  • Daimler-Chrysler-Vehicle-Problems
    Dodge Chrysler Vehicles - Poor Quality Reliability Safety Defects Page 1 of 17 DAIMLERCHRYSLER DODGE CHRYSLER VEHICLES - IMPORTANT CONSUMER INFORMATION BEFORE YOU BUY Dodge, Chrysler formerly DaimlerChrysler has had a history of excessive vehicle quality issues, safety defects and poor service. This continued despite the 1998 Chrysler merger with Daimler Benz and constant claims by DaimlerChrysler that this was a significant benefit to consumers. If anything, given the dramatic quality decline, it seems Mercedes Benz may have embraced some of the cost cutting quality standards at Chrysler to increase overall profitability. The problems continue despite stylish new vehicles and claims of new stringent quality standards by Chrysler to regain consumer confidence. Chrysler continues to deceive consumers regarding known potentially life threatening vehicle defects such as unsafe Seatbelts and Steering which continue to put consumer lives at risk every day. Chrysler still refuses to recall several common serious safety defects that cannot be absolved through mergers and buyouts. Chrysler continues to reduce its warranty expense through an aggressive refusal to honor many valid warranty claims while blaming the consumer whenever possible, such as defective engines where on schedule oil changes can be proven. Consumers often attribute this to being a dealer problem while failing to recognize that this is because Chrysler pressures dealers to keep warranty costs to a minimum, even for known problems and defects. Chrysler will do everything it can to avoid covering common problems under warranty whenever possible by blaming consumers or claiming issues cannot be duplicated. We believe Chrysler is the most negligent, deceptive, misleading and arrogant automobile manufacturer that does not deserve your business.

  • 25 Jahre Chrysler Minivans – Ein Vierteljahrhundert Der Innovationen
    25 Jahre Chrysler Minivans – ein Vierteljahrhundert der Innovationen Die Minivan-Formel Im Jahr 1977 begann ein kleines Team von Chrysler Designern und Ingenieuren an etwas zu arbeiten, dass sie den “Magic Wagon” nannten. Als das Projekt 1980 offiziell verabschiedet wurde, war der daraus neu entstehende “Minivan” so komfortabel wie jeder andere traditionelle amerikanische Kombi, dabei aber geräumiger, vielseitiger und ökonomischer – und passte außerdem in eine durchschnittliche amerikanische Garage. Ein Vorderradantrieb war die Grundvoraussetzung für einen Innenraum mit durchgehend flachem Boden. Leichter Zugang und einfache Beladung waren ebenso wichtige Kriterien und führten zu einer seitlichen Schiebetür, einer einteiligen Heckklappe und klappbaren Sitzen, die bei Bedarf auch ganz herausgenommen werden konnten. Der Dodge Caravan und Plymouth Voyager debütierten schließlich im Jahr 1983 als Fahrzeuge, in die Freunde und Familie wie in ein ganz normales Auto einstiegen konnten, statt wie bei einem ausgewachsenen Van ins Führerhaus hochklettern zu müssen. 1983-1984 Der erste Minivan wird vorgestellt (“T-115”, erster kleiner Van mit Vorderradantrieb). 2. November 1983 – Chrysler-Vorstandsvorsitzender Lee A. Iacocca startet die Produktion des ersten Minivan im Werk Windsor in Ontario, Kanada. Zu den ersten Modellen zählen der Dodge Caravan, der Dodge Caravan C/V und der Plymouth Voyager. Im ersten vollen Verkaufsjahr werden 210.000 Caravan und Voyager ausgeliefert. Bei einer Rentabilitätsgrenze von 155.000 Einheiten jährlich spielt der Minivan eine tragende Rolle bei der Rückkehr der Chrysler Corporation zu einem profitablen Unternehmen. Das US amerikanische ‚Zinc Institut‘ verlieh dem Minivans (Plymouth Voyager) 1984 ihren ersten Preis: “Excellence in Corrosion Protection”, für ihre beispielhafte Korrosionsvorsorge. 1985 Das Magazin “Car and Driver” wählt den Plymouth Voyager zu einem der “10 Besten”.

  • Quantifying the Benefits of New Products: the Case of the Minivan
    Quantifying the Benefits of New Products: The Case of the Minivan Amil Petrin University of Chicago This paper proposes a technique for obtaining more precise estimates of demand and supply curves when one is constrained to market-level data. The technique allows one to augment market share data with information relating consumer demographics to the characteristics of the products they purchase. This extra information plays the same role as consumer-level data, allowing estimated substitution patterns and (thus) welfare to directly reflect demographic-driven differences in tastes for observed characteristics. I apply the technique to the automobile market, estimating the economic effects of the introduc- tion of the minivan. I show that models estimated without micro data yield much larger welfare numbers than the model using them, pri- marily because the micro data appear to free the model from a heavy dependence on the idiosyncratic logit “taste” error. I complete the welfare picture by measuring the extent of first-mover advantage and profit cannibalization both initially by the innovator and later by the imitators. My results support a story in which large improvements in consumers’ standard of living arise from competition as firms can- nibalize each other’s profits by seeking new goods that give them some temporary market power. I. Introduction Consumers benefit from a greater breadth of choice in both the kind and quality of products over time. Firms are the driving force behind This research has benefited from discussions with Dan Ackerberg, Steve Berry, Judy Chevalier, Roger Gordon, Gautam Gowrisankaran, Tom Hubbard, Peter Klenow, James Levinsohn, Jeff Mackie-Mason, Aviv Nevo, Ariel Pakes, Sinichi Sakata, Frank Wolak, a very helpful referee, and numerous seminar participants.

Nason NHTSA Headquarters 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20590 1-888-327-4236 Subject: NHTSA Failures/Posturing With Respect to Brake Transmission Shift Interlock Reference: “Death Toll Increases to 4 After Runaway Minivan Sinks in Pond” (Newsday.com) Dear Ms. Nason: Background The issue of runaway vehicles dates most notoriously to the mid-1980’s. At that time I was employed at Chrysler Corporation in Advanced Powertrain Planning. I was part of numerous, detailed discussions about the runaway/rollaway issue, and about the response of the manufacturer that, at that time, was receiving much media/legal attention. One technological response of this era was the invention and implementation of an electromechanical system called by several names; most recently Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI). Of special note during these early BTSI discussions was the issue of recall and retrofit. Chrysler management (and engineering staffs) was fully aware that both European and Asian manufacturers had begun offering the BTSI as a retrofit for in-use vehicles, in some cases, free-of-charge. Later, even Chrysler initiated a BTSI recall and retrofit of in-use vehicles. Regarding Asian manufacturers, an agreement was made with JAMA in 1988 which mandated the OEM production of BTSI. Any notion/testimony that Chrysler NS-Body minivan BTSI retrofit is not feasible is highly questionable. In June 2003 reporters from the Detroit News visited me at my workbench to observe the mechanical portion of a BTSI retrofit for the 1996 through 2000 model year NS-Body minivans.
