Well I search and tried everything I could see that could relate to my issue, and the dealer told me the same thing. Finally after about 6 months I bit the bullet, and called Chrysler customer service. And to my amazement they were very helpful. U explained how I had purchased extended warranty with Chrysler and this was the only part not covered. In the end I paid a $500 deducable and they picked up the rest
So give it a go. Call the 1800 number. After I called them it was fixed in less than a week!
