Chrysler: Why Chrysler is Going Down the Tubes

All their cars are either/or too tipsy, too heavy, too expensive, too
unreliable, too hard to fix, too outdated.

How much are we going to have to pay or how long do we have to wait
for automatics that don't creep? For systems that are truly failsafe?
For components designed for efficient repair or replacement?

The old problems keep coming with the new models. You already know
the old: head gaskets that fail, timing belt problems, and fuel pumps
leading the very long list of complaints.

Here's something NEW to sit and ponder over. To keep interest up in
the lastest Crapmobile, designers have to keep coming up with new
gimmicks to peddle. In the past, these gimmicks have been mostly
nuscisances, like tail fins that do nothing worse than add weight,
help weathercock the car into crosswinds, and impale daydreaming kids
on bikes. The latest gimmick WILL KILL YOU! Its the "high
performance" extra low profile tires (-40's). These suckers will
hydroplane you to oblivion at speeds as low as 45 mph. To some, they
look "cool". To me they look like the stupid car is driving on the
rims. Bet Chrysler doesn't warranty those expensive rims (and tires)
when you bend one on a pothole that an ordinary tire would just
rebound over. Even if you don't visibly damage rim or tire, who's to
guarantee that the tire isn't "bruised" and dramatically weakened by a
road hazard we have learned from past experience to brush off as a
mere bump in the road. For your own sake and that of your family's DO
NOT BUY ANY CAR UNLESS IT IS EQUIPPED WITH CONVENTIONAL TIRES AND
WHEELS.

User error!! If you get low profile tires you better read your owners manual.
They are high performance tires and trade off some comfort for dry grip. They
are more vulnerable to damage when you hit a bump, but if you are paying
attention you can avoid most potetially damaging bumps. If you do damage your
tire, it is obvious. You will see a bulge in the sidewall. If you the type of
driver who does not pay attention to the road when you drive, then you should
not get this type of tire. No one forced you to get the tires, so stop
whinning.
