The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

DRIVING APROX 10 MPH INTO TO SCHOOL PICK UP AND DROP OFF AREA, TO PICK UP CHILDREN AS SCHOOL WAS LETTING OUT. I LOST ALL STEERING FUNCTIONS, I HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED BACK TO MY RESIDENCE. MY HUSBAND FOUND THAT A BOLT HAD BROKE OFF THE TIE ROD ((RIGHT SIDE) GOING INTO THE RACK AND PINION AND THE (LEFT SIDE) BOLT TO THE TIE ROD HAD BACK OUT OF THE RACK AND PINION. THEIR WERE NO WARNING SIGNS THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE STEERING. I THANK THE GOOD LORD THAT IT HAPPENED WHERE AND WHEN IT DID, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT OUTCOME A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD WITH MYSELF AND 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR GOING 45-50 MPH ON THE 2 LANE ROAD GOING BACK TO OUR HOME. NOW AS I DRIVE OUR OTHER VEHICLE AROUND AND SEE A CHRYSLER 300M I WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE OCCUPANTS IN THAT VEHICLE AND THE OTHERS AROUND THEM. *TR

SMELLED GAS COMING FROM DRIVERS SIDE REAR OF ENGINE WITH SMALL DROPS FALLING ON EXHAUST PIPE I LOOKED THIS UP AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON 1999 CHRYSLERS BUT DID NOT LIST MY 2000 MODEL. APPARENTLY THIS PROBLEM WAS NEVER REMEDIED AS THE PREVIOUS YEAR WAS RECALLED BUT THE NEXT MODEL YEAR USED THE SAME PARTS BUT WAS NOT RECALLED. I WENT ONLINE CHECKING TO SEE IF OTHERS HAD THIS EXPERIENCE AND THERE WERE MANY OTHERS THAT COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM. MOST OF THEM SAID IT WAS FROM A PLASTIC PART THAT HOOKED TO THE FUEL LINE CONNECTING TO A FUEL INJECTION DISTRIBUTION CENTER. I CALLED A CHRYSLER PARTS DEPARTMENT AT A DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER HAD CHANGED THE WAY THIS LINE WAS MADE BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE LHS AND 300M MODELS. THESE MODEL CARS ARE UNSAFE TO OPERATE BECAUSE OF A FAULTY MANUFACTURED GAS LINE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND COULD CAUSE FIRES AND POSSIBLE INJURIES OR WORSE. *TR

ON MONDAY, 5/20, I WAS EXITING MY 2000 CHRYSLER 300M AND AS I PULLED THE INTERIOR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE, THE CHROME PLATING ON THE HANDLE SPLIT ALONG THE TOP SEAM, SLICING A DEEP GASH IN MY MIDDLE FINGER. AFTER ATTENDING TO THE WOUND, I FOUND THAT THE CENTER OF THE DOOR HANDLE NOW HAS A 2" SECTION OF THE CHROME FINISH THAT HAS TORN AWAY FROM THE HANDLE, LEAVING A HORIZONTAL, RAZOR-SHARP PROTRUSION THAT COULD CUT ME AGAIN AT ANYTIME. FEARING THIS HAZARD WOULD CAUSE FURTHER INJURY TO ME OR MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY, I CONTACTED MY DEALER, BRANDYWINE CHRYSLER JEEP IN WILMINGTON, DE ABOUT GETTING A REPLACEMENT HANDLE FOR THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE PARTS DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T MAKE REPLACEMENT DOOR HANDLES; I WOULD NEED TO ORDER A WHOLE NEW INTERIOR DOOR PANEL AT A COST OF $309, NOT TO MENTION THE $70/HOUR LABOR TO INSTALL IT. I WENT TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT YESTERDAY, 5/21, AND THE SERVICE GUY REMEMBERED HAVING A DOOR PANEL IN THE SHOP AND WENT TO SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING HE COULD DO. HE RETURNED TO TELL ME THAT THERE'S NO WAY TO REMOVE THE HANDLE FROM THE PANEL WITHOUT DAMAGING IT, AND TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE THE DOOR PANEL BECAUSE THE PROTRUDING STRIP OF CHROME FINISH CANNOT BE REPAIRED. EVEN IF IT WERE POSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE TREACHEROUS 2" SECTION OF FINISH FROM THE HANDLE, THAT WOULD LEAVE TWO EQUALLY SHARP AND DANGEROUS VERTICAL EDGES RUNNING COMPLETELY AROUND THE HANDLE. TODAY I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE VIA EMAIL ABOUT THE DEFECT, AND THEY SENT ME A CURSORY RESPONSE THAT SAID THERES NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE THE HANDLE IS PART OF THE DOOR ASSEMBLY. THEY DIDNT EVEN MENTION THE INJURY OR DEFECTIVE HANDLE.*AK
