THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD THAT CONTROLS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS FAILED TWICE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC ADMITTED THAT THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WITH MY VEHICLE AND I CAN EXPECT IT TO FAIL AGIAN. THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS DOES NOT EXSIST, YET MY CAR CONSTANTLY FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY AND MANY ELECTRICAL FAULTS OCCUR REGULARLY. THE HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING, THE RADIO CUTS OUT, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES OUT, THE DOOR LOCKS WONT WORK, THE HAZZARD FLASHERS COME ON & WILL NOT SHUT OFF. THE DEALER INSISTS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, YET THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO PLAUGE MY VEHICLE.*AK

I NOTICED WHEN THE INVESTIGATION WAS TAKING PLACE ALL VEHICLES FROM 1996-2000 WERE BEING LOOKED AT. I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM WITH MY CLOCKSWITCH FOR FREE BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. *AK

1999 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. VIN [XXX]. THE SUBJECT VEHICLE HAS HAD A FAILURE OF THE CLOCK SPRING MECHANISM (ACCORDING TO THE DEALER). THIS HAS RESULTED IN THE FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT (ALONG WITH CRUISE CONTROL AND HORN). CHRYSLER HAS ADMITTED THIS PROBLEM EXISTS (VIA RECALL) WITH 1996-1998 VEHICLES BUT WILL NOT FIX 1999 VEHICLES. YOUR WEB SITE EXHIBITS NUMEROUS INSTANCE OF THIS FAILURE ON 1999 VEHICLES. HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS FAILURE TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND FIXED BY CHRYSLER? I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY CHRYSLER REGARDLESS OF AUTO MILEAGE.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO BECOME INOPERABLE, THE HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL TO ALSO STOP WORKING. I FOUND ON A PLYMOUTH FORUM THAT MANY OTHER 1999 VAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER, THEY SAID THE RECALL DID NOT COVER THE 1999 VAN AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT EXTEND THE SAFETY RECALL. *LA
