What owners wrote

1. Came out of gear when in park and crashed sustaining 5000.00 dollars in damage. Had received a letter from daimler-chrysler in 2002,however it was not dated stating the car could do this. No recalls were present at the time. They denied any problem when car crashed. Called an attorney who was a relative that told without a doubt (100%) the car would do this. He then called me back and stated he could not represent me because he represented daimler-chrysler.

Automatic headlights turn on and off in rapid sequence when driving on street lamp lit streets. Work fine on dark country roads, but not in town. Must turn headlights to manual.
