles) and went into the shop on 08/04/08. The dealership called me on 08/08/08 to p/u my vehicle and reported that the noise was due to my using non-mopar oil and filter (they changed the oil and filter that day). The car was still making the noise when I started it but the mechanic informed me that "well it sounds better than it did, you just need to drive it for a few days". I left the dealership and drove it the 35 miles home. By the time I got home the noise was worse than ever. My husband hauled the car back to the dealership 08/11/08 (all tow drivers picked by roadside assistance wanted at least $100 over the $100 daimler warranty pays). The car sat there for a week and when I tried to p/u a rental car 08/15/08, the service manager stated that my car was drivable even though they had just ordered new lifters. He also told this to daimler so they would only pay for 5 days rental which of course did not cover the full time they took to complete the repairs on 08/22/08. The noise was gone when I got it that day. On 09/06/08 the noise started again and is now in the shop (a different dealership this time) for the 3rd time in a month for the same problem.
