EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THERE WAS NO CRASH BUT THERE IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE CAR ARE THE WORSE I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED (OWNER 12 CARS). WHEN YOU TURN THE CORNER ON A UN LIT STREET THERE IS A BIG BLIND SPOT LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAVE ALMOST ALREADY HIT 3 PARKED CARS CLOSE TO THE CORNET BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE THEM NOR THE CURB. EVEN DRIVING ON A ROAD IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE BLINDERS ON THE LIGHTS LEFT AND RIGHT. CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND THERE ARE NO ADJUSTMENTS TO BE MADE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE ESCAPED EVERYONE'S ATTENTION. CAN YOU PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LIGHTING IS SO POOR ON RURAL ROADS THAT YOU MUST DRIVE WITH THE BRIGHTS ON. THE LOW BEAMS ONLY WORK FOR THE FIRST 15 FEET OR SO AND THEN WHEN GOING DOWN A SLIGHT DECLINE THE FAR DISTANCE OR "NIGHT HORIZON" JUST DISAPPEARS LIKE A CURTAIN DROPPED DOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD. YOU LITERALLY LOSE SIGHT OF THE ROAD. SAME SITUATION WHEN TURNING. ITS REALLY SCARY. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID HE DROVE ONE HOME AND ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD. HE AGREES WITH MY PROBLEM. I'M TOLD THERE IS NO FIX. IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED I GUARANTEE THERE WILL BE ACCIDENTS WITH THIS CAR. I'M TOLD IF THERE ARE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS SOMETHING WILL BE DONE BY YOUR ORGANIZATION. HELP--I DON'T WANT TO DIE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR'S GAS PEDAL BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE. YOU CAN NOT ACCELERATE. IN MULTIPLE INCIDENCES, I HAVE BEEN NEARLY HIT ON THE FREEWAY DUE TO MY ABRUPT LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS AND INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR WAS FINE. IN THE FINAL INCIDENT, I WAS GOING 75 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR GET THE CAR TO GO. THE CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED 70 MILES TO MY HOME BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT HAS BEEN 5 DAYS AND STILL HAVE NOT HEARD FROM CHRYSLER. *TR
