Odometer and tachometer stop and start functioning intermittently. I understand this is a known and common probelm with this year/model. Why won't Chrysler recall and repair this obvious defect in the car?.

3 Dash Wiring problem

Electronic gear selection indicator, electronic odometer, and tach. Guage do not work. Have to guess what gear vehile is in. Never works when car is started, but about 50% of time it will start working after driving for 10-15 minutes.

Wiring came apart under dash leaving portion of instrument panel inoperable.

5 Dash Wiring problem

At any time, either when I first started the car or while driving digital odometer goes blank and the tachometer falls to 0 rpm. This occurs everytime I drive the car. Sometimes they will come back on and sometimes they won't. Also, even though the odometer has went blank, it continues to count the milage of the car.

6 Dash Wiring problem

"electronic" odometer and other dashboared components failed intermittently while driving. Dealer diagnosed that the printed circuit board failed, and advised it was a common occurrence.
