Brian,

There was some kind of a warranty, because, when I came in with my
complaints, a PMA rep (I called NJ) told me that the extended service
contract they had to cover the labor had just expired. So they would've
paid for everything. However, PMA did check my service records, to make
sure that I had maintained my car well, to qualify me for the free
parts. Fortunately, Carl Franco at then Dependable Motors, now d/b/a
Branford Dodge, maintains impeccable records as well as cars.

And I do have to say that my question was rhetorical.... I did feel
that PMA was straight with me. That's why I didn't want to jump to
conclusions.

Oh, and this was last year near Memorial Day weekend.
