Luckily no accident. ) towed the car to a Dodge dealer. At this time, daimler-Chrysler is evaluating what to do with the defect (to pay or not to pay). They have failed to provide proper service. It has been 3 weeks with no support on a rental nor a decision to repay the defect. Hence, the car is still at the dealer which causes a major inconvenience to my family.
