We have classified the 3 complaints from 1999 Chrysler Concorde about EXTERIOR LIGHTING into the following categories.
I was parking on a parking lot and lot had a structured small post on the driver side; due to visibility that the vehicle lamp omitted to light properly, i damaged the front right corner bumper. i have noticed that the corner lamp assemblies have a problem with the reflectors. this lamp doesn't have the required amber side reflectors don't work well cause i can barely see (not like my other cars). there is a recall set already for part number cs114-u0bj2 which is a combination corner and lamp assembly for this vehicle. i am asked to contact sabersport who is doing the recall (recall id#09e012000 exterior lighting); however, their number is disconnected and their online contact number is a wrong number. at this point, i don't think its right that i have to pay for these repairs. even upon repairs,i need the vehicle with correct lamp assembly so it doesn't happen again. next time, could be a worse accident.
