 My name is rossetta dunbar. this complaint is for the car allowance rebate system. i feel that my car is eligible for the clunkers for cash program. it is a clunker, it is 11 years old. but because the mpg is 22 i was told i don't qualify. why haven't it been made a little easier for those that own old vehicles period? i feel this isn't done fairly and it could be changed. this will be break for those who can't afford to upgrade to better cars. those that are low income workers. *tr

 I am filing this complaint to have on record this incident and seeking questions already posed to daimler chrysler. i informed daimler chrysler by email, that my 1998 dodge stratus caught on fire with my daughter. on may 23, 07 on peoples court a 1997 dodge stratus was burnt to a crisp because of the power steering hose. a porter hill @ 248-944-7134, from daimler chrysler contacted me regarding the date that this incident took place and the location of the vehicle. that they would be coming to see the vehicle. i just received a letter today from daimler chrysler customer claims resolution group with no signatures reading that they have completed their investigations into the incident and they have denied the claim. that further inquiries be directed to the insurance company. i had inquired to know from chrysler if they had other reported incidents with power steering hoses causing fires to this type of vehicle and whether this vehicle had any recalls. yet, no one has answered this question. *tr

 My dodge stratus/98 has recently began giving me a load of problems.it all began summer 2001 with the drivers side door not being able too close.i did not think anything was wrong untill i attempted to continuously close my door and it would not shut.so i looked carefully and the latch that locks the door in place was comming undone.i than tried to make the door shut but the problem was greater than that.the screw was gone and the second was almost out of tact.the labor and screw replacement along with the towe cost me around $60.00.than luck would have it the same incident occured again on the left-hand front passenger side with labor and parts costing $30.00.the problem with my engine began in november, i had noticed that my car oil and engine warning had appeared so i took my car to a mechanic had oil-filters,air-condition fluid,water,& engine all checked and repaired.the mechanic told me all i needed and $360.00 was well invested.i thought all was fine but the service signal for oil and sometimes engine were constantly appearing. i took my car back and the mechanic told me that i needed more oil and when did i last have my car checked,i advised him that it was not long ago he than emphasized that i was lucky my car had not locked.the next week the same thing but another mechanic.he told me my oil was leaking he could not determine from where so he recommended i change my oil-filters,oil brand and put car on machine dialiysis.he did all this totaling $73.00.yet a week later i'm having to place up to three quarts of oil every week.i contacted a local dodge dealer here in eastman ga 31023 and he told me of daimler luck would have it you all had just sent me notification of brake change. i made the complaint and no one contacted me so now today i had a bad accident my car completly stopped leaving me stranded and when my car stopped it jerked me leaving me stunned but concious and my car is now out of service. *ak
