At one point they told me there was not fix Here is what they have done 4/18 Torch Converter replaced. did not work Reprogrammed power train 4/18 Gas additive - Did not work 4/18 5/3 tansmission Friction Modifier 5/3 - Did not work 5/9 Cylinoid pack for Torch Converter which Made it worst, Darin said the factory thinks its a bad Torch converter and is shipping another one. 5/12 Picked up from Dodge and was told to pursue the Lemon Law on this car 5/12. Was told Their is a problem and the factory has no fix for it. ( see purchase order included) 5/15 sent certified letter to diamler defect notification. 5/27 factory called and wanted to attempt more repairs they have representative in town. I was told that, that did not work but they want to keep another day to work which is today) 5/28 Chrysler factory technician came in to work ont the car. this is what he did Applied TSB 02-005-07 - No change (Chrysler tech words) Adjust front and rear suspension -- no changes Shimmed transmission crossmember 1/2” to change angle - a little better Shimmed it another 1/2” - no better (Chrysler tech words) Shimmed it another 3/8” (Chrysler tech words) Swapped out drive shaft for a stock unit - no change (Chrysler tech words) Repositioned rear support links to adjust pinon angle - a little better (Chrysler tech words) Replaced crankshaft damper - good (Chrysler tech words) The dealer ship said I could pick the car up and that it was 90% better. I drove it and Instead of vibrating at 40-45mph it does it 44-46 mph I am getting everything together an contacting an attorney.

Replying to: barbara22 (May 21, 2008 11:12 am) I leased the vehicle because of the cheap price,convianant dealer, tow capasity and it made by a american company. If i was buying and not leasing I would not have gotten this vehicle because of the poor comfort, ride quality, and resale. Have had a number of Duangos, Rams, and a Liberty in the past, really liked them (except MPG). I test drove most all the small SUV's last year and have to say the Honda CRV was my favorite. |
