Complete replacement of the cooling system in my car. At the time I only had 39000 miles on it. I just want to know if you think my manufacturer warranty from chrysler should have covered this repair. My warranty had expired at 36000 miles, even though I had only owned the car for 2 1/2 years. I have never had a radiator replacement on a car with so few miles. I am asking this question because I have had several very expensive and unusual parts replacement recently on this car., ie the main engine wiring harness and the power control module. I had already had the powersteering unit replaced and the fuel pump replaced as part of a dealer recall. This seems like a lot of expensive major repairs for a car with less that is less than 5 years old.
