47 Brake Disc Rotor problem

I sent a detailed letter to daimler Chrysler after being refused by dealer. They only refunded my money for the cost of the front rotors. They would not reimburse me for the labor charges. I can't understand how they can do that when I had them replaced before the recall. That should show there is a problem. I wrote about all my problems with this "lemon" but I could not claim it was a lemon because I was leasing it at the time and in PA, a vehicle can only be declared a "lemon" when it is purchased, not leased. Very dissatisfied with daimler/Chrysler because they simply washed their hands of the entire problem. I have other problems to report, along with the receipts to prove they were investigated but nothing was ever done to correct the problems. Please contact me to forward all receipts proving complaints before warranty expired. Thank you.
