Chrysler Technician: "Don't Buy Our Cars"
-J.F. Musial
Every Sunday, much like any other car enthusiast, I go for a nice drive around some unknown back-roads in the state. I drive most of the time trying to get myself lost just so maybe I'll discovery a new stretch of twisties which I can have all to myself for a few fun minutes. My obsession with driving eats up a good portion of my paycheck, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
These random drives of mine have left me stranded several times. I spent six hours once on the side of the road just for a state trooper to finally show up to tell me to get my car out of the way. Thanks again sir! Today though, I was on the other side of the spectrum. I passed by an middle-age man on the side of the road with the hood of his Chrysler 300C up. I decided to do my good deed of the day and pull over to see if I could be of any assistance. As I stepped out of the car and walked over, I immediately overheard the man on the phone telling who I later found out to be his boss, that his car was a complete piece of crap. I introduced myself and offered if I could help. Chad introduced himself, then told me that he was driving from Ohio to New York City to look for a new job. The obvious question I had for him was, "what is your current job?". His response, "A Chrysler technician".
So here I was, on the side of the road with a Chrysler technician, with his Chrysler 300C broken down; what's wrong with this picture? As I spent more time chatting with Chad, I learned that even with some of his tools in the trunk, he still had no idea why the engine would continually stall while at cruising speeds. He narrowed it down to an electrical gremlin, which left him hopeless. I offered to give Chad a ride to a gas station or dealership, even though we both agreed this problem was not getting fixed anytime soon. We decided that it'd be best if I just drove him to the train station and he'd retrieve his car tomorrow.
In the car for the twenty minute ride, Chad had a lot to share with me. He has been an automotive technician for 15 years, five of which have been with Chrysler. He had many compliments for my eight year old Audi A4... going on to say the German's know what they're doing. He didn't need to tell me that. Then, the interesting part came. He was heading to New York to find a job because he couldn't deal with his current position within Chrysler. He hated the product he worked on, and hated dealing with the corporate 'shenanigans' as he called it. "Don't buy our cars... look at where I've ended up". Good advice from a guy I seem to be respecting more by the minute. Soon enough, we made it to the train station. Chad couldn't thank me enough as I left him to catch a train into the city. I couldn't help but think that this man had just left his relatively new car just sitting on the side of the road. A person must really hate such an expensive part of their life to just leave it without thinking twice. Lets hope New Jersey doesn't swallow it up, or maybe that's what Chad wants in the end.

I work for DCX. I work at Jefferson North assy. plant. I can tell you right now if anyone was considering buying a grand Cherokee or Commander, don't. You know how they say you dont want to see how sausage is made? It's like that. We just push these things out the door and if ant problems come up we catch them later. There is a whole full of vehicles with problems and every day it just gets more and more full. Believe me you don't want a grand cherokee or commander.
Nice... Thanks...
Folks:
The only problem with Chrysler is "Damler AG" who trashed Chrysler, put 40 billion of Damler debt on and set adrift. I would have bought Chrysler myself but all bids were under the table and regular people couldn't get in.
What's next?? Look for Isusu to takeover GM, they already have been fitting the name badges to all the trucks. Look for Volvo to takeover Ford, all this by 2008.
Item: there are "NO" american owned T-V's, Stereos, or many other appliances that are not owned by Japan holding corporations except Westinghouse, subject to chang without notice.
In a country that is the biggest wheat grower, we are importing "Wheat Glutin"?? Why?? No one can give me an answer, and it's not Price. Imported Wheat Glutin costs more to ship here than to produce here.
200 "BILLION" dollars for New Energy research was, very quietly, to "EXXON"!!! No new energy will now be funded.
We have to fix this NOW!!!

I was never really attracted to chrysler in the first place. Not many people ever seem to be.
I have an 02' Jeep grand Cherokee. After 2 months the rear diff. gave out and I was without the car for 2 months. Lemon law could have been enacted but I was nice and told them I would return it only if the problem continued. It didn't. After 65k the air blend doors behind the dash gave out. Apparantly an engineering goof ($20 part) that costs $1k to repair and thousands have been effected. Check the internet. Since it's not a safety item Chrysler won't stand up and announce a recall. Just say the words "blend doors" to a Chrysler/Jeep technician and they admit there's a defect. They'll tell you that there's no way there company will assist with repair costs after the standard warranty period. A letter fro Chrysler I received apologized for the defect and said they had gotten better at manufacturing. They can let me know when they get great at it. Until then, DON'T BUY CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE.
These cars are pieces of crap (at best). To make matters worse,
Chrysler has teamed up with Mitsubishi to bring together two (2) crappy
automakers; it's no wonder Daimler (Mercedes Benz) took BIG losses to
get out of business with these "idiotic monkeys."
Now, to the technical part. Truth is, anything can be wrong with a
Chrysler. You can throw hundreds of dollars at one of these things (or
a Mitsubishi) and still not solve any problems. This "might" help:

I can make no promises.
And these fools have the nerve to brag on their "engineering." Truth
is, their "engineering" is always flawed and they simply don't give a
rat's a-- about quality.
No spark? I got one to work, once, by stimulating the crank sensor's
signal wire (grey and black wire) with a dry-cell battery (1.5V; AA or
AAA).
I've been a technician for 20 years and I turn down many jobs when I
see Chrysler/Mitsubishi, because they are "throw-away" cars and not
worth repairing in many cases. In a nutshell, if you like walking home
3AM thru the projects, buy a Chrysler/Mitsubishi.
this dude is full of shit! Nobody would leaves their tools in a brand new car on the side of the road. To take a train? Please!
