SEAT BELTS
I READ AN ARTICLE ONLINE ABOUT DEFECTIVE SEAT BELTS MODEL GEN3 ON CHRYSLER LHS VEHICLES FROM 1994 THRU 2001. I SAW VIDEOS OF HOW THEY WERE TESTED AND HOW THEY FAILED. I CHECKED MY SEAT BELTS ON MY CHRYSLER LHS 1997 AND FOUND THAT THEY TOO FAILED THE TEST. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER DEALER BUT SAID THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT APPLY TO THE RECALL AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY THE PARTS AND HAVE THEM REPLACED. I JUST RECENLY OBTAINED THIS VEHICLE AND I DON'T THINK THAT I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR UNSAFE PARTS INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER.*AK

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE THROTTLE BODY OF MY CAR IS DEFECTIVE AND CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS DEFECT. THEY HAVE SENT SERVICE BULLETINS OUT TO DEALERSHIPS, BUT HAVE FAILED TO NOTIFY CAR OWNERS. IN THE EARLY STAGES THE CAR RUNS VERY POORLY, AS THE THE THROTTLE BODY BEGINS TO DETERIORATE MORE RAPIDLY, IT CHANGES THE SPEED OF THE CAR WITH NO NOTICE AND WITHOUT ANY EFFORT FROM THE DRIVER. THE CAR CAN ACTUALLY LUNGE FORWARD AT A COMPLETE STOP BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART. I WAITED SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN A THROTTLE BODY ON MY OWN. THE SERVICE DEPT. OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS USELESS IN THIS EFFORT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SECOND THROTTLE BODY IS NO BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE. THE CAR IS BEGINNING TO ACT THE SAME WAY. CHRYSLER KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM, THEY'VE SENT SERVICE BULLETINS TO THE DEALERSHIPS ABOUT IT. THIS VERY CLEARLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT TO DATE I HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING IN THE WAY OF NOTICE FROM THEM. WHEN I CALLED THE CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS CONSUMER DIVISION, MY CONCERNS AND COMPLAINT WERE ESSENTIALLY DISMISSED BY THEM. *LA
