This is my message to the CPSC
(':twisted:')
I understand that Automobiles are not protected under the CPS rules, but this nonconformity is not about the automobile but the stereo within. Radios are specifically omitted of protection by the NHTSA rules.

The problem: I recently purchased a 2004 Chrysler Crossfire. On the first day of ownership I discovered there is a very serious problem with the radio display. It is very difficult to impossible to view the LED during daylight hours. I and many other owners of the new vehicle have written to Chrysler, with out any sign of admission that this is a serious safety issue.

The machined response from DaimlerChrysler has been, �g I was sorry to learn of your dissatisfaction with your Chrysler Crossfire and understand how this might cause you inconvenience or concern. The situation written about is a function of your vehicle's design and is not a defect in materials, workmanship, manufacturing or factory preparation. These are the only types of defects covered under the new vehicle limited warranties.�h

The absence of a viewable display in daylight hours can not be a design feature, it is a serious design flaw. The difficulty in reading the display is a serious distraction to the operation of the motor vehicle and is a dangerous nonconformity that will most certainly result in accidents. The seriousness of the problem is expressed many times on the CrossfireForum.org website https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...r=asc&start=90. Please help before a fatality is reported
