Hi Pianoman. What an awful experience with the timing belt scenario! And even if it had been the fault of the loose water pump (i.e. still part of the same engine/same car/same warranty cover), and provided it hadn’t been tampered with by anyone during the term of the cover, how on earth were they able to get out of it?! Mind you, I can well believe it too, as many of these big companies will try their very best to avoid the costs of a repair!
Kind regards,
Will
Hello Will,
I was on the mainland and was just tired, tired of living in hotel rooms for months.
So I paid up. I just wanted to get home.
Once at home here, I went to the Chrysler dealer where I had bought the car and tried to claim my guarantee.
It didn't work.On top of that I have been having engine overheating problems ever since.
Anyway, my point was to show that, even manufacturers like Chrysler or Yamaha or Korg or any other,
will occasionally have a bad Apple in a basket.
I had many other important issues to deal with at the time.
I just didn't fancy going into a long litigation process, that will milk whatever money I had left, after having paid them that exorbitant sum.
This is the first, and the last Chrysler I will ever own.
I will buy European from now on. They have service facilities on almost every street corner and don't sell the exclusivity badge that Chrysler has been attempting to do here.
A few years back, I played in a hotel where they insisted that I should buy a civil responsibility insurance.
The first gig was a try out, after which I said I didn't want to continue working with them.
The person in charge of entertainment asked me if I could hang on a bit longer, till they find a replacement.
So I did 4 more gigs.
Then they refused to pay, saying that I didn't have the required insurance.
I set a lawyer upon them, and after 60 days they paid up. Most of the money I was owed went to paying the lawyer.
Anyway, I'll return to my point that no manufacturer is perfect.
Whether it's Keyboards, Cars, Toothpaste, or home appliances.
Best Regards and Merry Christmas,
Pianoman.
