MY PASSENGER VEHICLE HAS A CRACK DEVELOPING IN THE DASH ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THIS CRACK IS ABOUT 5-6 INCHES LONG AND APPEARS TO BE GROWING. IT IS IN LINE WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SLIGHT DEPRESSION WHERE THE AIR BAG IS LOCATED. THIS CANNOT BE REPAIRED BY ANY COSMETIC MEANS DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF RENDERING THE AIR BAG INEFFECTIVE. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY OR SERVICE RECALL. THEY WILL REPLACE IT FOR A MERE #1100.00 PLUS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE SAFETY DEVICES ARE REQUIRED TO BE INSTALLED IN THE CARS WHEN THEY ARE NEW BUT THEY ARE NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY STANDARD THAT REQUIRES THE DEVICES TO BE FUNCTIONAL BEYOND THE DAY YOU PURCHASE THE VEHICLE? FOR ME AS A CUSTOMER THIS NEITHER PROTECTS ME BY ASSURING MY PERSONAL SAFETY NOR DOES IT PROTECT ME FINANCIALLY. THIS IS A RIP OFF. COULD ANY INDEPENDENT MANUFACTURER SURVIVE BUILDING THESE DEVICES AND SELLING THEM UNDER CONDITIONS THAT THEY WILL MOST LIKELY TO FAIL BEFORE YOU NEED THEM AND COST A BUNDLE TO REPAIR AND THAT INCLUDES NO WARRANTY. *LA

I HAVE A CHRYSLER 300 M VIN # [XXX]. THE AERODYNAMIC HEAD LIGHTS ON THE CAR DEVELOPED A HAZE THAT SEVERELY REDUCES THE ILLUMINATION OF THE ROADWAY AT NIGHT. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED WARRANTY. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS PROBABLY A GOVERNMENT STANDARD OR ENGINEERING STANDARD FOR THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF ROAD ILLUMINATION NEEDED TO MAKE OPERATION OF A VEHICLE SAFE AT NIGHT. I WONDER HOW MANY CARS ARE DRIVING IN SUBSTANDARD LIGHTING CONDITIONS DUE TO HAVING THESE PLASTIC LENSES THAT DO NOT HOLD UP TO ROAD CONDITIONS AND ARE SO HAZY AS TO MAKE SAFE DRIVING VISIBILITY QUESTIONABLE. I KNOW THAT ALL THE MODERN CARS HAVE THESE TYPE LENSES BUT HOW CAN THE NHTSA NOT REQUIRE THAT THESE DEVICES BE MADE TO ENDURE THE EXPECTED LIFE OF THE VEHICLES THEY ARE INSTALLED ON. WHEN THEY ARE NEW THEY LOOK GOOD. BEYOND 2 YEARS THEY BEGIN TO DETERIORATE RAPIDLY. AND HERE IS THE REAL CUSTOMER RIP OFF: THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT FOR A MERE $700 PLUS DOLLARS THEY CAN REPLACE THESE FIXTURES. THEY ALSO COME WITH NO GUARANTEE!. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE EARLIER MODEL CARS THAT HAD GLASS HEAD LAMPS AND COULD BE REPLACED FOR LESS THAT $ 10.00 TOTAL. THEY DID NOT HAZE UP LIKE THIS EXPENSIVE CHEAP PLASTIC. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW HOW MANY NIGHT TIME ACCIDENTS REALLY HAPPEN BECAUSE OF POOR VISIBILITY, YET DO NOT GET ATTRIBUTED TO SUCH SIMPLY BECAUSE THE DRIVERS DID HAVE THEIR LIGHTS ON AND THAT IS ALL THAT WAS CONSIDERED NECESSARY. AGAIN IF YOU DRIVE VERY MUCH YOU PROBABLY HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY THE ROAD PATROL AT NIGHT DUE TO HAVING A HEAD LAMP OUT. SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS JUST AS SIGNIFICANT AS DRIVING WITH A HEAD LAMP OUT. WHAT ARE WE MISSING HERE? IS IT AGAINST THE LAW FOR ME TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS? THERE MUST BE SOME REQUIREMENT TO ENSURE THAT MANUFACTURERS DESIGN WITH ADEQUATE LIGHTING FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT, AND THAT SHOULD MEAN THAT THE LIGHTING BE SERVICEABLE FOR THE EXPECTED LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. *LA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMA
