2000 Chrysler LHS Body and structure Problems

“While driving my Chrysler 2000 LHS at 65 MPH in florida, the hood molding became detached from my car and landed on the highway behind me. The Chrysler dealer told me that this is a common occurrence and that there is an obvious defect in the design of the hood molding. I called Chrysler to report the incident, but they told me they do not intend to do anything about this safety hazard.”

“Headlights are clouding over causing dimness in night and decreased visibility while driving. I have noticed this on other Chrysler products but not other manufacturers. Dealer said there was no recall. I also had a front passenger door actuator replaced. The handle does not operate properly now. Auto shop performed repaired at my expense. The passenger airbag storage is cracked.”

“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. …”

“There was a problem with the front end of the car before I bought it, I was told by the dealer that everything was checked and all it needed was a rotate and tire balance.a few months later I take it in to have it checked becuase it has gotten worse. All left turns would make the driver side slam down like I hit a pothole and it made teribble noises going over bumps. A different dealer told me I needed four new tie rods and a rack & pinion. I had those replaced, the tie rods were not under warranty, I also had the AC compressor, transmission service,and transmission cooler lines replaced. …”

“While driving at 70 MPH a plastic piece on the hood started to vibrate and flew off. The consumer felt that the part should have been bolted. The replacement part was still clipped and was not of the same material.”
