  I'VE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 5 MONTHS AND IT HAS BEEN NOTHER BUT PROBLEMS FOR ME. I UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN BUYING A USED VEHICLE THERE IS ALWAYS RISK INVOLVED, BUT AT 50,000 MILES (WHICH IS WHAT I BOUGHT IT AT) THERE SHOULD NOT BE THAT MANY EXPENSIVE PROBLEMS IN 5 MONTHS! CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO ACCEPT ANY OF THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS VEHICLE THAT THEY MANUFACTURED, AND THAT IS WRONG. I HOPE BY FILING THIS COMPLAINT, SOMETHING GETS DONE! *AK
