Consumer Description

GAS STRUTS SUPPORT THE HOOD WHEN RAISED ON THIS VEHICLE, IN LIEU OF THE MORE TRADITIONAL SPRINGS OR PROP. APPARENTLY, WHEN THE CAR MOVES FROM A MODERATE TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENT TO A COLD ENVIRONMENT AFTER A FEW YEARS OF SERVICE, THESE GAS STRUTS WILL NOT ADEQUATELY SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE HOOD, WHICH THEN FALLS ON THE DRIVER'S HEAD AS HE CHECKS THE OIL, CAUSING LACERATIONS AND POTENTIALLY A CONCUSSION OR OTHER SERIOUS INJURY. THE TRANSMISSION, WITH AGE, IN VERY COLD WEATHER, CAN REFUSE TO SHIFT INTO A FORWARD GEAR AFTER BACKING THE CAR OUT ONTO A ROADWAY, CAUSING A MAJOR POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROPENSITY SHOULD TRIGGER A RECALL BY CHRYSLER TO FORECLOSE SERIOUS INJURIES AND ACCIDENTS. *AK
