Re: Dang it Chrysler!!!
Several issue came to light after my recent purchase...2005 Limited Coupe
Without going into any details or even a short summary, or the BS info before and after from the salesman and higher ups.... read the different sections of this forum before buying, and or looked a little closer before signing on the dotted line... would not be a XFire owner.
With this said..... didn't check to see if the horn worked (my fault for not checking) .... wife was taking it to another location for another issue, and I was picking her up there and taking her to work...... during her drive there she tried the horn.... nothing.
This past Monday dropped it off at the Dealership with a list of additional concerns.... received a loaner in return..... late Wed. GM called..... this and that has been addressed, (didn't go over the list completely).... the Horn had to be specialed ordered and as of 4 pm had not arrived...... here it is Sat morning and haven't heard any more...... assume it still has not arrived..... wonder if and when it's done, if the horn will be a new one, or one from a junk yard.
It's disappointing to read the limitation of available replacement parts for all model years. After all..... **** happens from time to time, and things need to be replaced for whatever reason...... what is a nice car, and can put a smile on one's face..... can quickly turn around.
Damn, it had less than 38K on it...... personally I believe no one at the dealership went over the car before putting it up for sale (it's a Chrysler Dealership), or if they did, just ignored a handful of short comings, for whatever reason.
The only good thing..... given a loaner (2011 Altima).... as soon as I drove it off..... ding, ding.... have 47 miles before gas runs out (LOL).... drove it home and it's sat on the driveway waiting to be returned.
When I get it back..... will probably attempt to sell it..... and it will be in 100% better overall condition than when I bought it on 12/27/2010, including some paint work on my dime right off the bat, (dealer declined to address that and gave some BS reason for that decision).... have no one to blame but myself for signing on the dotted line.
Just thought I'd vent and give my 2 cents.
