texex91,

Thanks for the "kill them with kindess idea", been there done that... now it's too late to go that route when all they tell me is "show them" the problem, "can't fix what we can't see", and that they've already talked with DC. I keep asking what part of "you never know when it will happen" don't you understand? It took 15 days and 700 miles for the problem to reappear. I'm not making this up because I don't have anything better to do. It's a real problem.

They also say they've been in touch with DC, that's why I asked if anyone out there had names and phone numbers so I could go straight to the top. Of course they won't give me any names or numbers.

diane from this forum, gave me the name and location of the her service manager that walked her through her transmission problem and finally got it fixed. I talked to him myself and he said he would talk to my dealer if they would contact him, which they don't seem interested in doing.

As I said before, I'm taking the car in tomorrow for the dealership's owner to drive it for a "few" days. Not wishing anyone harm... but at this point I truely wish some guy in the biggest and heaviest pickup truck rear ends him at a stop light when he suddenly looses power. Maybe then will these idiots get the idea!!!

I'm going to have a face to face with him and if things don't get solved I'll up it to DC and every TV news station's consumer action line that will listen. Some how this will get fixed.

Side bar: When I first saw the Xfire on a dealers lot it really grabbed me but I told my wife I'd never buy one simply because it was a Chrysler product. Then I found out it is basically a Merc and built in Germany. I couldn't go wrong there, could I?!?!?!? Yeh right... it's being sold and serviced by Chrysler a--holes. I should of stood by my first impression and just walked away.

Sorry for the vent, but $34,000 is alot of money for me. The only way I could afford this vehicle is because I had a creampuff '98 Honda Prelude that was paid off. I got $12,000 for it and put that down on the Xfire.

PS: You're 100% right... just like doctors, car dealers don't even want to talk about anything you learned from an internet forum etc. These people are really afraid of what consumers are learning!!! Salesmen hate it!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
