1999 Chrysler LHS complaints

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HORNS ON THIS VEHICLE FOUR TIMES. EVERY TIME IT RAINS THE POSITION OF THE HORN ASSEMBLY UNDER THE HOOD AND ADJACENT TO THE FRONT WHEELS, APPARENTLY PERMITS WATER TO ENTER THE HORN AND CAUSE IT TO SHORT OUT. WHATEVER THE REASON, THE HORNS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IF THE DECIBAL LEVEL COULD BE MEASURED I AM SURE IT WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AT ALL SAFE. THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMS NOT TO HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME DESIGN, ETC. MY OPINION IS NOT HAVING A WORKING HORN IS ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND NTSA. *AK

VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AS SOON AS THE KEY WAS TURNED AND THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO DRIVE, CAUSING IT TO RUN INTO TWO OTHER VEHICLES. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

WHENEVER TURNING THE VEHICLE WOULD HEAR A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE. THIS HAPPENED WHEN GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS OR UP DRIVEWAY. TOOK VEHICLE FOR SERVICE & HAD OIL CHANGED. MECHANIC ORDERED PARTS FOR FRONT SUSPENSION: SWAY BAR LINKS. VEHICLE REPAIRED & TAKEN FOR TEST DRIVE. EXPERIENCED MAJOR STRUT PROBLEMS & STRUTS WERE LUBRICATED. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK

HAD RIGHT FOOT ON BRAKE WHILE PULLING MY CAR INTO GEAR FROM PARK. SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING MY CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WITHOUT MY HAVING DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. MY CAR TOOK OFF WITH A LOUD SCREECH OF TIRES. MY RIGHT FOOT REMAINED ON THE BRAKES THE ENTIRE TIME AS I DESPERATELY TRIED TO STOP MY RUN AWAY CAR. NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES, THEY DID NOT RESPOND, OR EVEN SLOW MY CAR DOWN. A LADY AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE WHERE WE WERE SAID THAT MY CAR SOUNDED LIKE A JET ENGINE TAKING OFF. MY CAR JUMPED A CURBING, CLIMBED AN EMBANKMENT PLANTED WITH SHUBBERY AND FINALLY CENTERED A PINE TREE WHICH STOPPED THE FORWARD PROGRESS OF MY CAR. MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW WHO WAS RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT WITH HER EIGHT MONTH OLD SON HIT HER HEAD HARD ON THE WINDOW. THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER MOTORS CORPORATION SAID THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH MY CAR, AND THAT THIS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR DAMAGES OR TRY TO FIND A HIDDEN MALFUNCTION IN MY CAR. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, HAD A DIRECT FRONTAL IMPACT IN WHICH DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, FAILING TO PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS IN THE CRASH. MANUFACTURER STATED THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A DIRECT FRONTAL IMPACT. *AK
