“I purchased my vehicle as a pre-certified car with only 14,100 original miles in june of 2003.

NHTSA complaint #10444289, filed 2012-01, 17,000 miles“Transmission is jerky, clunky and noisey from the day car was bought. Transmission is a bit better than my 1994 LHS which had complete transmission failure that started at 20,000 miles. Chrysler reimbursed me for cost of new transmission.”
NHTSA complaint #10045184, filed 2003-10, 25 miles“Today when I started to drive my 2000 LHS, it would not shift to the highest gear. The RPM's remained very high. The speedometer stays at zero.

When coming to a stop or when slowing around a corner, the oil light comes on and I lose power steering and the engine stalls. I cannot drive the car. I will contact the dealer (bermont motors, gilbertsville, pa) immediately. My 1994 LHS had total transmission failure and needed a whole new transmission. …”
NHTSA complaint #10114410, filed 2005-03, 370,007 miles“Vehicle floor shifter interlock system failed (see NHTSA campaign id # 04v021000), car rolled and caused some minor property and vehicle damage, could have been much worse. The 2000 LHS is not covered under above mentioned recall. The problem is exactly the same. Recall should be expanded to include later models effected.”
NHTSA complaint #10128275, filed 2005-07, 57,860 miles“The contact owns a 2000 Chrysler LHS. While turning the vehicle, the steering made a loud noise. The steering failure began in august of 2006. The dealer replaced the steering gear and the rack and pinion. In june of 2008, the steering failure recurred and the noise worsened. The manufacturer took a report and stated that they would not assist with the repairs due to the age of the vehicle. The contact will take the vehicle to another dealer for a diagnosis. …”
