VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

 The car was driving fine all along. then in the everning when i started to drive, i noticed the transmission can't shift up and the speedometer is gone, and the transmission warning light turns on. dealer called back and wanted to charge $150 for diagnostic service because they claimed to have 3 problems. obviously this is all related so trying to rack up on diagnostic is noticed. then they reported that the problem was a malfunction transmission control module which also shorted out the input and output speed sensors. the total repair bill is $600. and the car has only 52k miles. spoke to chrsyler customer assistance. they do not admit it is a component or design defect. and they will not reimburst or pay for the repair.*ak

 There is a recall on plymouth voyagers 1998 and older doing the same things my 2000 is doing, which is not under recall. the specific problems are: the airbag light has been on constantly for 6 weeks and for the past month the horn does not honk and the cruise control doesn't turn on. i'm very concerned about what exactly is wrong with the airbags, now that i know there is a recall issue for older models. i have not attempted to have it repaired, because i cannot afford to take it to the dealer for repair. *la
