Description of the problem | About 2 months ago, my husband noticed that transmission fluid was leaking profusely from our 2006 chrysler 300 touring automobile. The car was only 1-1/2 years old. Since it was still under warranty, we brought it to passport chrysler of alexander and were told by the service dept. Manager that the problem was from a defective cap that was replaced. He said the problem was happening with all of their chrsyler 300's and when i asked them if they had sent out notices to chrysler owners to inform them of the problem, he said that they had not. He told me that "osha was aware of the problem" and didn't think it was significant enough to address. When i called osha, they said they didn't even deal with automobiles. Although they replaced the part in my car, i'm concerned for others who may not notice the problem until it causes permanent damage to the car's transmission. Something should be done about this. |
