| Recently had a failure of the gas tank venting system in our 2001 chrysler 300m. according to the dealer the vent lines used on the vehicle are not compatible with gasoline (essentially vacuum lines) and both were significantly eroded. the dealer informed me that they have seen this on chrysler vehicles with as little as 15,000 miles on them and that they do not use fuel line in the repair but simply replace with the original material. regardless, the repair was not covered under warranty as the hoses are considered a wear item. the dealer disposed of the original lines so i was unable to inspect the level of degradation but they said that one hose was leaking. *jb | |||

| My husband and i bought a new 2001 chrysler voyager minivan in april of 2001. as of 11/10/05 there was 51,000 miles on our 4 year old van. we took it to the dealership where we bought it for all servicing. we have not had any problems until 11/10/05. my husband was just driving down the street on his way home when the driver's seat frame broke in half and landed in the back seat! thankfully he did not get in an accident although the frame breaking did aggravate a previous back injury. we had to use our club (anti-theft device) to prop up the seat to be able to drive the van to the dealership the next day. unfortunately it was not covered under the warranty (we had an extended warranty). the service department at the dealership said it would be $1200-$1500 for parts alone for the mechanism?? our seats are manual seats...it was the frame that broke in half!!! needless to say we will never buy a chrysler product again!! we traded that van in that day and bought a new toyota vehicle. we only had the one vehicle and needed something drivable and reliable that day!!! we could possibly see something mechanical breaking down...but a driver's seat to break in half while you are driving??? that is so totally dangerous and definitely unexpected!!! *nm | |||

| I own a 2001 chrysler 300m with a crack in the dashboard above the passenger's side airbag. it is now grown to about 9 inches long. chrysler refused to do anything because it was past the 3 year/36,000 warranty. it only has 60,000 miles on it now. when the crack appeared there was about 50,000 miles on it. i visited a chrysler forum on the internet and found out that there were many people having the same problem. why was there not a recall? go to www.topix.net/forum/autos/chrysler and scroll down to the topic dealer should repair crack in dash. the comments were currently at 120! *ak | |||
