One crack started out as 2" long hairline, but have gotten bigger and now it is across the passenger side dashboard. And right below is suppose to have the passenger side safety airbag. Have called several places to find out how to get it fixed/ replaced - the only answer I get was Chrysler has stopped manufacturing the dashboard, so answer is to cover it up. I feel that Chrysler should replace the dashboards as there seem to be so many complaints about them. These car manufacturers waits for couple causalities before they wake up and the do something about it. . Read more...

The clockspring on this model is defective and needs to be replaced. After trying to order the part for repairs from numerous distributors and dealers, it was determined that Chrysler has not released an order to make and distribute the part! this is going on over 2 years for our vehicle and possibly longer for other owners of the same model. This part is vital to the safety of the driver, it's passengers and the operation of the vehicle, because it controls the airbag, turn signals and horn!!! the vehicle is unsafe in this condition and posses a possible risk to the driver and passengers in the event of an accident. Chrysler will not give us any information as to when they will release this part!.

Airbag clock spring defect! how many complaints need to filed before NHTSA responds to a major safety issue and investigates this for a possible recall? according to their guide lines, there is no specific number. Maybe they should consider all other vehicles manufactured by Chrysler in 2001, in the same group size but different models, I. E. Intrepid, concorde etc. And this doesn't include cars that people had fixed and or, cars no longer in service who's owners are not aware that it is a safety issue because it's out of warranty. Why are all of the other year and model cars from 1998 to present being recalled, except for the 2001 Lhs??? why is Chrysler charging 3x's as much more for this clock spring as compared to all the others that are almost identical. There can't be that much difference!!! maybe I should go on social media and launch my own campaign to see how many other people have this issue and are not aware of this process. This has been going on for me since 2012. Contacted Chrysler numerous times about this issue!.
