I bought this used car from a dealer. My fiancee started to notice that the engine temperature gauge was rising fast. She started to hear bubbling gurgling sounds from the cooling system. The car started to lose power. I phoned Chrysler to see if they could cover the expense since it was out of warranty and had prior owners. I ended up getting the car repaired and Chrysler only offered a 15% discount. They should have paid the whole bill of $1853.03. There is such a thing as silent warranty that I have read about on the internet. I want them to reimburse me and I am going to file several written complaints.

I have always maintained my car regularly, but I've had so many problems with it. First of all, I've always had brake trouble, second: My turn signals will sometimes come on when I hit the brakes (or sometimes not at all), my defrost keeps breaking (only vent and bi-level will work); my horn died for no reason a few months ago, and today my car won't start (I drove to church, and it worked fine, but when I later tried starting my car, it wouldn't start. It appeared as though the battery was dead - Leicester, NC, USA
