How about a FUNCTIONAL roof rack - not some plastic peice of crap!!! A real roof rack with adjustable crossbars that can be set to nearly the entire entire length of the roof. Something capable of hauling say a 17-foot canoe or kayak. Now add some real tie-down points front and back to better sescure the boat to the top of the car. This isn't rocket science. Just build a FUNCTIONAL car. But I guess the guys in the design department would rather give us extras like illuminated cup holders or air conditioned glove compartments. What BONEHEADS!!!!! |

Has anyone had this problem? On a hot and humid day, the air conditioner will have condensation flow down into the 6 disc changer, and cause the whole thing to give off an "error" message until it's dry. How about this one. What genius decided it was a good idea to have a cream ceiling with no screen for the sun roof? The ceiling in the back of my caliber is disgusting because all the dirt just flows in and sticks. Or for those of you that have a manual, does your car jerk when on cruise control, and going down hill to maintain speed? I've had both of my dodges just shut off while idling. Anyone had that?

Replying to: general13 (Aug 29, 2008 10:29 pm) changer I would say there is a possibility that youe evaporater drain hose is blocked/pinched. The hose drains out just below the gas pedal and there have been several posts about it but usually you also can detect dampness at floor level under the carpet. |

Replying to: caliberchic (Sep 03, 2008 8:50 am) if it was indeed the reason for the original post"humidity/cd changer" there would droves of posts regarding it. The crux of the matter is the fact that that under certain locality conditions the evaporeter does not dry sufficiently when you turn the car off with AC/Defrost cycle running or just terminated.This usually results in a musty smell upon start up again and you solution to "run the fan" will help eleviate this complaint. The amount of humidity needed to effect the changer which is designed/built with average humidity parameters would in my opinion require that the evap collection/drainage system is not working and Chrysler needs to get it's act together and solve this owners problem

Replying to: bigtsr (Sep 03, 2008 3:39 pm) Odd thing is that my husbands CD player didn't work from start up, it had been sitting over night with no AC/Defrost running. I wonder where the condensation came from in that case? I would imagine we'd see more posts about this issue but it's hard to say how many owners use their CD players vs the radio or satellite, and how many use them in the perfect conditions to duplicate the issue. I know if it were happening to my vehicle I would never know because I use XM in my Dodge.

Replying to: caliberchic (Sep 08, 2008 4:08 am) by an assembly line worker could be the cause or again poor sealing of the cowl/dash area on the assembly line which has been the subject of a few posts on the net,irregardless it's not right and should be addressed to each owners satisfaction. |
