general problems of the 2002 Chrysler 300M

The horn does not work which in the state of new hampshire is a safety inspection item, and the dashboard lights work intermittently (not working more often than working) rendering the gauges unreadable at night. Not sure the exact date of the horn failure, but the steering wheel cruise control and audio controls stopped working, and I checked some forums that confirmed said failure might also disable the horn, and that is what happened. The problem occurs even when parked.

The contact owns a 2002 Chrysler 300m. The contact stated that the vehicle shifted down into a lower gear several times without warning and then the vehicle stalled repeatedly. The contact had to constantly pull the vehicle over, turn off the vehicle, and reset the computer in the vehicle to prevent the failure. The contact indicated that the failure became progressively worse. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for further inspection. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

Headlights blink on there own.

The contact owns 2002 Chrysler 300m. While the vehicle was parked the contact stated that the headlights would turn on and off on without assistance. The radio, cruise control and traction control also turned on and off as well. The tire pressure light illuminated on the dashboard but the tire pressure was checked and there was not a problem. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the technicians were able to duplicate the failure but could not diagnose the failure since it was electrical. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000.

Originally the dash on the car would flicker on and off. For the last 16 months the number 7 fuse blows and takes out the dash and the tail lights. If you are driving at night it becomes a very dangerous situation. The dealers have looked at this problem a dozen times or more and it has yet to be resolved.
