I have several issues/defects it started @ 8/29/00 both door moldings fell off they had to replace door cladding, started before 7/9/02 but took car in on that date because paint delaminated and was peeling covered 100% by dailmer Chrysler and still as of 6/9/04 I am still fighting with daimler Chrysler to repaint the vehicle, the whole paint job/clear coat is coming off the car. But now they only will cover 50% and only the areas affected therefore, I will continue to have this problem until the car is completely repainted because logically the whole car was painted with the same paint and little by little the paint is delaminating in several areas and will continue unitl the car is entirely repainted. 2 recalls- recall #967 lower ball joints and recall #884 molding trim clips, brakes squealing, brakes replaced twice 08/24/02 & 05/04/04 and rotors resurfaced, tires replaced 3 times, the passenger handle broke and can't enter the car from passenger have to open door from inside. The drivers side inside molding where the door and window buttons are came off and the plastic air vents broke, I am in the process to get the inside moldings, air vents and passenger handle estimates to get it fixed and mailing. Daimler/Chrysler my issues especially the paint defects.

The consumers vehicle was taken to a Goodyear service center because it appeared that two of the tires had a slow leak, after inspection it was noted that only one tire had a leak and the dealer resealed the tire around the rim, the next day while driving the consumer noticed that the vehicle was pulling to the right while driving and later that day the consumer went to check on the tire and found that it went flat, the vehicle was taken back to the service center where no problems could be found and the tire was remounted on the vehicle, later that evening while driving the tire blew out causing vehicle to pull violently to the left.(no tire info was given.) nlm

On October 16, 2001 the car had a blowout on the right rear passsenger side. Upon taking the tire to discount tire, they stated the tire was faulty and blew from within, and would return the tire to the company. Then on November 6, 2001, the second tire blew on the right rear side again, on an interstate at 60mph, this time the car rocked back and forth then spun around three times before coming to a stop next to the concrete wall facing oncoming taffic. The tow truck was called and they changed the tire, stating the tire had excellent tread and there were no holes or etc, but the tire had blow from within around entire back of the tire and the rim was destroyed. The consumer is asking reimbursement for the tires and the damaged rim. (dot number: M6pclnwr-2 tiresize: P215/sor17)

I have had repeated problems with the tires. Due to poor construction I have been forced to repeatedly purchase new tires. My first incident occurred a year and a half after purchase of the vehicle. Within the 45 M.P.H. area the tire exploded and ruined the aluminum rim completely. I immediately took the wheel and tire to a nearby hibdon tire center where they checked the tire and concluded it was faulty. They explained to me the tire's steel belt had shifted casuing it to tear out the side wall of the tire which caused it to "blowout." Now more recently, my original three tires have also shifted steel belts. Two of these three have began to reveal side wall tearing. I have looked for other brands of tires which may solve the problem, but since the tire size (P215-50-R17) is so rare, I have had no luck. The orignal tire sytle (Goodyear Eagle rs-a) is also quite expensive, but being the only correct sized tire I have no choice but to purchase the problem tires to replace all three original tires.

I purchased this vehicle used with only 17,611 miles on it in 2/01 from my niece. Since then I have had 3 flats and the tires look has though they were shredded. Not only does this cost me a fortune but it is rediculous that the tires are failing a low speeds and low mileage. The tire dealer told me that the Chrysler design is poor and dangerous. The rim is too big for the wheel well so the tire sidewall was manufactured to be too small and therefore the tire does not have enough cushion.

Have had three flat tires in the last year for no reason. I don't know if there is a problem with the tire or the wheel. The last time the tire went flat and was inspected by a non Goodyear dealer, I was told there was a defect in the sidewall. He said if it was a product that he carried they would have replaced the tire. The tires have a lot of tread wear left and have been rotated and balanced. Goodyear replaced the tire admitting there was a problem but still charged me $94. I am very unhappy with the fact that I drive a car less than two years old, take good care of it and have these problems. I currently have another flat tire and will have it inspected later this week. Each tire that has gone flat has been on a different wheel in a different area each time. No two flats have been on the same wheel. Most of my driving is in town. I have probably put 6,000 highway miles on the car on various trips. I have never exceeded 80 mph and have not had any handling problems. (tiresize: P215/50/17)( dot number: Tire size: P215/50/17 )

Michelin tires went flat on two occasions, the dealer stated both times that the consumer must have hit a curb hard, however the consumer had not and is requesting reimbursement for the replacement of two of the faulty tires.
