 Dash is splitting where air bag goes i bought car oct. 1999 i only had 10,200 miles on it, sits in garage when not driven. i feel this is a safety issue will it deploy accidentally on my passenger for no reason or not deploy at all. i felt it's a mfg. error and it should be replaced. they will for a 250.00 fee which i don't think is right. they never return your calls . ( auto west chrysler in roseville, ca. ) i've also talk to there cs in mich. file#11761879. one service mangerroseville said the 1999 chrysler lsh dash had a problem with this issue -- it's a $35,000 car. i don't think this should happen. i had taken a extended warranty out but i guess it doesn't cover this problem . *la

 The piston that holds the truck lid open or up failed. the trunk on this model is very heavy, so it dropped very fast. my wife was unloading some luggage and only just was able to pull her arm out as the lid fell. had it hit her, it would have broken her arm or possible severed a hand or fingers.*ak
