Overall Safety Rating |
Frontal crash ratings: Driver:           Passenger:           Side crash ratings: Driver:       Rear Passenger:       Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags. NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING:           The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating utilizes a "fishhook" maneuver which is a series of abrupt turns at varying speeds to see how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars). |
Sedans get revised front styling for 2004 that mimics the coupes'. Sedans started the year in SE, SXT, ES, and sporty R/T models; at midyear, the SE and ES were dropped. Chrysler-made 2.4-liter 4-cyl and 2.7-liter V6 engines are offered. All sedans have a 4-speed automatic transmission; the R/T includes a manual shift gate. R/T also has 4-wheel disc brakes and traction control. ABS is standard on R/T, optional on other sedans. Head-protecting curtain side airbags are optional; no torso side airbags are offered.
Coupes use powertrains and platforms from Mitsubishi's Eclipse and Galant. They continue in 2.4-liter 4-cyl SXT and 3.0-liter V6 R/T models, both with manual or automatic transmission. The R/T's automatic is available with manual shift gate. R/T comes with 4-wheel disc brakes and offers optional ABS; neither are available on SXT."

Number of Units Affected | 8,108 |
Summary | On certain 2-door coupe passenger vehicles, the fuel return line hose fitting on the electric fuel pump may be improperly molded. Breakage could result in a leakage of fuel, and in the presence of an ignition source, it could result a fire. |
Remedy | Dealers will replace the fuel pump. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403. |
