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.

1997 Chrysler LHSLights

The headlight housing can not be removed to replace a burned out headlight bulb. There are two bolts that need to be removed for each headlight. One of the two bolts can not be removed as the nut holding the bolt rotates inside the plastic housing and will not let the bolt be removed. This is a common failure and means that to many people have to drive with a burned out bulb much longer than necessary until they can schedule a repair appointment. It shouldn't take that long to replace a burned out headlight. *Nm
