There was a recall many years ago in germany on the starter, also have a letter from the Chrysler shop the part get replaced on warranty that was many years ago, there never had the part to replace it. Now I am in the states, in Washington, and the recall part failed me. Second: My headlight have a film haze, there is no way to clean it take it apart or anything. We went to used auto part stores every last one has the same problem. I cant see at night, and can cost me an extent. That should be a recall. A new light would cost $ $270 plus tax per light. It is on both lights. I am disappointed with the Chrysler. I also just read on your web there many other recalls I never knew about it. What can you do for me.

98 Plymouth Voyager VIN #[xxx] please be advised that my acrylic head lamps have become pitted via normal driving. I believe this causes loss of visibility during nighttime operation. Visibility may be lowered by more than 50%. I think this may be a common situation in vehicles nationally. Please advise me on the proper steps to rectify.
