Ben47: Many of these mechanical issues discussed are minor and easily repaired by the DIY mechanic and I laugh at many as well... But have you noticed how many forum members have taken their cars to Chrysler mechanics with serious problems and had issues with the "REPAIR" or attempted "REPAIR" ? Heck, most here in LA, CA. haven't even looked under the hood...

I think that's how this thread was started... TSB, 1st gear syncho replacement, tranny is worse, or no better since "REPAIR" at the Chrysler dealership...

And yes, if you are dissatisfied with the "FIVE STAR" Chrysler Service or do not have access to a Chrysler dealership for this specific car... DC will authorize a MB dealership to do the repairs... You may have to scream a little bit, but it will be approved...
