| I purchased a brand new 2007 dodge durango on 9/21/07 from hatch motor company in snowflake, az. i had this vehicle for 1 1/2 weeks when it started giving me problems and i reported it to the company and they told me to bring it in. the gas gauge, hazard lights, signal lights, high and low beam lights went out. when i took the vehicle in, they checked it and they said it was the cluster box and they had to order a new one. i asked them if they could provide me with a rental because the truck was hazardous to drive home. they told me that they could not provide me one unless i purchased the chrysler contract or unless i paid for one. i did not have any money at the time because i had to make a down payment for the vehicle. i explained my situation to them and they still would not provide one for me. this was suppose to be a brand new vehicle. i had to drive my truck back home which is over 250 miles in the dark with my three children. they would not help me in any way. i thought i would report this to you due to the serious hazard and they let me drive it home. *tr | |||
