Default What Have You Done For Your Chrysler Today?

3rd annual service, monthly cleaning and quarterly battery maintenance were completed last week. I asked the dealer to address a short list of concerns as well. 10,190 miles, 3/36 expires in October.

1. Headlamp aiming: should have done it myself. Dealer corrected the driver's side - passenger side was too low. Both were too high previously. Corrected myself. 2. Dealer stated it was ok for the brake booster to loose vacuum after sitting for a couple of days. 3. Car rides/drives nearly glass smooth up to 45-50 mph before a very mild vibration creeps in. An improvement but still looking at this. UConnect underwent an automatic update during the same time frame.

One image is from the dealer service lane.

Monthly cleaning (and a repair) completed yesterday. The 2 piece plastic dust/debris cover under the motor got knocked loose at some point and had become a bit noisy. Shop removed and reinstalled the cover(s), adding oversize washers at a couple of locations. The covers are held on with a series of bolts and christmas tree fasteners. No images of the cover repair. The internal door sill covers on the RH side of the car are heat distorted. Has this happened to anyone here? May turn this in under warranty before the 3/36 runs out in October? Have experience with a reputable auto upholstery shop in the area....

Your car would look a lot better were it parked in my garage. Well done.

Monthly cleaning, quarterly tire pressure check/adjust (42 psi cold) and battery maintenance. Connected to the battery under the hood for the first time instead of through the trunk, directly to the battery. Went by the dealer after leaving the cleanup shop, drawing plenty of admirers. Service Writer addressed the issue promptly - warped upper door sill trim (?) has been ordered. My experience with them this past spring was just the opposite - perhaps 'hope springs eternal'!
