“SPLITTING DASHBOARD I NOTICED THAT IS WAS A SLIGHT SLIT IN THE DASHBOARD THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER IT STARTED GETTING BIGGER, AS TIME WENT ON IT HAS GOTTEN ALMOST HALF FOOT LONG. I PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED IT CRACKED AGAIN IN THE SAME SPOT, I TRIED TO REPAIR IT MYSELF AND IT DIDN'T LOOK TOO GOOD SO I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE AFRAID TO FIX BECAUSE IT WAS NEAR MY AIRBAG AND DID NOT WON'T TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF THE AIRBAG SO I LEFT IT ALONE. I AM AFRAID THAT IT MAY AFFECT THE FUNCTION OF MY AIRBAG. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE DASHBOARD REPLACED BUT THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME OVER $2000 TO HAVE THIS DONE AND IT IS NOT IN MY BUDGET. *TR”

“AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING DEFECT! HOW MANY COMPLAINTS NEED TO FILED BEFORE NHTSA RESPONDS TO A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND INVESTIGATES THIS FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL? ACCORDING TO THEIR GUIDE LINES, THERE IS NO SPECIFIC NUMBER. MAYBE THEY SHOULD CONSIDER ALL OTHER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY CHRYSLER IN 2001, IN THE SAME GROUP SIZE BUT DIFFERENT MODELS, I.E. INTREPID, CONCORDE ETC. AND THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE CARS THAT PEOPLE HAD FIXED AND OR, CARS NO LONGER IN SERVICE WHO'S OWNERS ARE NOT AWARE THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. WHY ARE ALL OF THE OTHER YEAR AND MODEL CARS FROM 1998 TO PRESENT BEING RECALLED, EXCEPT FOR THE 2001 LHS??? WHY IS CHRYSLER CHARGING 3X'S AS MUCH MORE FOR THIS CLOCK SPRING AS COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHERS THAT ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL. THERE CAN'T BE THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE!!! MAYBE I SHOULD GO ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND LAUNCH MY OWN CAMPAIGN TO SEE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS PROCESS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ME SINCE 2012. CONTACTED CHRYSLER NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE! *TR”

“2001 CHRYSLER LHS. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 100,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ISSUE #1 THE VEHICLE DIES SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE, BUT VERY UNSAFE. I INTEND TO CONTACT CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT NO SAFETY RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE FOR THIS VEHICLE. ISSUE #2 VEHICLE ENGINE SURGES SUDDENLY WHEN STOPPED WHILE THE DRIVER HAS THEIR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND NOT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR AT ALL. THE IDLE JUMPS AROUND ANYWHERE FROM 1,000 - 2000 RPM AND THEN SETTLES BACK DOWN TO NORMAL IDLE ON IT'S OWN AFTER A FEW SECONDS. THIS IS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE, BUT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE BRAKES DO NOT HOLD. *TR”
