Computer controller, idler arm and pulley, timing belt, and bottom crank gear all went out at same time.head gasket was found to be defective while in shop for timing belt repairs.Chrysler has agreed to pay for 500 of the 725 dollars it would cost to fix head gasket, but nothing on all the timing belt related problems at 525.00.auto was 4,000 miles and 1 year out of warranty when problems occurred.just seems odd that the computer and all the timing belt related problems happened at the same time.the computer was replaced under warranty.after computer was replaced the timing belt problems were discovered.
