Re: Fw: Chrysler Improvements and Quality

[RCoronetfreak@xxxxxxx]

I have to chime in loud!  I see these cars  more in one day than most list 
members see them in a year.  I am a Tech for  a Chrysler Dodge dealer.  I also 
own a '06 Charger R/T and a '04 Jeep  Grand Cherokee aside from my classics.  I 
would have to say that Chrysler  products do have high quality.  Most of the 
problems that we see come from  either a customer that doesn't maintain their 
car properly or simple software  issues.  Today I flashed the modules in 2 
different 2 different cars.   Easy fixes for what seemed to be complicated 
problems.  We also repair cars  for the rental car companies and a major East Coast 
auto auction.  Most of  that stuff is where someone abuses and breaks 
something but we force it through  and get waranty to cover it.  
    From what I hear about Toyota is that they are  having serious oiling 
problems.  The Camry's crankshafts break leaving the  front two cylinders 
stationary.  They also have lots of recalls that you  don't hear about.  Basically 
the foreign manufacturer customers don't blink  about doing a timing belt, 
30,000 mile service, front and rear brakes and all 4  tires in 1 trip.  We, well we 
have a hard time getting these idiots to  change their oil which only costs 
$24.95 when not on sale!  
    Most of our major engine problems come from an  idiot screwing up an oil 
change and we get it covered by Chrysler or carbon  build ups from weak 
valvesprings for gas mileage coupled with people babying  their cars and never 
blowing it out good with a run of over 3500 rpms.  
    Sorry if I was a little long winded but I just had  to put in my two 
cents from down here in the trenches!
