I am sending a letter to daimler chrysler on 3/13/02. Dealer has failed to resolve an intermittent failure of the abs system, but has charged me $140 for the time spent. Chrysler district manager says there is nothing they can do. I am stuck with a vehicle that cannot pass a state safety inspection but manufacturer will not take any responsibility for the problem. *Ak
