Greeting, Last week I sent back my 1996 Voyager Minivan(39000KM/24300Miles) to one of the Chrysler dealer in BC, Canada to check the problem of lack power and popping noise when uphill and accelerate. The service advisor said the vehicle needs tune-up, after tune-up everthing will be fine. And it costed me 132 Canadian dollars. (Dealer said tune-up cannot be covered by warranty) When I picked up the vehicle and went home, I found that the problem still there. Then I called back to arrange another appointment. Yesterday, after 4 hours' so-called "diagnostic time", the dealer claimed that the problem is caused by "bad gas" that leading fuel system contaminted. Also, it's not covered by warrany since is not Chrysler that poured the dirt into the fuel system. And they ask for $ 2,377 to fix the problem. I indicated that I cannot afford it and they claimed even they didn't fix the problem I still had to pay them 500 bulks for the diagnosis and assemble time. I called the customer service of Chrysler canada, but the answer is same as the dealer. My questions are: 1. Can I ask my money back for last week's tune-up? 2. Is it true that fuel system problem doesn't cover by the warranty? 3. Is the amount of charge reasonable? In my opinion, it is ridiculous. Could anyone tell me how to deal with this situation? Best Regards, Roy Ruan
