Chrysler Corporation rip-off should they do a recall and repair the common air-conditioning problem 1200$ to repair the evaporator on a vehicle with 8000 miles on it Auburn Hills Michigan

I had a 2001 Honda Civic that was almost 8,000 miles past its warranty when the transmission died. The Honda dealer told me "tough luck" and wanted almost three grand for a new transmision.

One call to "Honda corporate" in California and they sent a rental car to come pick me up. Then had the dealer make the repair for free.

Thats a great car company. And they have a customer for life.

To bad Chrysler and Ford have not woken up yet.

I have a 1998 Dodge Town and Country mini-van and a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee, both had the evaporator problem. I got $500 help from Chysler with the Jeep (38,000 miles, 2,000 out of warranty), none on the van. My cost was $1200 also.

My dealer and a local mechanic told me the same thing as yours. My smaller mechanic also says this is VERY common problem on Chrysler products. In fact, he said their compressors almost never go bad ...evaporators ALWAYS do.

The dealer tried to tell me the first time that it was because of the newer freon....yea right...except nobody else has had the problem.

They know of the problem and just ignore it....and worst of all continued to buy them from the same supplier! Just like they knew about the bad transmissions in the previous mini-vans and the bad rear ends on the Jeep!

You have a 3 or 4 year old model, either a 2001 or 2002 with 78,000 miles and you expect them to repair your A/C for free? I like how the local dealer tried to weasel out of it by putting it on Chrysler. Did you buy an extented warranty out to 70,000 miles? I thought it came with a 3/36k warranty. I have a 1988 Dodge/Chrysler Ram Charger with 125,000 and my A/C is starting to go out, so I thought maybe, if they fixed yours, they could fix mine.

There is a little known program through the Chrysler family of dealers that allows the evaporators to be replaced FREE to the customer up to 100K miles. You just have to be persistent if they tell you no. They even tried to backdate the mileage in my Concorde from 105K to the magic number. Good luck.
