The inside drivers door latch broke where the latch mechanism connecting the rod attaches. I can only open the door from the outside. The handle assembly is molded I can't open the door quickly in the event of an emergency. The repair has not been completed, the door panel is on backorder.
: the contact stated the molding around all 4 doors comes unglued and hangs down during hot weather. The molding hardens and chips when the weather gets cold. Sometimes, the contact sustains minor injuries such as scratches on the head from the unglued molding when entering the vehicle. The contact had the molding replaced once in 2004. The problem reoccurred in 2005. The manufacturer was contacted but offered no resolution. Updated 10/31/2006 - the consuemr has gotten small cuts when brushing against the hard molding.
3 inch centers of wheels corroded off. Chrome door handles chrome peeling off driver & passenger door. Weather stripping hanging off rear doors. Door lock actuator motor malfunction.
The weather stripping on three of four doors on my 2000 Chrysler 300M (43,300 miles) has shrunk and is not covered under warranty. I researched several consumer websites and learned that this is an inherent problem on this model. I would like to know if this problem has been or can be investigated.
