In over 6 years and 100,000 miles of Prowler ownership I've had just about every problem ever mentioned with a Prowler.
Every one of my problems has been taken care of to my complete satisfaction by either DC or my local dealer (where I purchased my first car new) Ontario Chrysler.
The parts and service departments have been wonderful to work with and the Prowler Tech is the best I've ever encountered. I've personally seen not only my local dealer but many other dealers take care of problems that I myself have even questioned as to whether it was a legitimate claim.
Are these cars perfect? Not in any way!
Are they a blast to own, a thrill to drive? You bet!
Do they make you an instant star and have a cool factor above most other cars. I'm pretty sure!
For every 10 owners that have nothing but bad things to say about the car, there are another 90 that just love them.
Life and cars aren't perfect. Deal with it.

Halicat,
Instead of constantly complaining about the wheels on your used car, how about getting then rechromed for about $150.00 each.
Wouldn't that make life more pleasant for you?

I don't know about Halicat...but that's what I think I'm gonna do. I just can't take it anymore. Too many problems associated with the Prowler.

I really like the Prowler Purple so I figured my next ride has to be pretty close. I am posting a pic of my potential new ride below. I really hope the owner will throw in his pet pigeon at the time of sale.

Guys...PLEASE let me know what you think of my new ride...well...I guess it's not mine yet. I still have to deal with all the legal mumbo jumbo. You know...getting it shipped over here and all.
Have a GREAT Mothers Day everyone!!!

I hope you guys won't treat me any different now that I'm changing my vehicle of choice.

I had to edit this cuz I just realized the color looks more like a High Voltage Blue rather than Prowler Purple. I hope I can get my $5.00 deposit back. I wonder if he'll still throw in the pigeon.

I must say i'm honored that you would feel the need to insult me with your 23rd post in 4 years...

Hey, man......like I said, I read but don't post much. My comment wasn't meant to be an insult. I just figured if ya aren't happy with the situation with DC and your cat, you should maybe find something you'd be happier with. I read a lot of automotive stuff and the bottom line is that manufacturer's only recall things that are safety issues. Peeling wheels aren't a safety issue, so they aren't obligated, especially if they're past the warranty thing.

I have received no more than EXCELLENT response from my dealer with my Prowler. They have gone far above what I have read from some of the dealer experiences posted here. I do know of another local dealer that won't do squat to help - they even refused to do the ball joint recall!

Finding that one though seems to be the hardest part.

That's why warranties end at some point. DC is a big company and sure they could absorb the cost, but could you imagine if you had to warranty one of those floating docks you want to build forever. Or even beyond the stated warranty? In my business the stated warranty is 30 days parts and labor. I didn't create the warranty, just followed the industry standard. But from time to time under certain circumstances we will honor beyond the stated warranty. The point being here is that many business would not survive if repairs had to be honored indefinitely. Especially small businesses.
The lawyers already have had a field day with product liability. If you have a ten year old baby stroller and your child gets pinched in one of the mechanisms they would be held responsible. Don't let them do the same with general warranties or none of us will be able to have a small business.

Just my humble opinion

I would have suggested taking it to Jim at M-Y in Hobe Sound, FL in the first place. It seems like most Chrysler dealers have no idea how to fix the Prowler or give good customer service. At least Massey-Yardley's Jim Bradley knows both. I bet when you got the car back it wasn't dirty inside either....because Jim the Prowler Tech is the only one that drives your car at the dealership.
Glad to see things are fixed!
