MY DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR HAS OOZED A GEL AND LOST REFLECTIVE PROPERTIES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO CHANGE LANES AND GET ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. THIS HAPPENED PRETTY QUICKLY. IT STARTED WITH TURNING AN AMBER COLOR, THEN EVERY TIME IT RAINED IT WOULD APPEAR AS A GEL LEAKED FROM BOTTOM OF MIRROR GLASS. NOW AS OF THIS DATE I AM UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING IN THIS MIRROR. I'VE SEEN OTHER CHRYSLER AND DODGE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND WORKED AT DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP IN OUR CITY AND SAID THIS HAPPENED A LOT IN CHRYSLER'S. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AROUND DECEMBER 2016. COMPLETELY LOST REFLECTION IN FEBRUARY 2017.

THE CHROME COVERING THE DOOR HANDLE STARTED PEELING ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND I HAVE SLICED MY FINGER WIDE OPEN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEN MY DAUGHTER SLICED HER FINGER OPEN ON THE VERY SHARP CHROM COVERING THAT WAS PEELING, I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO REPORT IT. IF I HAD BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD GOING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM, I AM SURE I SHOULD HAVE HAD STITCHES ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASION. MY HUSBAND TRIED TO HELP AND TRIED TO PEEL THE REST OF IT OFF, BUT IT JUST CHANGED WHERE THE SLICEY PART IS, NOT ITS ON THE PALM OF MY HAND INSTEAD OF MY FINGERS.

I AM SO DISAPPOINTED. I ALWAYS HAVE REGULAR CHECKUPS OIL CHANGES AND SO ON. I HAD ONE IN MARCH OF 2014 AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN WILLARD OHIO SHAFFERS. THEN I HAD A COUPON FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR SHARPNACK IN WILLARD OHIO IN APRIL 2015. SHARPNACK PUT THE CAR ON THE LIFT AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED ME OUT ASTONISHED BECAUSE NO ONE HAD SHOWED ME THE FRAME WAS ROT. THE FRONT AREA WAS READY TO GIVE ANYTIME. THEY WOULD NOT TOUCH IT FOR SAFETY NOR FIX IT FOR ANYTHING. THEY DID NOT WANT ME TO DRIVE IT OFF THE LOT. I THEN STARTED RESEARCH THIS IS NOT JUST ME. I CALLED CHRYSLER WHO WANTED IT LOOKED AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHICH I DID AND THE CAR IS BROKE FROM CRADLE ROT. CHRYSLER HAS HAD MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS YET NOTHING DONE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I RESEARCHED OTHER PLACES AND TOYOTA AT LEAST TOOK CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH A PAYOUT OR NEW VEHICLE. I WILL HAVE MY CAR TOWED HOME AND WILL NOT LET THIS BE. I HAVE CONTACTED ALL BUSINESS I CAN THINK OF AND WILL CONTACT ALL NEWS AND CHANNELS THAT WILL LISTEN.

2001 CHRYSLER 300 M HAD A CRACK IN THE VINYL OF THE VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD DIRECTLY OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. *TS THE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER IT WAS A COSMETIC PROBLEM, WHICH HER WARRANTY DID NOT COVER. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT IT COULD BE REPAIRED, BUT MORE THAN LIKELY, IT WOULD CRACK AGAIN DUE TO THE VIBRATION GENERATED BY THE NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THIS INVOLVES THE FLASHING ON AND OFF OF THE DIGITAL DISPLAY ON THE RADIO WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON. THE DISPLAY GOES DIM AND THEN BECOMES BRIGHT.

THE TRIM AROUND THE DOORS IS BADLY PEELING, CRACKING, TOTALLY FALLING OFF. I THINK THAT THE QUALITY OF PRODUCTS THEY USE MUST BE BAD. CARS ARE TOO EXPENSIVE TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT. THE TRIM IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND WITH A CAR THAT ISN'T THAT OLD YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ANYWAY. IF THERE IS SUCH A PROBLEM WITH THIS THEY NEED TO CORRECT IT.

I HAVE HAD MY 300M FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A SMALL CRACK DEVELOPING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE CRACK QUICKLY GREW FROM ABOUT 1 INCH TO ABOUT 7 INCHES IN A MATTER OF DAYS. I HAD A LOCAL COMPANY COVER THE DAMAGE BUT THERE WAS NOT MUCH THEY COULD DO WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH THE RELIABILITY OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THESE ISSUES, I HAVE FOUND THAT JUST ABOUT EVERYONE THAT OWNS A 300M HAS THIS SAME PROBLEM INCLUDING MY SISTER. I READ THAT THE TEAR IN THE DASH IS BECAUSE THE DASH IS THINNER AROUND THE AIRBAG TO ALLOW DEPLOYMENT, THUS A PRICEY REPAIR (REPLACEMENT). I BELIEVE THAT SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD PICK UP THE TAB ON THIS ONE.

DT: THE VEHICLE HAS A SPLIT IN DASHBOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN REPLACED IN 2002 FOR THE SAME REASON. THE DEALER REPLACED IT FREE OF CHARGE THE FIRST TIME. THIS REPLACEMENT WAS AS RESULT OF A CONVERSATION THE VEHICLE OWNER HAD WITH THE MANUFACTURER IN DETROIT. THE MANUFACTURER OR DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE IT THIS TIME. THE OWNER FEELS THIS COULD RESULT IN A PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. THE SPLIT APPEARED SIX WEEKS AGO, AND CONTINUED TO GROW. *AK
