About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
While driving along at approximately 65 mph the gas gauge suddenly went from 1/4 to zero. In addition the tachometer went to zero, the temp gauge went to the off gauge and the speedometer went to 120 and stayed there. The ABS light also came on and stayed there. This is a major safety defect and my research reveals that it is a known problem and due to poor cold solder joints on the instrument cluster circuit board. Multiple vehicle owners have reported this problem and many people have paid for repairs that they should not have had to pay for because of a defective printed circuit board problem. If the problem has been in existence since production it seems reasonable that the problem should be fixed at no cost to the vehicle owner. Not knowing vehicle speed, fuel level, engine temp is a major hazard and an accident waiting to happen.

I was driving to the train station on the morning of August 29th when suddenly all of the van's interior lights came on. The lights stayed on for a few seconds and then went off by themselves, just as they had came on. As soon as the lights went off, all of the power door locks, including the rear gate, spontaneously unlocked. I re-locked the doors by using the locking switch on the drivers door. However, the sequence of the interior lights coming on, going off, and then all doors and the rear gate unlocking happened two more times, for a total of three times. It did not happen again after the third time. I called smith haven Chrysler Plymouth as soon as I got to work and made an appointment for Friday, September 1st. The problem did not occur again either before or after I took the car in for service. They could not duplicate the problem when they examined the car. But since the doors unlocked by themselves I wanted to make sure that it was reported. I often have my grandchildren in the van and even though they are always buckled in, I don't want to have to wonder whether or not the doors are going to someday unlock themselves. So far it appears to have been an isolated incident.

If your not the correct organization to report this too, and you know the correct organization could you please forward this to them? this morning on the way to work my 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager's electrical system cut off and cut right back on again for no apparent reason. The cd player cut off, the door locks activated, the lights went out but the ABS light came on afterwards. I was not going extremely fast about 45miles per hour, on a straight road with no bumps or vibrations to shake something loose. I'm concerned because if this had happened while I was passing someone it could have possibly caused an accident. I called the dealer and was told no one else had complained of this problem but thought I should let someone know in case it was a serious, re-call type of, problem
