When I purchased my car, I purchased it used. I noticed the engine light was on. I was then informed by the dealer that there was a short or a sensor problem. I then took my car to dealership to have them check it out. I was informed that it was a sensor light burn out, and that is was not getting oxygen to the engine. I paid $250. On a tuesday to get that fixed. That wednesday the light was back on. I brought the car back down to the dealership. I was then informed that there is about 3 sensors in the engine, and another one has gone out. And it will cost me another $250. To replace that one. This was all in a 2 day span. I would like to know if there is anything that I can do about this, or will I have to keep paying till all the sensors are replaced, and how will I know if they all have been replaced. Very upset costumer. And I work for chrysler, this is terrible business.

We had to replace the oxygen sensors to be able to get the engine light off and then the ignition fuses started to burn out. They only burn out when you turn right. It also happened at a low speed of 35 miles per hour. Can you tell me what the problem is. Nlm

My car has had several failures in almost every aspect of the car. It has had 4 electrical failures, 3 brake failures, 4 mechanical, and 7 other problems. Basically the car has been a complete loss. I have been fighting chrysler for 3 years and they refuse to help at all. I feel at 60,000 my car is completely unsafe to drive. It has caused one accident in which I still have neck problems. For more information please see my website at www.postalhistorystore.chrysler.htm thank you!

At any time, either when I first started the car or while driving digital odometer goes blank and the tachometer falls to 0 RPM. This occurs everytime I drive the car. Sometimes they will come back on and sometimes they won't. Also, even though the odometer has went blank, it continues to count the milage of the car.
