I noticed a the ac wasn't working properly back in March. But who needs ac in cold weather. So when the nicer weather finally came it sure would have been nice to keep cool.
My warranty expired in February but the dealership had already replaced the evap tubes on the rear ac unit back in May of 2007 and said if the problem is related they would cover the parts and labor under warranty. Of course it wasn't related and the cost to repair was a wopping $663.00 unbelievable!!! There isn't even 23,000 miles on this vehicle
Why should I be worrying about these kind of problems. I'm sure i'm not the only one being shafted by Chrysler. There are so many problems with the rear ac evaporators that they are on a national backorder. Shouldn't that prompt the industry to send out a recall?
