I've had it with my pos Chrysler now under a second "Don't charge or park in garage or it might explode" recall. Never had any experience with lemon laws, or even lawyers in general but it's past time I try to get Stellantis to buy back this giant shitpile. Internet search results in the subject are so ad and spam skewed I can't tell where to start. |

No idea I just want them to buy this pos back so I can get an actual good van, we have 5 kids we have to use it every day and it's a death trap, on top of the many other expensive failures that are unrelated. Stellantis really did a number on Chrysler quality the best I can tell, since I had had generally good experiences with their stuff before. |

Not sure if they work in central IL but I know two couples in N. IL that used Krohn & Moss and were satisfied: https://www.yourlemonlawrights.com/illinois-lemon-law Might be worth a call? |

Thanks, tried them but they are only interested in clear cut cases with multiple attempted repairs which was never really an option here.
