Not familiar with the new car warranty offered in England, but it should be covered under the new car warranty. May want to contact your Chrysler Zone Representative to get it covered/paid for. Personally, I've only heard of 1 or 2 other instances reported on the various PT forums, so I would suspect it is not a widespread problem and you ran into a bit of bad luck.
