I have replaced 7 Goodyear tires on my 1999 300M as well as one chrome rim (several serious blowouts). The driver & passenger window motors required replacement. Have mysterious 2 inch dashboard crack near passenger side airbag. Replaced sensors (crank case?). chafing wires cause unexpected stalls & failures. Local dealer trying to diagnose current problem-car stalls after shift into drive. Afraid to keep a car with only 42,000 miles. Love the look & room of the car but may be too dangerous to risk stalling on a highway at 65mph or missing an interview.

Passenger side air bag is not a separate unit in the dashboard area. There is a very large vertical tear/crack on the left hand side the entire length of the airbag. It is obvious this is a defect in the dashboard area where the airbag sits underneath. The crack is of concern because we are concerned the airbag could disengage and our safety is a factor. The cost to repair this is the cost of an entire new dashboard in the amount of $1200 plus. Chrysler calls this cosmetic and will not cover the repair.
