MY ISSUES RELATES TO EXISTING RECALL # N45/ NHTSA 13V-252. THE RECALL INDICATES THAT VEHICLES WITHOUT A HITCH WILL HAVE A HITCH INSTALLED BY THE DEALER OR IF A HITCH WAS INSTALLED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD THEN CHRYSLER WILL PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE COST. MY QUESTION IS...WHAT ABOUT THE ORIGINAL OWNERS THAT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH THE HITCH AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT? WHY ARE THEY (WE) EXCLUDED FROM ANY REIMBURSEMENT? WHY WERE WE NOT CONSIDERED IN THE RECALL EVALUATION? I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE TYPICAL CORPORATE RUNAROUND BLAMING THEIR INABILITY TO OFFER REIMBURSEMENT ON THE NHTSA RECALL NOTICE. LOOKS LIKE THE BALLS IN YOUR COURT. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS COST US OVER $3,000 IN THE FIRST 1 YEAR AND HALF WE HAVE OWNED IT. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WITH THIS LITTLE OF MILEAGE AND HAD EVERYTHING GO UP. WE FEEL THIS AUTO IS A TOTAL LEMON AND PEOPLE SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS OF THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. WE HAVE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING NOR HAD IT ON ANYTHING OTHER SURFACE OTHER THAN A PAVED ROAD. I'M NOT SURE WHAT IF ANYTHING YOU CAN DO FOR US, BUT LETTING THE NHTSA KNOW ABOUT THIS VEHICLE IS SOME REASSURANCE. WHAT REALLY UPSETS ME IS THAT WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM A SUPPOSED REPUTABLE DEALER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I'D APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN PROVIDE ME ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AS FAR AS ANY OTHER OWNER COMPLAINTS ETC. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED WITHIN SUMMARY. *AK

DRIVER 'S DOOR HINGES BROKE. THE CONSUMER WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE. DEALER WASN'T GOING TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY.*AK

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

(3) 4WD TRANSFER CASE VERY HARD TO GET INTO FULL TIME 4WD. ALSO, VERY HARD TO GET OUT OF ANY 4WD MODE (BACK TO 2WD). INDICATOR SHOWS 2WD MODE WHEN TRUCK STILL IN 4-WD, REQUIRES VIOLENT REVERSING TO GET OUT OF 4WD. (4) LEFT REAR DOOR INTERIOR VINYL PANEL HAS COME APART TWICE, REPAIRED BOTH TIMES.

I AM BEING TOLD IT IS NOT A PROBLEM AND THEREFORE THE MANUFACTER IS NOT GOING TO TAKE ANY RESPONISIBLITY FOR THE $1067 BODY SHOP ESTIMATE OR MY FRAYED NERVES. I FOUND TWO OR 3 OTHER HOOD PROBLEMS LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE BUT CAN TELL IF THEY ARE SIMILAR. THANKS FOR ANY LIGHT YOU CAN SHED ON THIS PROBLEM.
