Vehicle is subject to mass oil consumption with cause unknown after several inspections by mechanics.
I am sending a letter to daimler chrysler on 3/13/02. Dealer has failed to resolve an intermittent failure of the ABS system, but has charged me $140 for the time spent. Chrysler district manager says there is nothing they can do. I am stuck with a vehicle that cannot pass a state safety inspection but manufacturer will not take any responsibility for the problem.
Vehicle had finished warming up, with foot on brake and putting vehicle in reverse, it started jumping backwards and stalled. Consumer put vehicle in park, retarted it, and it took off. After a mile, vehicle started losing power. Mechanic and consumer were going for a test ride, and vehicle woldn't go into any gears.
