| I came outside one day and pressed the keyless alarm and heard a loud eeeeeeehhhhhhh noise. it was my drivers side rear door lock making this loud obnocious sound. that was back in april of 2004. then just this month (november) the driver side front door started making the same noise. this results in me having to press the remote 4 and 5 times just to open the door. as far as the back door, i have to press the keypad several times and then open the lock from the inside. on top of that, one day when i went to open the front passenger side door, the latch just popped. now, you have to roll the window down in order to get out of the car on that side. god forbid i am ever in an accident because whoever is on that side or sitting behind me will definitely be trapped in the vehicle. at this moment, i am trying to get money up to get these issues fixed because the estimate that i received for just the rear and passenger side doors was almost $400 alone. that's not including the lighter that just stopped working completely or the driver side window the fall into the door if you attempt to roll it down.*ak | |||

| On june 9, 2005 i left a restaurant after lunch. i drove approximately 1 minute at 30-35 mph when the engine started running roughly and losing power. since i was on a surface street and going slowly i was able to safely pull over into a gas station and turn the car off. it took approximately 30-45 seconds to drive the car the 300-400 yards to the gas station. i had the car towed to my mechanic who advised me that there was a hole in the middle driver's side piston and that it appeared to be caused by a part of the valve seat falling off and becoming loose within the piston/cylinder. this caused a hole in the piston which polluted the oil which destroyed the engine/manafold, etc. the sudden loss of engine power could have been extremely serious at freeway speeds or even on surface streets. i was lucky that there was very light traffic. the car is at la brea chrysler (323) 933-5501. daimler/chrysler has been contacted and the response was that it is out of warranty and that there was nothing that they could do. i will request that the old parts be kept so that they are available. | |||

| I have a 2000 chrysler 300m. at 15mph, the doors lock automatically. that is normal. however, last month, the locks on the passenger side lock and cannot be opened by the passenger. if the driver were injured in an accident, there would be no way for the passenger to get out of the right side of the car. | |||
