“Dt: there is an electrical short throughout the vehicle. The problem first startedon may 1, 2005. The first thing to go wrong was one of the speakers, whick made a static sound when it was turned off. Then, the lights on the dashboard started flashing on and off. Next all the electrical units flashed. The problem was constant and ongoing. It occurred even when the engine iwasturned off. This has caused the consumer to have the battery replaced twice.”

“As I was jacking up the car to replace the flat tire, the jack broke and the car fell to the ground with me right in front of it. The car was on level ground. This was the 2nd time the jack was used. I called the dealer and they told me I was out of warranty. They told me to call Chrysler and they told me that I was out of warranty and to write a letter to Chrysler corp. I have been in contact with an engineer at Chrysler who is familiar with the lh jack and will be looking into the root cause. No word yet from Chrysler's customer service.”
