| This form is not user friendly. you are precluded from going back to previous screens without losing information. i just filled out a form completely, and was cut off before i could add comments! please cross reference my information. my additonal comment is that given that my car is less than 4 years old, i feel that i have had major repair items, such as a/c compressor/ brake rotors/tie rods). if a car is made to last, these problems should not arise. the dealerships view is that a 4 year car with 27,000 miles is worn out and that's just the way it is. my other car is a saturn and after 6 years i have had zero repairs aside from normal maintenance. chrysler makes bad products, and doesn't stand behind their cars. please be on alert that there are way too many problems arising with cirrus models. i have dealt with tamiami chrysler in miami 305 266-5500 who are incompetent, liars and crooks. come down hard on chrysler. *ak | |||
