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!!! …
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 Chrysler LHS. While driving at 40 MPH, the contact stated there was an abnormal ticking coming from the front of the vehicle and the instrument panel lights and headlights then began to intermittently flicker on and off. The dealer advised that the battery cable was defective and corroded. The battery was replaced but did not correct the failure. There were no additional repairs. The failure mileage was 59,000 and the current mileage was 114,344.
Steering issues, noise in wheel area while driving, loss of traction control and ABS, tie rods to be replaced, play in steering wheel, vehicle shifts heavy while rolling over a bump, dome lights go on sporadically, fuel gauge drops to e and goes back up all the time, tires worn and they were brand new.
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.
Interior lights go on and off,instrument panel,blinks,while driving. Alarm goes off for no reason. I've had to replace 3 batteries,as it seems there is a drain in the system somewhere that knowone can find. Its sitting dead once again in front of house. Barely touch cables to battery extended connections and it will start right up. After charging battery it is dead within 24 hrs. Turning key,interior lights do not flicker or dim,but you hear click of like dead battery. Definite problem with wiring in this car,and a 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. …
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.
Instrument panel loose ground connections cause driver inst panel to go on or off when driving this also effects air bag panel light. This is Chrysler TSB. When occurs you are blind to gas & all displays, incl MPH.very dangerious, should be a recall.
