Dash developed several huge cracks on the passenger side. When first saw it and was checking it out the edge of one piece cut my hand.
The headlight covers has turned to a very opaque milky color severely limiting night visibility. I have noticed many chrysler vehicles on the road with the same discoloration.
For recall f25 from daimler chryselr I had the work completed provided a receipt for it produced to the company and they still will not reimburse me because they don't consider the receipt as proof of payment. They want the cancelled check.

The design of hub caps allowed snow to accumulate inside and caused the wheels to go out of balance and become unstable. 8nlm
