1992 PLYMOUTH SUNDANCE

SUSEPNSION DEFECT ON MY 1992 PLYMOUTH SUNDANCE I WAS TOLD BY THREE MECHANICS THAT THEY ARE ALL DEFECTIVE AND THAT CAR IS NOT SAFE CHRYSLER SAYS THEY HAVE NO SUCH KNOWLEGED OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS YEAR CAR

Mileage: 116,000

I BOUGHT A NEW PLYMOUTH SUNDANCE IN MAY, 1992. A FEW YEARS LATER THE PAINT CRACKED AND BEGAN TO PEEL OFF ESPECIALLY AFTER A HARD RAIN.I TOOK THE CAR TO D&M CHRYSLER WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THE SERVICE DEPT SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I THEN TOOK PICTURES OF THE CAR AND SENT A COMPLAINT TO CHRYSLER CORP. THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THEY SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPT AT D&M AND WERE TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY BRUSHING SNOW OFF OF THE CAR. THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. THE CAR IS ALL RUSTED NOW AND TODAY I NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW IS SEPERATED FROM THE ROOF AT THE TOP BECAUSE THE RUBBER WON'T STICK TO THE RUSTED ROOF. THERE IS ABOUT A 1/4" GAP. I FEEL THIS HAS NOW BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE REAR WINDOW WILL MOST SURELY POP OUT IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT. I UNDERSTAND FROM VARIOUS WEBSITES THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS, RESULTING IN PASSENGERS BEING THROWN FROM THE CAR WHEN THE REAR WINDOW GAVE WAY.

A FIRE BROKE OUT INSIDE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS TURNED OFF AND PARKED OUTSIDE THE HOUSE, AND ALL WINDOW CLOSED. FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY FIRE DEPARTMENT. FIRE DEPARTMENT INFORMED CONSUMER THAT FIRE MAY HAVE STARTED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. *AK

I WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS ANY TYPE OF RECALL FOR MY CAR THE PAINT ID PEELING OFF ALL OVER AND I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL MOPAR VEHICALS LIKE THIS AND WAS WANTING TO KNOW IF CHRYSTLER IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING WITH THEM.

THE "BLACK CHERRY" PAINT BEGAN TO SCRATCH FROM NORMAL SNOW BRUSH USE. THE PAINT CONTINUED TO CHIP AND CRACK, WHERE I NOW HAVE 30% OF THE PAINT CHIPPED OFF AND METAL IS EXPOSED. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER SUNDANCE'S OF THE SAME COLOR WITH PAINT CHIPPING PREMATURELY. I NOW NEED TO GET MY CAR REPAINTED. NO SAFETY DEFECT . *AK
