as we discussed, they are doing a recall, of sorts, on the radiator hose issue. did mine friday and all was well.

well sort of...the dealership has a new owner and most of the driveway crew is new. had a 1pm appt. and at 1:15 the car is still sitting in the driveway. politely inquired about the sudden resignation of the entire service staff as not even one could be found to lift the hood and see that the hose is ok. finally, one was able to leave his deathbed to verify my determination that the car was fine....but...

they asked me a couple of time if i had gotten a card in the mail about the recall. no, sez i; why??? oh, nothing sez they. just nothing.

today, i get the card in the mail from chrysler and it simply asks that, if the work was done, i note that and send it back. i strongly suspect that d.c. is back-checking the dealers on the recall/repair. i think it's good that they're checking, bad that they have to.
