| Description of the problem | Truck has left me stranded multiple times by completely losing power electrical and engine. Dealer claims to have "replaced" computer but chrysler corp confirms dealer just "reflashed" computer. Multiple recalls have occurred and truck was brought into dealer but i know the old parts remain in place! I cannot trust this dealer to do anything they claim to do, proven by comparing the written work order with the records at chysler corporate. We are afraid to drive this vehicle, my wife will not step foot on it and as i am an amputee every time i get stranded(3 times so far) i cannot walk to get help. So i am at the mercy of available cell phone signal or just pray. The dealer had continually stalled us on repairing these problems up until the warranty ran out and then all of a sudden they figured out the "actual" problem and could now fix it for a few thousand!! Dollars. Please help us- we have been fighting for some kind of justice for 6 years! Truck has only 24000 total,actual scary miles on it. Paid cash of approx $50,000 and are so hurt and disgusted with our purchase but most outraged by the treatment and lack of normal human concern for our safety or our lives for that matter. Last remark from dealer owner to us: "not my problem tough s.. T" this vehicle should become chryslet corps problem and we want the timely return of our money asap please please please . This is a nightmare and has caused us both serious health issues |
