AS FOR ME, I DIDNT HAVE ANY BROKEN BONES BUT I SUFERED SEVERE BRUISING. I WAS IN SHOCK AND MINUTES AFTER THE ACCIDENT I STARTED FEELING SHARP PAINS TO THE LEFT PART OF MY CHEST CONSTANTLY LIKE NEEDLES STABING OVER AND OVER. IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO BREATH. I COULDN'T GET A FULL BREATH. THE LAST FEW DAYS I'VE STARTED HAVING MUSCLE SPASMS IN MY LEFT SIDE OF MY NECK AND UPPER LEFT ARM/SHOULDER. OTHER PAIN I'VE BEEN HAVING I'VE EXPLAINED TO THE DOCTOR AND OTHERS AND THEY TELL ME THAT IT IS MY SIATIC (DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL IT) NERVE. IF I STAND WRONG OR REACH UP WITH MY ARMS THE PAIN GOES FROM MY LOWER BACK AND ALL THE WAY DOWN THE BACK OF MY LEGS. IT'S A DEEP ACHING PAIN THAT SEEMS TO BE AGGRIVATING. IT IS WORSE IN THE MORNIGS OR WHEN IT IT COLD. I HAVE TO TAKE MUSCLE RELAXERS, DONT KNOW IF THERE IS ANY PERMANENT DAMAGE. ONLY TIME WILL TELL. CAT SCAN AND X-RAYS CAME BACK OK. NO BROKEN BONES. I HAVE THE POLICE REPORT OF THE INCIDENT BUT AT THIS TIME I DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO SCAN AND DOWNLOAD. IF ITS NEEDED I CAN PROVIDE IT AT A LATER TIME. I HAVE AN ATTORNEY.

CONSEQUENCES: IF THE SEAT BACK UNEXPECTEDLY RECLINES WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN, IT COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE RECLINER BOLTS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON APRIL 23, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403. POTENTIAL UNITS AFFECTED: 1066000 ******* MY COMPLAINT IS WITH CHRYSLER. THE DEALER (JACK KEY IN LAS CRUCES) SAYS THE CAR WAS FIXED IN 2005 (I KNOW IT WAS NOT BECAUSE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE I DROVE IT OFF OF THE SHOW ROOM FLOOR). DEALER SAY NOT COVERED BY RECALL. CALLED ABOVE 800 # AND CHRYSLER SAYS SAME. DEALER SAYS I HAVE TO PAY FOR FIX. IT'S NOT THE MONEY THAT BOTHERS ME. IT'S THE FACT THAT I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT A RECALL STATES AND THE COMPANY IS NOT GOING TO FIX IT FOR FREE. CHRYSLER SAYS THEY FIXED IT BUT YET THE EXACT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, THAT'S NOT A FIX. REPLACING A FAULTY/GOING TO BREAK/RECALLED PRODUCT/... WITH THE EXACT SAME PART IS NOT A FIX IN MY BOOK. WHEN YOU RECALL SOMETHING, YOU FIX IT WITH SOMETHING THAT WON'T GET RECALLED AGAIN. CHRYSLER, IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS LIKE THIS THAT COST YOU CUSTOMERS. THANK YOU, *TR
