What owners wrote
While motoring along, my wife and I noticed an acrid smell which became more and more intense until our eyes began to burn and it became clear that the acrid smell was from our own vehicle, and not from another source such as some other vehicle driving ahead of us. We pulled off the road and immediately we saw smoke coming from the passenger-side sun visor which was is the up position. We shut the car off and flipped down the sun visor to see what was going on, and the visor broke off as we did so.
Chrysler is still not making this part available to dealers so that it can be installed. This part can fail without warning and cause the engine to stall while in motion. My dealer is ready and willing to replace this relay, but it is not yet in production.
