So you're telling me that if Chrysler tells their suppliers that they want
something changed, you don't think they make sure it happens? Especially when
it's headed for a recall? Did you read what you typed?
Fixes are put into place on the assembly line long before the recall comes out.
That's the way it works.
If Chrysler says it's not involved in the recall, it's not involved.

ROTFLMAO!
Man or whatever you are, did you read what 'you' typed?
The dash back board makers have the shittiest quality control I have
ever heard of in a production board.
They have plugs that just plain don't fit, ground bolts that won't hold,
etc...

Man or whatever you are, did you read what 'you' typed?
The dash back board makers have the shittiest quality control I have
ever heard of in a production board.
They have plugs that just plain don't fit, ground bolts that won't hold,
etc...

No argument, there have been problems, but as usual, you change the subject when
cornered. The point is all those problems got fixed, and no vehicles were added
to recalls or TSBs at a later date because repairs were in place BEFORE the
recall/TSB was released. They KNOW what vehicles are involved as I've said all
along. It's either involved in the recall or it's not.

No argument, there have been problems, but as usual, you change the subject when
cornered. The point is all those problems got fixed, and no vehicles were added
to recalls or TSBs at a later date because repairs were in place BEFORE the
recall/TSB was released. They KNOW what vehicles are involved as I've said all
along. It's either involved in the recall or it's not.
