Chrysler 300M Lighting problems by year

Dashboard developed a 10 -12" crack just to the left of the passenger side airbag. Do not know if the airbag system will work or not. In any event this seems to be a manufacturing problem, by the number of complaints. Dealer(s) are of no help as the vehicle is out of warranty. This vehicle has also had the common problem of the headlamps/instrumentation lights flickering. Headlamps would flash on/off along with instrument lighting. Headlight switch panel replaced, but the problem returned. *Tr

HEADLIGHTS BLINK ON THERE OWN. *TR

My speedometer cluster and heater a/c air conditioner climate temperature control lights quit working.I feel this is a hazard to driving, when you can not see how fast you going at night.I called chrysler headquarters and they said there is nothing they can do.I am not the only car like this, there is other cars around the same year with the same problem.I think this should be checked into. *Tr

While operating the vehicle, the instrument lights, radio and compass lights flicker intermittently or become very bright for a few seconds then become very dim for a few seconds. I have only noticed this occurrence while driving at night when the headlights are in use. During this event, the headlights also appear to become brighter or go dim at the same time. *Tr

Electrical issue started about six months after purchasing my 2002 chrysler 300m. The lights would spontaneously flicker for no reason while driving. This happened while driving at night, luckily lights came back on. Battery drains out every 3-6 months. At the time of purchase the car was still under warranty- the dealer claimed they were unable to fix a problem if it wasn't occurring at their shop; alternator checked and was working. The battery issue has not been resolved. A year ago the problem with the...

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 chrysler 300m. The contact was driving 55 mph at night. The headlights were in activation with a dim illumination which resulted to limited visibility. The high beam headlights were engaged to increase the visibility. The failure began when the vehicle was purchased and progressed over a period of time.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 chrysler 300m. The vehicle would intermittently stall without any prior warnings. As a consequence his risk for a vehicle crash was increased. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the cam shaft along with the crank-shaft position sensors were replaced. Two days after the repair the failure resurfaced. The interior lights also flickered on and then off and the steering column began to vibrate violently. None of the repairs have remedied the failures. The manufacturer was notified, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 22000. The current mileage was 84,000.

Both fog lights on my 2004 300m special stopped working,. Took in for service to chrysler dealer 5/2/06 and told the wiring harness was "burned". That I would have to replace the harness at my cost, $2000+ new or $300+ used for the part, plus labor. Declined repair to await outcome of complaint. Their was no fire but that doesn't mean that one could not have developed. *Nm

Is there some regulation about the new led tail lights? Many of them flicker at a low frequency, like a strobe light, that is very distracting. Tests in the computer industry for crts have shown that 60hz flicker, while invisible for many, is very distracting for around 1/3 the population. 72Hz is better, but 80hz is necessary to cover 95%+ of the population. Since leds have faster response and since there is little or no cost to do it right, led tail lights ought to flicker at 200hz or higher. The reason they are pulsed in the first place is to provide better brightness electronic control, but there is no reason to flash so slowly. *Jb

The headlights on 2001 chrysler 300m have started to haze over, thus lowering the visibility at night. This car only has approximately 40,000 miles, and these miles have not been long distances.*Ak
