Re: $180 for a new key!!! And other Chrysler rants...
What model year is your vehilce?
What is the inservice date?
What is the mileage?
Service contract in place?
The first four questions deal with warranty/non-waranty coverage.
Condition of tires-make and mileage and wear patterns?
Are you the first owner, thus having the complete history of the vehilce?
Has the vehilce rollling gear, including tire rotations been performed on the recommended schedule?
Are there any other historical issues with your vehilce that could have a bearing on this vibration issue? (eg. curb rash, pot holes in the driving area, minor/major accidents).
This will help us respond to your questions on the vibrations.
On the issue of key fobs---I would love to only pay $180 for a third key fob for my Volvo XC70. It was $380 tax not included. Was I "ripped off "? No, I wanted a third FOB and that was the going rate. I agreed to the purchase without being forced, other than my wife' cold, hard stare.
I wonder if the two dealerships involved in your purchase had the same labor rate? Did you compare the parts and labor cost breakdown? Depending on the location of the two dealerships, a $40 variance could be driven by geography and nothng more. Let know please.
