More January Drama

While dealing with sick people all month we've been also having to deal with other drama. This time with cars. We bought a new car to replace the van that I crashed last Oct. It was a long time in coming and even though it's not the van I wanted, it has a 3rd row so it separates my kids. It'll do for now. We've owned it now for 2 weeks and it has been our driveway for a total of about 3 days. The stupid thing broke 2 days after we bought it. So we took it back to the dealer. They said they had forgotten to put the dipstick back in it so they put it in and said it should be fine.

Two days later it broke again. Back to the dealer. Unfortunately they can't fix it because it's a Chrysler and they are a Ford dealership...so they sent it to a Chrysler dealership. We got it back about 3 days later. It worked for a whole 2 days. So we took it back to the dealership. Another 3 days later we got it back. That was this Mon. Tues. morning, it broke again. Back to the dealer again. Apparently there is something very wrong with the fuel system.

So this is what we learned from this. NEVER...EVER...buy American made cars. Our Dodge started breaking 2 weeks after we bought it although not to this extent. This car doesn't even run.

And by the way, since I know you all are going to ask, no, we can't return it and get a refund. Cars don't work that way. I looked it up. The Lemon Law is not as specific for Used cars. But if we get it back and it breaks again, you can bet I am going to be consulting with a lawyer to see what i can do.
