TRACK LIGHT ON DASHBOARD SHOWS OFF , ABS LIGHT SHOWS ON DASHBOARD, WHEN BRAKES APLLIED LIGHTLY THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD INDICATING ABS WENT INTO EFFECT.*AK

CONSUMER WAS BACKING OUT, PUT VEHICLE IN DRIVE, AND VEHICLE WOULD ONLY GO BACK. CONSUMER TRIED 4 TIMES, SAME RESULT. ON LAST TRY, SHE BACKED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER, WHO COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. ALSO, CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO SENT AN INDIVIDUAL TO EXAMINE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER WILL MAIL HER WHATEVER THEY FOUND OUT.*AK

RIM ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE HAS A GROOVE ON THE INSIDE WHICH CAUSES TIRE NOT TO CREATE A SEAL, RESULTING IN SLOW LEAK IN THE TIRE. THIS CAUSED TIRE TO RUB AGAINST RIM. DEALERSHIP GAVE OWNER A NEW RIM, BUT COULD NOT REPLACE THE TIRE. GOODYEAR WOULD NOT REPLACE THE TIRE. *AK *SLC

DRIVER'S RESTRAINT JAMMED. DEALER HAS INSPECTED VEHICLE, AND ORDERED REPLACEMENT PART. PART WAS ON BACK ORDER.*AK

OILY FILM IS BLOWN ON THE WINDSHIELD AND THROUGH OUT THE CAR FROM THE DEFROST VENTS. THIS BUILD UP IS CONTINOUS WHILE THE A/C IS ON DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. THE DEALER CAN NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM OR KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS DESIGNED TO RETURN TO ITS PREVIOUSLY LOCKED POSITION AFTER BEING FOLDED AND MOVED FORWARD TO ALLOW ENTRY/EXIT OF REAR PASSENGERS. THE RETURN TO PREVIOUS LOCKED POSITION IS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE WITHOUT FURTHER DISENGAGING THE SEAT LOCKING LEVER. INSTEAD, IT IS NECESSARY TO DISENGAGE THE FOLDING SEAT LEVER, FOLD THE SEAT BACK TO A NEW POSITION, AND THEN RE-ENGAGE THE SEAT LOCK. AS THE SHOULDER OF THE SEAT BELT IS ANCHORED TO THE TOP OF THE SEAT, THERE WILL BE NO SEAT BELT PROTECTION SHOULD THE SEAT BACK DISENGAGE AT A SUDDEN STOP. SINCE THE SEAT BACK LOCK MECHANISM IS OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING PROPERLY ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL, THE RISK OF SEAT BACK UNLOCKING IS SERIOUSLY INCREASED. BY THEIR INDIFFERENCE TO MY OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE DESPITE THIS DEFECT, THE DEALER HAS DEMONSTRATED IGNORANCE OF THE RISK JUST DESCRIBED. IN ADDITION, THE DEALER AT FIRST MINIMIZED THE REPAIR PROBLEM. THEN FAILED TO REPAIR IT. THEN ORDERED "THE WRONG PART". THE CAR IS WITH THE DEALER TODAY, HAVING INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR IS READY TO BE DRIVEN AWAY BY ME UNTIL THE NEW PART ARRIVES. THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED IN THIS CONDITION, PRESUMABLY AFTER A DEALER SAFETY INSPECTION. I SUGGEST INSPECTION OF CHRYSLER RECORDS FOR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *AK

AFTER BEING CUT OFF BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, CONSUMER'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL, AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND THEN VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. *AK

DRIVER'S SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT PROPERLY, LEAVING OCCUPANT WITHOUT ANY RETRAINT IF NEEDED. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND IS AWAITING ON PART SINCE THE ABOVE INCIDENT DATE. . *AK CONSUMERS SAID THAT SEAT BELT WORKS BUT THE ONE INSTALLED IS A REAR SEAT BELT LIES ON A SIDE OF A SEAT BACK CHEWING AND JAMS BETWEEN SEAT BACK. *YH

WHEN DRIVING DRIVER' S SIDE SEAT LATCH, WHICH HOLDS THE SEAT IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION, FAILED CAUSING THE SEAT TO RECLINE IN THE REST POSITION. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER, DEALER HAS YET TO REPLACE PARTS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK
