Man, if in my job I was required to retroactively apply all current standards to stuff built 10-15 years ago, I'd have a bit of a problem with that, too.
I don't see Chrysler as being unreasonable at all. But then again, I'm of the opinion that if you own a mid-90's vehicle (of any make/model) you inherently accept whatever risks that come with that choice. Every manufacturer warrants their vehicles for a limited amount of time. After that warranty runs out, you inherently agree that anything from that point forward is your responsibility/choice.

How about we actually look at a less one sided article that actually includes Chrysler's side....

I'd like to know what the 'fix' is & how much it would cost before making a complete judgment, but based on face value I'm leaning towards Chrysler.

If the problem is not a defect in design or construction, just what the BLANK does the government expect them to do? While you can design a vehicle to last for ages and survive any rear end crash, the end result would be an M-1 Abrams. Not something I want distracted soccer moms tooling around in.

I'd side with Chrysler on this. 2.7 million vehicles and all that was found was that in 10 rear-end crashes a fire broke out and caused a fatality. We don't know the circumstances of those crashes, but based on the low number of fires compared to the number of vehicles on the road, it sounds pretty safe.
Edit - Just want to add this statement here seems like slander: "To be blunt, Chrysler is content with letting its customers burn to death," Ditlow said. This Ditlow guy should be sued. There's nothing there to indicate that the cars in question are dangerous, or that Chrysler is acting irresponsibly. |

Think about it this way, when a car company tools its manufacturing process to produce its current line-up of vehicles, are we now going to expect them to keep a production facility open for parts/design for outdated vehicles in the off chance that the government arbitrarily forces a recall? Unless the problem resides with a current generation of vehicle, a forcible recall should be out of the question. I would never expect a manufacturer to be responsible for updating older generations to adhere to whatever new regulations have been enacted after that generation already came and went.

Chrysler isn't telling the customers to F off, they're telling the government to F off
