#444 of 780 Frustrated with Chrylser by dkojnik

Jul 26, 2011 (6:48 am)

I am amazed at the lack of customer support from Chrysler, see my email below and Chrysler's response. My concern was sent back to the same person/department that has been ignoring me in the first place.
 
Thank you for contacting the Chrysler Customer Assistance Center in
regards to your 2004 Pacifica Sport.
 
I am sorry to learn of the issues you have experienced with your
vehicle, as well as the difficulty encountered attempting to speak with
your Case Manager. Your concerns, particularly in view of the
inconvenience involved in this issue, is understandable and I appreciate
the time and effort you took to bring this matter to my attention.
 
I have updated your file to reflect the information provided in your
recent email message. It will be provided to your Case Manager for their
attention and review.
 
Thanks again for your email, David.
 
Sincerely,
 
Jeff

Brief Description:
Customer treatment from Chrysler
Comments:
Approximately 2 weeks ago my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica was diagnosed with a
 broken engine cradle. I was shocked that a vehicle with only 60k miles
 would require such a major repair. As I felt this was a highly unusual
part
 to fail, I did some research and realized I was not the only one to
 experience issues with the engine cradle. Chrysler has even extended
the
 warranty on the 2004-2005 Chrysler Pacifica for the engine cradle to 10
 years or 150K miles for vehicles that have operated in areas of high
road
 salt usage (this Pacifica has about 20,000 miles in those areas). Upon
 informing my dealer that it may be covered, I was told there is no
record
 of this type of warranty extension and I should call Chrysler Customer
 Service and initiate a claim. Upon calling customer service I was told
that
 no such warranty extension exists (even though my dealer and I both now
 have a copy of the warranty from another Chrysler Pacifica owner). I
 proceeded to contact the claims department and my information was
submitted
 to Ricky in the claims office, within a few days he called and told my
wife
 he would be willing to cover the repair under a 70k warranty until he
 realized I was not the original owner. I did not understand what the
 warranty coverage had to do with the vehicle being with the original
owner
 (the local dealer told me the only coverage I had left was an extended
 warranty on the EGR valve, this coverage still applied to me being the
 second owner) and wished to discuss the issue with him further. After 4
 attempts to contact him with no return of my phone calls I spoke with
 another agent who told me she would email him and ask to return my
calls.
 On 22 July 2011, frustrated and out of options I reached Tristan and
 explained my frustration and wished to speak with a supervisor/manager.
I
 was told they are all in a meeting for the next hour and he would pass
the
 information on so someone would contact me in 1-2 hours. That day has
come
 and gone. It amazes me how a company can treat its customers with such
 disrespect. One of the comments made to me by a Chrysler representative
 was that I have not had a “relationship” with Chrysler. A
“relationship”
 works both ways. I have only owned this car for about 6 months and put
less
 than 6k miles on it, hardly enough time to build a "relationship" but
the
 way Chrysler has acted in this situation raises serious doubts on
whether I
 would consider continuing this "relationship" with a new car purchase.
My
 previous “relationship” with Chrysler consisted of purchasing a brand
new
 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee at age 23 which I happily owned for 10 years
and
 drove for over 85 thousand miles with no major troubles, I expected my
 Pacifica to do the same.

I wonder if a letter from a lawyer would help. I'm not saying you should but if you drove the car and had an accident because of the broken engine cradle maybe you could own Chrysler for not listening. Also I was NOT the original owner of my Pacifica It had 30000 miles when I bought it. They replaced mine even though I was the second owner

Charger3, Thanks for posting this information. Will you please e-mail me a copy of the letter from Chrysler also to shines2030yahoo.com. I live in a high salt area and am having problems with my engine cradle now. Thanks!

Can I also get a copy of this letter to estellaramoltgmail.com? I have a 2004 Pacifica with 65,000 miles and was just told my engine cradle is completely rusted out.

I just returned from the shop today and was told I have the same issue on my 2004 Pacifica and the car should not be driven. Could you email me a copy of the letter to dpcharmincomcast.net?
Thanks
