Description of the problem | As i was driving my car shut-off and started back up on it's own when i was starting from a red light. Going up the next hill it did it after stopping at a stop sign. Over the next few days it would do this at different times and different speeds. At times it would not start back up on it's own i had to turn the key. Eventually, it starting shutting off at the garage i sent it to while being run on machines. It turned out to be a computer problem that required a new computer be put in. I am filing this incident because for the 2007 model of the same car there was a recall and free replacement of the computer. I have been told by an chrysler maintenance worker that the reason the 2007 was covered was that the sub-contractor for that year was participating with chrysler to pay for the recall or paying it themselves. However, the sub-contractor for the 2006 model was not. I believe chrysler is responsible for their end product and should pay for my new computer and installation. This work cost me over $2,100 for a problem that they knew about. My mechanic was told by one chrysler dealer that there just have not been enough 2006 models with the 2007 issue to warrant a recall. They even provided the chrysler mechanic to install the computer and reset it for the shop i had the work performed. |
