MY NAME IS [XXX], I AM WRITING TODAY IN HOPE THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION CAN ASSIST ME WITH RESOLVING AN ISSUE I AM HAVING WITH DAIMLERCHRYSLER. BASICALLY I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW DODGE MAGNUM 2005 IN JUNE OF 2004. THE DAY I TOOK IT HOME IT HAD A WEIRD BURNING SMELL. I HAVE CONTACTED EVERYONE POSSIBLE ABOUT THIS MATTER INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT OF DAIMLERCHRYSLER. NO HELP THE DEALER DECIDED TO BAN ME OF THE PROPERTY, STATING THEY COULD NO LONGER ASSIST ME. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE DEALERS MANAGEMENT STAFF AND RESOLVED BY SEVERAL DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS BUT NONE HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE (STILL BURNING) I AM STUCK WITHOUT ANY OTHER OPTION BUT TO PAY FOR A BEAUTIFUL LEMON AND THE LEMON LAW HAS MANY LOOP HOLES, AND IS NOT AS FREE & CLEAR WHEN IT COMES TO INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. I HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT MY CLAIMS & AM DESPERATE FOR HELP. I JUST DON'T WANT TO END UP PAYING THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A CAR, WHICH COULD BURST INTO FLAMES AT ANY TIME. I REALLY JUST WANT MY CAR REPLACED WITH ONE THAT RUNS PROPERLY, NOTHING MORE. PLEASE HELP. *AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
