THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER TO BE FIXED. HAD CLASSIC "NO AIRBAG, NO HORN, NO CRUISE" SYMPTOMS. DEALER REPLACED AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING, BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OF "NO AIRBAG". THE DEALER'S STANCE IS "WE DON'T TROUBLESHOOT, WE ONLY REPLACED THE PART."

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER TO BE FIXED. HAD CLASSIC "NO AIRBAG, NO HORN, NO CRUISE" SYMPTOMS. DEALER REPLACED AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING, BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OF "NO AIRBAG". THE DEALER'S STANCE IS "WE DON'T TROUBLESHOOT, WE ONLY REPLACED THE PART." THEY LET THE VEHICLE LEAVE THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION WITHOUT NOTIFYING THE CUSTOMER OF AN ISSUE, WHICH WAS ONLY DISCOVERED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP. DEALER REFUSES TO REPLACE CLOCKSPRING, AND INSISTS ON A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO TROUBLESHOOT AN ISSUE THAT I HAVE ALREADY DIAGNOSED MYSELF. I ENDED UP HAVING TO OBTAIN A REPLACEMENT CLOCKSPRING ON MY OWN, AND FIT IT TO THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAG, HORN, AND CRUISE CONTROL NOW WORK ON THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT AND MY RESEARCH REVEALS THAT …

WHILE DRIVING ALONG AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE GAS GAUGE SUDDENLY WENT FROM 1/4 TO ZERO. IN ADDITION THE TACHOMETER WENT TO ZERO , THE TEMP GAUGE WENT TO THE OFF GAUGE AND THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 120 AND STAYED THERE. THE ABS LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AND STAYED THERE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT AND MY RESEARCH REVEALS THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND DUE TO POOR COLD SOLDER JOINTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CIRCUIT BOARD. MULTIPLE VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE PAID FOR REPAIRS THAT THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD PROBLEM. IF THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE PRODUCTION IT SEEMS REASONABLE THAT THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. NOT KNOWING VEHICLE SPEED, FUEL LEVEL, ENGINE TEMP IS A MAJOR HAZARD AND AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

HEADLIGHTS DIM SHARPLY IN COLD WEATHER OR TRAVELING IN WET CONDITIONS. IF I HIT A PUDDLE IN THE ROAD THIS WILL HAPPEN ALSO OR I MIGHT LOSE THEM ALL TOGETHER, FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. THIS SEEMS TO BE FROM INSUFFICIENT INSULATING OF WIRE HARNESS. COULD CAUSE A FIRE OR SEVERE ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY IF TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY. *JB
