Takata recall; my transmission goes in "limp mode" often and I smell electric wiring burning in side my vehicle, under dash or under hood some were?! The vehicle was in motion on a city streets.
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
Interior lights go on and off,instrument panel,blinks,while driving. Alarm goes off for no reason.

safety issue when driving. Just spent 1800.00 In 6 months also replacing 3 injectors,and all o rings.Gas line on back firewall was also cracked and putting fumes into interior. Only did this when at idle. This wiring harness problem needs to be addressed before someone gets into an accident. Also switch on headlights cannot be used on auto,drains battery quicker. Now heat/ac/lights goes out on dash. Seem to hear a continue hum even when car is shut off..Not radio! Help,spent to much on this car with 126,000 miles on it to feel I can't put my children inside to be safe,or stranded. Recall wiring harness! All above happens either highway,or city streets. Now front interior dome lights have stopped working,but directional indicator still works. Just waiting for this to catch on fire. About time chrysler did something about these issues. I will never buy another chrysler vehicle again.Also replaced fuel pump,timing belt,pulleys etc,before injector and fuel line problem,that occurred 3 months later.
Takata recall I have just spent $435 to replace the starter assembly in my chrysler. Had just purchased a new battery. The car only has 60k miles on it. Has there been any recalls for this issue? That seems fairly low miles for a starter replacement.
I put power steering fluid in and motor oil and transmission in the car and it caught on fire. My kids was in the car with me. *Tr
The clockspring on this model is defective and needs to be replaced. After trying to order the part for repairs from numerous distributors and dealers, it was determined that chrysler has not released an order to make and distribute the part! This is going on over 2 years for our vehicle and possibly longer for other owners of the same model. This part is vital to the safety of the driver, it's passengers and the operation of the vehicle, because it controls the airbag, turn signals and horn!!! The vehicle is...

I was driving several months ago and my dash light went black. It stopped working. They did not work for several months. Then a week ago they came back on while I was driving. Tonight, after a week of working dash lights, they suddenly stopped working again as I was driving down the road. What is going on? Please let me know what can be done. *Tr
HEATER DISPLAY DOESN'T WORK. *TR
All of the dashboard gauges stopped working, the driver seat started moving, all at once. The speedometer stopped working while the driver's seat was adjusting itself--super dangerous! *Tr
The car has had regular oil changes and was due for a transmission service. Sensors were replaced approximately three years ago. Mechanic indicated that the pan below was wet with oil. When the car was towed out of the driveway, aaa tow jumped the battery it held for about a minute and then would not hold the start. The tow driver indicated that he believed that it was no transmission. Sometimes there is an engine knock and sometimes as the charge is about to stop the engine runs with no noise. This car...

only has approximately 61,0000 miles, and has only been long distance to traverse city. Further one shop indicated that the battery was only operating at 25%. No one would do a paid diagnostic on this vehicle. It was towed to firestone and mo's, in southfield and oak park respectively. *Tr
I purchased my vehicle as a pre-certified car with only 14,100 original miles in june of 2003. On 4/4/2004 my vehicle speedometer sensor failed causing my vehicle to be place in a safety mode of no more than 25 miles an hour..(Felt like the transmission dropped). Then a year later around the same time, my power steering pump failed and almost causing me an accident. I have also repaired the cradle bushing 3 times since owning this vehicle and now I have to replace them again. I also just recently (dec. Of 2011) had...

all the struts complete assembly replaced with both lower control arms with ball joints. Replaced both upper outer tie rods, both lateral links. I am constantly replacing my tires before there warranty time and replacing front-end brake pads. Also my seat belts are defective and not working properly. The rear defroster/antenna module started smoking and melted causing my defroster not to work anymore. I have been having nothing but problem with this vehicle since day one, with no help or concern from chrysler. The bumper to bumper warranty I had purchased for the vehicle did not cover any of these failed parts. I also tried getting the recall parts replaced and was told by several dealerships that my car was not part of the recall because I have a sunroof lhs. I am constantly having to replace front-end suspension parts that keep failing on this vehicle. This vehicle only had 1 owner before me. I have receipts for all updated maintenance and repairs for this vehicle. Chrysler has denied me of any failed parts, warranty parts and recalls for the vehicle. This is just the beginning of the issues with this vehicle, there are other issues as well but will not be able to fit it on this form. *Tr
