Chrysler Group LLC needs 1,000 additional engineers and high-tech employees to work on its future product lineup.

The automaker is actively recruiting on 35 college campuses and encouraging resumes in a bid to add the professionals by April of next year.

The Auburn Hills-based automaker decimated its workforce as part of restructuring leading up to bankruptcy in 2009. The automaker emerged in June 2009, formed a partnership with Fiat SpA and began work on overhauling its needy product lineup.

Chrysler had 82,280 employees at the end of 2006, including 64,750 in the United States. By June 2009, that figure had fallen to 47,800, with 32,250 in the United States.

1. if only that would fix the problem with my brakes. my husband has had to change them

2. "my husband has had to change them "...

Ever consider that perhaps the problem is with "my husband has had to change them "?

3. no, we have had problems since we got it. had it in to the dealer several times.

my husband has worked as a mechanic all his life and knows how to change brakes and rotors and everything else. the problem is a design flaw which allows salt and water and everything else to get into the brakes. other than that and the shifter problem the van works great.
