Interior lights go on and off,instrument panel,blinks,while driving. Alarm goes off for no reason. I've had to replace 3 batteries,as it seems there is a drain in the system somewhere that knowone can find. Its sitting dead once again in front of house. Barely touch cables to battery extended connections and it will start right up. After charging battery it is dead within 24 hrs. Turning key,interior lights do not flicker or dim,but you hear click of like dead battery. Definite problem with wiring in this car,and a safety issue when driving. Just spent 1800.00 in 6 months also replacing 3 injectors,and all o rings.gas line on back firewall was also cracked and putting fumes into interior. Only did this when at idle. This wiring harness problem needs to be addressed before someone gets into an accident. Also switch on headlights cannot be used on auto,drains battery quicker. Now heat/AC/lights goes out on dash. Seem to hear a continue hum even when car is shut off..not radio! Help,spent to much on this car with 126,000 miles on it to feel I can't put my children inside to be safe,or stranded. Recall wiring harness! All above happens either highway,or city streets. Now front interior dome lights have stopped working,but directional indicator still works. Just waiting for this to catch on fire. About time chrysler did something about these issues. I will never buy another chrysler vehicle again.also replaced fuel pump,timing belt,pulleys etc,before injector and fuel line problem,that occurred 3 months later.

1999 chrysler lhs headlight lenses turn yellow decreasing nighttime visibility.
I purchased a chrysler pacifica brand new with in the first 6 months the thing died out while driving down the parking lot everything locked up and I was unable to steer but I stopped by putting on the emergency brake !! Then the next thing is my headlight and brakelights keep going out. I put new bulbs in and in a day or two they are out again, I have put in shop. They said they can't find anything wrong but now it is worse. I can adjust the seats mirrors and the windows work but seems like when radio is off no heating fan blowing r don't at all too !!!! I bought the vehicle back to the dealer and was informed the warranty has expired and to diagnose it will be $550. I said,"no I have extended warranty and it is covered", I have had problems with this car since I bought it at first you were nice now you keep giving me a hard time and say it is all in my head. Power steering works at times but it is too hard to turn when it doesn't work and is unsafe !!! They won't help me out so im complaining now more then ever since I almost wrecked due to the steering and lights not working !!!!!! Faulty electrical system !!!

Headlight lens are deteriorating on the inside & the complete headlight box assembly must be replaced to correct. The lens problem is making night visibility diminish as time goes by possibly causing an accident. *
2001 chrysler lhs headlight lenses have clouded and reduced nighttime visibility. This is something that should not have happened, as it can be dangerous at night.
The headlight housing can not be removed to replace a burned out headlight bulb. There are two bolts that need to be removed for each headlight. One of the two bolts can not be removed as the nut holding the bolt rotates inside the plastic housing and will not let the bolt be removed. This is a common failure and means that to many people have to drive with a burned out bulb much longer than necessary until they can schedule a repair appointment. It shouldn't take that long to replace a burned out headlight.
Headlights are clouding over causing dimness in night and decreased visibility while driving. I have noticed this on other chrysler products but not other manufacturers. Dealer said there was no recall. I also had a front passenger door actuator replaced. The handle does not operate properly now. Auto shop performed repaired at my expense. The passenger airbag storage is cracked.
The headlights were completely fogged on both chrysler vehicle. It appeared to be the outside plastic covering that has discolored. The dealer stated that there was a fix, but it cost $500.00 per light. The consumer concerned that this caused the lights to be less effective, and seemed to deteriorate over time. *ak *sc
