According to their letter, unfortunately, the business has not agreed to resolve your complaint. Our informal dispute resolution process is voluntary and involves compromise by both sides.

However, the information that you have provided will be retained in our complaint system and may be used to help us identify patterns of bad business practices. If you wish to pursue this matter further, small claims court may be an option if the amount involved is under $3,000.

The car is my son's. he is 19. He can?T drive a rental car at his age. Had they offered the money they were willing to spend on a rental car, I could have bought him a used car and sold the Chrysler for the amount owed. This has been a waste of time and your powerless.

I have made contact with a local Chrysler deal about both recalls on my 300 with no results. I'm told they will contact me when parts are available, but they never call. I will not be held responsible for any cost if these recall issues do damage to my own vehichle or pasender in my vehicle. I have tried numeriour times to get these issues rectified and have been unable to make headway with the dealership.
