CHRYSLER RUNNING BOARD KIT Complaints

MY '02 PT CRUISER HAS HAD MANY INCIDENTS OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OCCASSIONALLY FLICKERS OR DOES NOT LIGHT UP AT ALL. THE RADIO DISPLAY/CLOCK FEATURE WILL TURN OFF WHILE MUSIC IS STILL PLAYING. HEADLIGHTS DIM WHEN RADIO/INSTRUMENT PANEL IS CHANGED. THE ABS FAILED ON THE INTERSTATE WHLIE GOING 65MPH. THE CAR SLID FOR A LONG TIME, CAUSING A LARGE BALD SPOT ON ALL 4 TIRES. THEN SUBSEQUENTLY THE CAR SHUT OFF AND TOOK A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR WAS ABLE TO TURN BACK ON. THE STARTER HAS DIED 3 TIMES, EACH TIME BEING REPLACED. THE CAR GETS ROUGHLY 13MPG AT ALL TIMES. THERE IS NO SAFETY UNDER THE SEAT TO PREVENT ROLLING OBJECTS FROM ROLLING INTO THE FRONT SEAT AND POTENTIALLY AFFECTING THE USE OF PEDALS. THE CAR FREQUENTLY DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN THE KEY. I HAVE HAD ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS, EVEN WHILE TAKING EXCELLENT CARE OF MY VECHICLE. *JB

I HAVE A 2000 GRAND CHEROKEE JEEP LIMITED THAT I PURCHASED NEW. IT WAS FAIRLY OK UNTIL 2003 AT ABOUT 60K MILES. THAT'S WHEN THE RADIATOR STARTING LEAKING. IT WAS REPLACED IN 2003 AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER (5 REPLACEMENTS) WITH THE LAST ONE IN MARCH 2007. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL WATER PUMPS PLUS REPLACING THE HEATER CORE. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE FOR THE RADIATORS TO CONTINUE TO BREAKDOWN EVERY YEAR WITH LESS THAN 10K AND UNDER 12 MONTHS EACH TIME. I BELIEVE THE JEEP HAS AN INHERENT FLAW IN THE COOLING SYSTEM DESIGN. CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY FUTURE RADIATORS WHICH ALMOST ASSUREDLY WILL BREAKDOWN AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *JB

I OWN A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH 66,000 MILES. IN AUGUST 2006, THE AC QUIT FUNCTIONING WHEN AIR TEMPERATURES EXCEEDED 85F. AFTER A RECALIBRATING, EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. BUT WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED THE PASSENGER HEAT FAILED WHILE THE DRIVERS SIDE CONTINUED TO FUNCTION. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE "BLEND AIR ASSEMBLY" PER THE TSB - AT MY EXPENSE. DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM SO THEY RECALIBRATED THE SYSTEM AGAIN. WORKED FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH. THEN NO HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE WHILE PASSENGER SIDE HAS HEAT FROM THE TOP VENT BUT NOT THE LOWER. THE RIGHT SIDE BLEND DOORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE & SYSTEM RECALIBRATED 4 TIMES- AGAIN AT MY EXPENSE. STILL NO HEAT ON DRIVERS SIDE OR LOWER PASSENGER SIDE. KEEPING THE WINDSHIELD IS PROBLEMATIC IN POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS. SERVICE MANAGER SAYS HE ISN'T GETTING ANY HELP FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER. AS TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN BELOW ZERO THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. *JB

WE ARE A JEEP FAMILY. JEEP LIBERTY 2002 WAS BROUGHT IN FOR RECALL ON THE BALL JOINTS ON 11/26/06. IN EARLY DEC WE STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH STEERING. BROUGHT THE JEEP INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED US $1680 TO REPLACE POWER STEERING PRESSURE LINE &SWITCH & RACK AND PINION. I WAS SURPRISED THAT A JEEP THIS NEW WOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT 3 OTHER JEEP LIBERTYS WERE SERVICED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITHIN THE LAST WEEKS. THEY SAID IT WAS STRANGE BECAUSE THE LIBERTYS HAD ALL JUST HAD THE RECALL WORK DONE ON THE BALL JOINTS. ALL 3 JEEP LIBERTYS HAD THE SAME POWER STEERING, RACK & PINON PROBLEM AFTER THE RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY THOUGHT MAYBE THERE WAS A CONNECTION TO THE RECALL BUT COULD NOT SAY THAT IT WAS DEFINITE. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT I WOULD CONTACT CHRYSLER JEEP AND SEE IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO MINE RECORDED. 1/31 I CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE (REFERENCE #15916486) AND TALKED TO SENIOR STAFF AGENT ANGELA. THE AGENT SAID THAT SHE RESEARCHED AND NO OTHER PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED ; JEEP DID NOT AGREE THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE RELATED TO THE RECALL. I DID GO ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE COMPLAINTS NOTED ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THE JEEP BALL JOINT PROBLEM CONTRIBUTED TO THE STEERING PROBLEM AND THAT JEEP SHOULD REPAIR MY CAR AT THEIR EXPENSE. JEEP DISAGREES. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE OR APPEAL PROCESS TO MAKE CHRYSLER FIX THE RACK & PINION PROBLEM OR AT LEAST CONTRIBUTE TO THE REPAIR.

I HAVE READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 1996 TOWN AND COUNTRY. I FIND IT INTERESTING HOW THE COMPLAINTS ARE EXACT TO ONE ANOTHER. DIFFERENT OWNERS, SAME PROBLEMS. CHRYSLER TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEMS OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED MINE SINCE 1999 AND HAVE EXPERIENCED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE CLAIMS THAT OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN AND WILL MAKE SURE TO LET THE PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT KNOW THE PROBLEMS OF THIS OVER PRICED HUNK OF RUSTED METAL. I WOULD CERTAINLY HATE TO SEE THEM GO THROUGH THE GRIEF I HAVE OWNING THIS VEHICLE! *NM

I OWN A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT HAS 2 SPECIFIC PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. JEEP CLAIMS THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND/OR CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM TO FIX. NO ERROR CODES ETC HOWEVER IF SOMEONE WOULD JUST READ THE JEEP FORUMS THEY WILL SEE THIS IS A "NATIONWIDE" ISSUE THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS WITH HUNDREDS OF NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS. HER FIRST ISSUE WITH MY JEEP IS WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR SITTING IDLE WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF. OF THE 8 TO 10 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPEN, TWICE THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO START UP AGAIN. WE HAD TO GIVE THE CAR ABOUT 5 MINS AND THEN IT STARTED RIGHT UP. DEALER FOUND SOME "RANDOM" ERROR CODES THAT WE WERE TOLD HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUE WE WERE HAVING. AT THE THIRD TIME WE TOO THE JEEP TO THE DEALER THEY CHANGED A SENOR AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FILTER AND FLUID. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND ON THE FOURTH TRIP TO DEALERSHIP THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE PER JEEP IN DETROIT. STILL NOT FIXED AND THE DEALER SHIP IS TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. ISSUE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. AFTER THE DEALER SHIP INSTALLED THE NEW SOFTWARE, THE SECOND ISSUE STARTED. THIS ISSUE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS AND WILL RESULT IN A LAWSUIT IF NOT FIXED. WHEN DRIVING AT REALLY ANY NORMAL SPEED THE CAR WILL ACT AS IF I THE DRIVER AM HITTING THE BRAKES REALLY HARD. NOT HARD ENOUGH TO LOCK THE WHEELS BUT HARD ENOUGH TO LEAVE A SEAT BELT REDNESS ON MY NECK FROM BEING SLUG FORWARD. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE RED BRAKE LIKE AND YELLOW ABS LIGHT COMES ON. THE ISSUE HAPPENS FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS AND THE CAR JUST REGROUPS AND KEEPS GOING. WE HAVE LOST COUNT OF THIS ISSUE BUY MY GUESS IS THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES. ON THE LAST 3-5 TIMES WHEN THE CAR LOCKS UP IT TURNS OFF THE RADIO WHEN IN THE PAST THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. ISSUE SEEMS TO BE ADDING MORE PROBLEMS AS TIME GOES ON. JEEP NEEDS TO READ THE FORUMS. *NM

PURCHASED BRAND NEW 06 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4. RIGHT FROM THE GET GO, ONCOMING CARS WOULD FLASH US AT NIGHT. I LEARNED LATER THAT THE 06 LOW BEAMS ARE 60% BRIGHTER THAN THE 05 MODEL. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO SOURG DODGE IN GOSHEN IN. THEY ARE COMPLETELY WORTHLESS. SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN PULLED OVER TWICE AND LAST NIGHT WAS RAN COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD. I TURNED MY LIGHTS ON AND HAD A FRIEND DRIVE PAST ME. HE VERIFIED. THE LIGHTS ARE BLINDING. I TOOK MY TICKET TO SORG DODGE. NO HELP, I'M ON MY OWN. UNLESS OF COURSE I WANT TO PURCHASE NEW LIGHTS. NO COSTUMER SERVICE WHAT SO EVER. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY FOR POOR QUALITY AND POOR SERVICE. THIS IS THE LOWEST PRICED SUV FOR A REASON. *NM

WE OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY TOURING VAN. AT APPROXIMATELY 16000 WE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE RACK & PINION AND BALL JOINTS. IT WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM -- WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ITEMS IN THAT AREA SINCE THEN. WE HAVE ENJOYED OUR VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR THIS PROBLEM -- THE LATEST INCIDENT IS THE TIE ROD END NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000 MILES ON IT AT THIS TIME. *NM

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AT VARIOUS TIMES, WITH NO OBVIOUS TRIGGERS. SOMETIMES IT'S ON FOR DAYS OR WEEKS, OTHER TIMES IT COMES ON AND GOES OFF EVERY FEW SECONDS, OTHER TIMES IT STAYS OFF FOR MONTHS. TOTALLY BIZARRE. I'M SICK OF IT, BUT I CAN'T TRADE IT IN WITH THE LIGHT CONSTANTLY DOING STUPID STUFF LIKE THAT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2003. IT'S A 2002 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 400 TIMES. *NM
