 Wasn't '98 the year that they caught all those Chrysler employees doing
DRUGS in the factory. If I was you might get a readout from someone on the
DML list if they saved it---and show the service manager that whatever goes
wrong with your vehicle---you expect it to be covered -not only by
warranty-but by what was suppose to be good workmanship----Has anybody tried
to get more service from the factory dealers by showing the article about
the DC drug bust that wasn't covered by warranty?
