They are following the law in regards to lemon law. The dealership is not going to give you a new vehicle unless require to either under the law or told to by the Chrysler corporation. Check your state's lemon law. You are required to have the vehicle repaired 3 times for the same problem.

Direct quote from

The New Jersey Lemon Law applies to new cars, both purchased and leased, which suffer a nonconformity; a defect or condition, which substantially impairs the use, value or safety; that cannot be repaired after three attempts by an authorized manufacturer's dealership. This nonconformity must first occur within the first 24 months or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first. The New Jersey Lemon Law also applies to vehicles that are in the shop for repair twenty (20) or more calendar days during the first year.

It's important to note that even if your car falls outside of the limitations established by the Lemon Law, there are still Federal breach of warranty laws which apply. If your car has an original or extended manufacturer's warranty and has a problem that can't be fixed after three repair attempts, chances are we can help you.

Sure as hell didn't feel like it Tom.........But,,your probably right!

of thier errors.I already have a lawyer working on a no commission until resolved status.They could just have easily have taken the vegicle back and gave me a new one and returned the defective vehicle to Chrysler,since they're the ones that manfactured it..

Kepp your fingers crossed general.......

the ones that manfactured the defective vehicle.....

Dear Mr.Beasley~ I wouldn't expect anything less from Chrysler tech. However, as I mentioned in earlier posts.I do not hold the "dealer" rsponsible as much as I do Chrysler.How do you deliver a vehicle to a dealer to sell in this condition? Where are the quality standards at the factory? This unit should have been tested before the odometer was connected.Then they would have found the problem,"BEFOREHAND"...but no,,this way they save on the cost of the unit being built on the line and let the dealer worry about it.Let the customer suffer the consequences.Why should the paying public have to "get the bugs out" of a new design? This is the growing problem in this country.The public be dammed.I know I won't be around to see it,but,,this country is doomed with your train of thought,sorry!

A Neon is unacceptable. I had some intital problems with my 300C that caused three repairs for the same problem (finally found the problem - a screw was shorting out the PCM). This wasn't a major problem like yours but I was not happy after spending 36K and having a the "Check Engine" light come on the first day I drove it. The dealer provided a loaner each time, a Subaru Imprezza (they also sell Subarus). After the second time, I wouldn't accept that type of car for a loaner. After spending that much on a car and having it in the shop immediately, I wanted a better car. They obliged with no hassle. They gave me a Pacifica which they had to rent since they had none available as loaners off of their lot.

The New Hampshire law is similar, the problem is the cost of getting them to replace the car if they can't fix it. In my partner's case they tried over and over to fix it but they were never able to correct the problem. Audi has tiger teams of expert mechanics that they send in when the dealer can't handle the problem, they weren't able to fix it either. With any other good the company would just replace it but car companies don't do that. You have to take them to arbitration and the arbitrator has to order them to do the right thing. There is no other industry that treats it's customers this way. If you went to Best Buy and bought a $10,000 plasma TV and it didn't work right they would just take it back and give you a replacement or your money back. They don't spend two years trying to fix it before they admit it's a lemon, they replace it on the spot and send the defective unit back to the manufacturer.

This doesn't sound like a troll to me. These things happen, as I stated in a couple of other posts on this thread my business partner had the same kind of problem with an Audi.

I did not write the above. Learn to attribute your quotes correctly.

Chevy Neon? Sounds like a troll...

How do you know that? They may well find and fix the problem and you'll be good as new, or in this case, better than new.

10367mi 3) has 546mi. All have no problems. I?m sure since you are familiar with mistakes (Chevy Neon) there can be wierd problems with a complicated piece of machinery like a car. I?m also sure that Mercedes who if I remember correctly made the tranny for the car knows what they are doing. However I also believe they should take care of it for no charge and since the cavalier has to have power steering either file a law suit or call DC and complain. Whining about it isn?t gonna fix anything. Don?t forget this car is all old Mercedes E Class except the engine. Rest assured they will fix the problem and it?s your fault you paid $44k for a $35k car. If no one paid $44k for the car then it would sell for what it?s worth. Just my .02

Lemon laws vary by state and some are very easy for the consumer to negotiate. Arbitrtion is voluntary for the consumer but binding on the manufacturer.
