| Vehicle was determined to have a failing head gasket by west liberty dodge, 1561 west liberty avenue, pittsburgh, pa 15226, (412) 343-1300. this failure would seem to be covered by nhtsa campaign id number: 89v237000, however neither the dealer nor chrysler will acknowledge the existence of the recall. this repair will cost $500+. would like assistance to make the dealer/manufacture comply with the recall. you may contact me by phone and send my vehicle information to the dealer/manufacturer if necessary. thank you. | |||
