CONSUMER STATES THE AIR BAG MODULE HAS A CRACK WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE AIR BAG MATERIAL. DEALER WAS CONTACTED. MR

MY RACK AND PINION FAILED. THE REPLACEMENT OUT OF WARRANTY WAS PRECEEDED BY VERY SLOPPY STEERING AND KNOCKING IN THE SUSPENSION. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR CHRYLSER LH CARS BUT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON 300M INTERNET FORUM SITES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM MANIFEST ITSELF IN WANDERING STEERING AND ULTIMATELY COMPLETE STEERING FAILURES. SURELY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE THAT DO NOT WANT TO PAY $1200 TO GET THE UNIT REPLACED. THIS PROCRASTINATION, DUE TO COST, WILL INSURE THAT THE WANDERING AND KNOCKING WILL ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A STEERING FAILURE AND ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER MAIN AND REGIONAL OFFICES TO SEE IF THEY WOULD ASSIST IN THE EXPEDITURE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY DECLINED. MR

WHILE DRIVING 45MPH STEERING RACK BROKE, CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING.*AK

AS I WAS JACKING UP THE CAR TO REPLACE THE FLAT TIRE, THE JACK BROKE AND THE CAR FELL TO THE GROUND WITH ME RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT. THE CAR WAS ON LEVEL GROUND. THIS WAS THE 2ND TIME THE JACK WAS USED. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TO WRITE A LETTER TO CHRYSLER CORP. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH AN ENGINEER AT CHRYSLER WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH THE LH JACK AND WILL BE LOOKING INTO THE ROOT CAUSE. NO WORD YET FROM CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE.*AK

THE DASH ON MY CAR IS SPLITTING IN THE SEAM OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WITH AIRBAG SYSTEM. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I THINK THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING PROPERLY.*AK

I OWN A 1999 CHRYSLER 300M.IN FEBRUARY OF 2001, I TOOK MY CAR TO ELKINS CHRYSLER IN DURHAM, NC, TO HAVE SEVERAL THINGS LOOKED AT BEFORE MY CAR WENT OUT OF WARRANTY.EVERYTHING WAS FIXED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MY DASHBOARD. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE TIME SAID THAT HE COULD NOT FIX THE DASH UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE TO HIM THAT THE DASH HAD BEEN CUT. I TRIED TO CONVINCE THE MANAGER THAT THERE WAS NO WAY THAT MY DASH HAD BEEN CUT, BUT THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY A MANUFACTURES DEFECTIVE. INSTEAD OF CHRYSLER BACKING THEIR PRODUCT AND FOCUSING ON CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, I WAS REFERRED TO A MAN WHO DOES VINYL AND LEATHER REPAIR. I SPENT A HUNDRED DOLLARS OUT OF MY ON POCKET TO HAVE THE SPLIT IN MY DASH REPAIRED. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD TO LIVE WITH A DASH THAT WAS NOT VERY APPEALING TO THE EYE.RECENTLY MY DASH HAS STARTED TO SPLIT AGAIN. IT IS ALONG THE SAME VERTICAL AXIS AS THE FIRST SPLIT, BUT ABOUT 6 INCHES HIGHER. CHARLES EMANUELE OF ELKINS CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT THE SPLIT IS OCCURRING IN THE SEAM OF THE DASH WHERE THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DASH. AGAIN ELKINS CHRYSLER REFUSED TO FIX MY VEHICLE, BECAUSE NOW THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN MICHIGAN, AGAIN NOTHING BUT A LOT OF EXCUSES AND NO ONE WILLING TO REALLY LISTEN TO MY COMPLAINT. I AM NOT TRYING TO ASK FOR SOMETHING UNREASONABLE, I AM ONLY ASKING CHRYSLER TO FIX SOMETHING THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED WHILE THE

THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTED TO SPLIT OPEN NEAR THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. I SHOWED THIS AREA TO A SERVICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE, AND HE TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. IT WAS CONSIDERED TRIM, NOT AN ITEM COVERED BY WARRANTY. I TOLD HIM IT APPEARED TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT AND I FELT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. I HAD THE REPAIRS DONE AT MY EXPENSE, AND THE PERSON WHO DID THE REPAIRS, SAID HE HAS REPAIRED 6 OR 7 OTHER 300M'S, IN TWO DIFFERENT STATES, WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HE ALSO STATED HE WOULD, IF NEEDED TELL THE APPROPRIATE PEOPLE, THAT IT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. ALL THE CARS HE REPAIRED, HAD NO ATTACHMENTS PLACED ON THE DASH TO CAUSE THE SPLIT, AND ALL APPEARED TO BE TOO STRAIGHT TO BE A TEAR. IT WAS AN AREA THAT WAS PULLING APART. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF MY AIR BAG DEPLOYING ,UNEXPECTLY AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY.*AK

I AM INFORMING YOUR OFFICE OF A POSSIBLE SAFTEY ISSUE REGARDING THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. ON MY CAR, THE DASH BOARD BEGAN TO RIP AT THE AIR BAG COMPONENT ON THE PASSAGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I HAVE BROUGHT UP THE RIP TO THE CHRYSLER SERIVCE DEPT BUT TO NO AVAIL. SINCE CONTACT OTHER COMPANIES FOR THE REPAIR OF THE DASHBOARD AT THE RIP, I WAS TOLD I SHOULD REPORT THIS TO YOUR OFFICE BECAUSE THEY HAD SEEN THIS RIP ON OTHER VEHICLES AS MINE. THEY SAID THE RIP IS DUE TO THE DASH AROUND THE AIR BAG WAS THINNER FOR THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY, BUT REPAIRING THE TEAR AROUND THE AIR BAG WAS NOT POSSIBLE BECASUE OF A LIABILITY ISSUE. THE TEAR IS RIGHT ON THE EDGE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I FELT WHEN I FIRST NOTICED A VERY SMALL TEAR IN THE DASH OVER A YEAR AGO, THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD EITHER DEPLOY OR WOULD INTERFERE WITH THE DEPLOYEMENT. OVER THE YEAR, THE TEAR HAS GRADUALLY INCREASED TO THE LENGTH OF ABOUT 12 INCHES ON THE EDGE OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM.*AK

PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS NOT A SEPARATE UNIT IN THE DASHBOARD AREA. THERE IS A VERY LARGE VERTICAL TEAR/CRACK ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE AIRBAG. IT IS OBVIOUS THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DASHBOARD AREA WHERE THE AIRBAG SITS UNDERNEATH. THE CRACK IS OF CONCERN BECAUSE WE ARE CONCERNED THE AIRBAG COULD DISENGAGE AND OUR SAFETY IS A FACTOR. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS IS THE COST OF AN ENTIRE NEW DASHBOARD IN THE AMOUNT OF $1200 PLUS. CHRYSLER CALLS THIS COSMETIC AND WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR.*AK

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A HISTORY OF ENGINE PROBLEMS,, AND HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THE FIRST ENGINE FAILURE WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND ENGINE FAILURE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ASSIST WITH THIS COST OF $4750.00. I DO NOT KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT ENGINES TO UNDERSTAND IF THE FIRST FAILURE COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE SECOND OR IF ENGINE HEAD WAS WARPED AGAIN AND WAS USING OIL, OR IF PERHAPS THE OIL PUMP WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. SLUDGE WAS FOUND IN THE OIL PAN, BUT MY OIL WAS REPLACED AT INTERVALS OF 4000 - 6000 MILES FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. INCIDENT OCCURRED OUT OF TOWN, SO I WAS FORCED TO DEAL WITH AN UNFORMILIAR DEALER. ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS REQUESTED TO BE RETAINED FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS, THE DEALER SENT IT BACK TO MOPAR. ONE WEEK AFTER THE ENGINE WAS REPAIRED TRANSMISSION BLEW. CHRYSLER DID PAY FOR THIS. CHRYSLER FINANCIAL HOLDS THE LEASE AND IT IS NOW UP. I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS MY ENGINE ISSUES WITH AN EXPERT AND UNDERSTAND IF I HAVE ANY OPPORTUNITY TO REOPEN THIS ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER.*AK
