BLIND SPOT MONITOR - SENSOR FAILURE AFTER ONLY 2.5 YEARS - BOTH BLIND SPOT SENSORS HAVE FAILED - DUE TO THE POSITION CHRYSLER HAVE LOCATED THEM AND THE LACK OF PROTECTION PROVIDED IN THAT LOCATION. WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ON ALL THE CHRYSLER RANGE WHICH THE COMPANY REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR. LOCATION MEANS SENSORS GET SEVERELY CORRODED IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME LEADING TO FAILURE OF THIS SAFETY FEATURE. SENSORS SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 8 WEEKS AGO. SPOKE TO CHRYSLER WHO INSIST THIS IS NOT A DESIGN FLAW BUT CLEARLY IT IS.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AT NIGHT COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SHUT DOWN, ENGINE MUST BE RESTARTED. THIS IS HAPPENING SPORADICALLY ,
