DASHBOARD DEVELOPED A 10 -12" CRACK JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. DO NOT KNOW IF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WILL WORK OR NOT. IN ANY EVENT THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM, BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. DEALER(S) ARE OF NO HELP AS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALSO HAD THE COMMON PROBLEM OF THE HEADLAMPS/INSTRUMENTATION LIGHTS FLICKERING. HEADLAMPS WOULD FLASH ON/OFF ALONG WITH INSTRUMENT LIGHTING. HEADLIGHT SWITCH PANEL REPLACED, BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNED. *TR

WAS TRAVELING IN THIRD GEAR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED TO SECOND GEAR INDEPENDENTLY LOCKS IN 2ND GEAR (LIMP MODE) WHEN SLOWING OR STOPPING VEHICLE.ONCE YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, YOU CAN DRIVE WITH NORMAL GEARS. HOWEVER, ONCE YOU HIT 50-60 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND STAYS LOCKED IN SECOND GEAR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT NOW READS THE CODES P1776. *TR

DIAGNOSTICS SHOW CODE P0344 CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL J18 IN AUG 09. CALLED BOB MOORE DEALERSHIP (COMPLETED RECALL WORK) & CHRYSLER RECALL LINE. THEY BOTH SAY WON'T REPAIR UNDER ORIGINAL RECALL. THIS IS THE SAME EXACT PART/PROBLEM. IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET THEM TO HONOR THIS? MY CRUISE CONTROL SHUTS ITSELF OFF, LIGHTS DIM, AND FAILS TO START ON OCCASION.

CAR STALLED ON MAJOR ROADWAY. ONCE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. THEY HAD THE CAR FOUR DAYS. THERE WAS NO CODE TO SHOW PROBLEM. REPLACED CAM SENSOR. CAR IS NOW RUNNING FINE. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED FOR MY VEHICLE BOTH FRONT SPEAKERS QUIT WORKING. NOW BOTH BACK SPEAKERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. A FRIEND WHO HAS BEEN A MECHANIC FOR OVER 30 YEARS RECOMMENDED ME TO THIS SITE. I SEE NO RECORD OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS BUT HE SAID IN HIS YEARS OF SERVICE HE HAS NEVER HAD TO PUT 4 SPEAKERS IN A CAR--ESPECIALLY ONE OF THE AGE AND CALIBER OF THIS CAR. *TR
