Electrical exterior and exterior flashing and blinking consistently. Check engine light stays on even after having tune up. Heating and ac doesn't properly work at all times intermittently.

Air bag on the passenger side of 2000 lbs chrysler, deployed while driving on a city road. Vehicle was traveling straight ahead, approximately 35mph.

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 chrysler lhs. While driving approximately 20 mph, the driver seat fractured. The contact pulled the vehicle over and received assistance from the police to help prop the seat up. The contact was able to drive to her residence. The dealer stated that the seat needed to be replaced. After the first failure, the contact received a new pin due to an unknown recall. After the second seat fracture, the entire seat was replaced.

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. Being proactive is an issue for them! Seems like dashboard crack is chrysler's expertise in general, have also found complains on their 300m at http://www.Carcomplaints.Com/chrysler/300m/2000/accessories-interior/cracked_dashboard.Shtml. *tr

Heater display doesn't work. *tr

For some time now when i would start my car ,i would hear a banging sound and feel the steering wheel move. I took the car for service and tie rod ends and i think center link were replaced . It was fine for a while and than i started to get a grinding noise when the wheel was turned. Took it in for service and nothing could be found. On feb. 16th 2012 i was leaving work and noticed the grinding and banging had increased. My route home consists mostly of right turns. It is when i attempted to make a left turn off a busy bridge ,to my horror the wheel would not turn left, it took every ounce of my strength to finally get the wheel to turn. I drove slowly the remainder of my trip home, each time a left turn came i had to use all my strength to turn the wheel. I could not park the car properly on my arrival as my strength was gone and i was extremely emotional. I talked to a co-worker with the same vehicle and he is having a similar problem but continues to drive as he can muscle the wheel. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 chrysler lhs. The contact was driving 45 mph when the power steering failed and the front driver side control arm detached from the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and the vin was unavailable. The failure and the current mileages were 99,000.

Both of the my front doors do not open from the inside. Not only my car but i know of some other people that i talked to with the same problem to many people with the same thing happening to their car. Now that is very dangerous,something could happen and a person would be trapped inside and not able to get out. *tr

I was involved in a three car accident. The car i was driving was a 2000 chrysler lhs. I t-boned a car resulting in both cars being totaled. The damage to the front of my car was extensive: hood, fenders, front end, and radiator all destroyed. Neither of the two front air bags deployed. *tr
