2007 Chrysler Aspen 4X2

ON MAY 1ST 2017 I WAS ON THE MARKET FOR A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE FOR MY CHILDREN AND I. MY BOYFRIEND SUGGESTED AUTO DEALS LLC. ON 12838 SAN PEDRO IN SAN ANTONIO, WHERE HIS COUSIN RICHARD MCKINNEY IS A SALESMAN. MY BOYFRIEND AND I ARRIVED AT 1:30 PM AND STAYED TILL 6PM THAT SAME DAY FILLING OUT PAPERWORK AND LOOKING AT VEHICLES. RICHARD'S COWORKER DOUG ASSISTED US ON THIS FIRST DAY. WE DECIDED TO GO HOME AND SLEEP ON IT AND SEE THE NEW SHIPMENT THE NEXT DAY AS I WAS UNSATISFIED WITH THE CURRENT OPTIONS. AS WE DECIDED TO LEAVE THE SUPERVISOR ALEX SINNO SAID "COME BACK TOMORROW AND I WILL GIVE YOU A YEAR WARRANTY". WHEN WE RETURNED THE NEXT MORNING WITH THE $700 WE WERE TOLD WE NEEDED TO DRIVE OFF THE LOT, WE WERE THEN TOLD THAT THE BOSS WAS ASKING FOR $1000 DOWN PLUS INSURANCE THAT THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IN HOUSE ON AN IOU THAT WE WERE TO PAYBACK THAT FRIDAY. FEELING UNEASY BUT STILL DESPERATE WE SCRAPED TOGETHER THE EXTRA $300 PLUS INDEBTED OURSELVES FOR THE IN HOUSE INSURANCE. SHORTLY AFTER WE DROVE OFF THE LOT ON THE WAY HOME ON MAY 2ND 2017 THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND I NOTICE THAT IT IS OUT OF GAS AS WELL. AFTER FUELING UP, I DRIVE OVER TO OUR FAMILY MECHANIC. HE INFORMS ME OF A MULTITUDE OF ISSUES INCLUDING THE RADIATOR BEING BONE DRY, AND GASKETS NEEDING REPLACEMENTS. I ALSO NOTICE I CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS AND SEE THAT THERE ARE OVER 20 FUSES MISSING. WE MANAGE TO MAKE IT HOME BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP IS CLOSED AT THIS POINT SO WE CALL IN THE MORNING. FOR A WHOLE WEEK WE CALL REPEATEDLY DAILY BUT NEVER MAKE IT PAST THE RECEPTIONIST AND NEVER RECEIVE A CALL BACK. DURING THE WEEK I TAKE IT TO A NEARBY ADVANCE AUTO AND AUTO ZONE, WHERE THE VEHICLE IS PUT ON THE COMPUTER. I ENDED UP BUYING COOLANT AND AN IGNITION COIL, AS WELL AS RECEIVED COPIES OF RECEIPTS AND DIAGNOSTICS ON THEIR MACHINES.ON MAY 5TH WE ALSO PAYED BACK THE I.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X2. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND EXITING THE LOT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE A RELAY SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIR. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED, THE ENGINE COULD BE RESTARTED AFTER THE INITIAL ATTEMPT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

THE CAR WAS IDLING WHILE WAITING TO FOLLOW ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS THEN PUT INTO DRIVE, AT WHICH POINT ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTION CEASED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE RADIO, WHICH WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE ENGINE ALSO STOPPED RUNNING. FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALL ACTION INITIATED FOR DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH. IN SEPTEMBER, I HAD STOPPED FOR GAS AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR TO START IT, THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT MOVE, AS THOUGH I HAD AN INCORRECT KEY. AGAIN, SOMEHOW ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER THE KEY TURNED. THERE IS A DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION OCCURRING IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING AND WE HEARD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE, GOOD THING WE WERE DRIVING TOWARDS DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE WHEN THE CLICKING GOT WORSE AND WORSE. WHEN WE GOT TO DEALER WE TOLD THEM THAT WE HEARD WEIRD NOISES COMING FROM UNDER HOOD. IT CAME OUT BEING THAT 2 STUDS FROM REAR OF ENGINE FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAVE BROKEN AND FALLEN OFF. THEY SAID IF WE CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THE 2 STUDS BROKEN THAT THE WHOLE ENGINE MIGHT FAIL AND U COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THAT THE VALVES COULD PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE ENGINE IF DRIVEN WITH EXHAUST LEAK OR ANOTHER SCENARIO IS THAT THE EXHAUST LEAKED COULD CAUSE A FIRE . I WENT ONLINE TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE RECORDED THAT THE STUDS HAVE BROKEN AND ITS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH DODGE RAMS, DODGE DURANGOS, AND CHRYSLER ASPENS. THEY SAID THAT HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE STUDS. WERE GONNA SPEND 450 FOR 2 BROKEN STUDS. HOPEFULLY WE HAVE NO DAMAGE IN THE VALVES. PLEASE MAKE CHRYSLER DO A RECALL ON THERE ENGINE SO THEY CAN FIX THE STUD PROBLEMS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THANK U *TR
