SINCE OWNING THIS CAR I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS FROM 0 TO 36,000 MILES MOST WERE MINOR AND WERE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE DEALER (ALTHOUGHI HAD TO TELL THEM WHAT WAS WRONG - THEY REPLACED THE WRONG PARTS THE FIRST TIME!). UNFORTUNATELY, MOST OF THE PROBLEMS OCCURED AFTER 36,000 MILES WERE ON THE ODOMETER AND CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN TOO RESPONSIVE TO MY REQUESTS FOR ASSISTNACE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO FIX IT BUT WHO WANTS TO PAY $75.00 SO THAT A TECHNICIAN CAN LEARN TO FIX MY CAR. IN FRUSTRATION, I HAVE PURCHASED A SHOP MANUAL AND HAVE STARTED TO REPAIR THESE PROBLEMS MYSELF. MY SUN ROOF NEEDS A 10 CENT PLASTIC PART WHICH CHRYSLER DOES NOT STOCK SO IN ORDER TO GET IT I NEED A NEW $500 SUNROOF MECHANISM! NOW, MY TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY (IN ALL GEARS) AND I EITHER NEED TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION, REPLACE THE CLUTCH OR THE CLUTCH CABLE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATOIN ON MY SAGA PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME.

THIS CAR "JUMPS" OUT OF GEAR AND HAS DONE THIS TWICE. THE FIRST TIME, I HAD THE CAR IN PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT ROLLED FORWARD AND HIT MY GARAGE. THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT. THEY MADE ME FEEL AS THOUGH IT WAS ALL IN MY HEAD. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS DRIVING 75 MILES PER HOUR AND IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT AWARE OF THIS. I DID NOT TELL THEM YET BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE ME AND THEY TELL ME EVERYTHING IS FINE. THE LOUD "CHIRPING" NOISE IS SUPPOSEDLY COMING FROM THE DASH. THEY HAVE NOT FIXED IT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHERE IN THE DASH IT IS. HELP!!!
