CAR WAS DRIVEN ABOUT 2 MILES TO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THEY SUGGESTED I CALL CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER SENT AN ENGINEER TO INVESTIGATE. CHRYSLER SENT ME A LETTER STATING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WOULD LEAVE THEM TO BELIEVE IT WAS THE MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSIBILITY. I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY IT DEPLOYED. CHRYSLER WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH THIS INFORMATION. IF THEY CAN MAKE A DETERMINATION THAT IT WAS NOT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, THEN THEY SHOULD KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION. I SPOKE TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP AS SUGGESTED BY THE DEALER TO GET A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF THE REPAIR COST BUT THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED IN REPAIRING IT WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT CAUSED IT DO TO LIABILITY ISSUES, WHICH I UNDERSTAND.
