New Car Assessment Program
The 2003CHRYSLERLHS carries 2 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2003 LHS is unknown or other with 1 filings, followed by equipment (1). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability.
NHTSA currently has 88 investigation files overlapping the 2003 LHS, and 7 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

20030501UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A SUGGESTION, I HOPE THIS IS THE PROPER DEPARTMENT TO PRESENT IT. STOP LIGHTS SHOULD BE MANDATORY ON THE FRONT OF CARS AND TRUCKS AS WELL AS THE PRESENT LOCATIONS IN THE REAR. THE BENEFIT IS A DRIVER CAN TELL IF THE CAR APPROACHING A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT IS REALLY INTENDING TO STOP. THE SAME IS TRUE OF A DRIVER WITH TURN SIGNALS ON BUT HAS NO INTENTION TO SLOW AND TURN. THAT WOULD BE APPARENT IF THERE WAS A STOP LIGHT IN THE FRONT AND MAY SAVE A PERSON FROM PULLING IN FRONT OF THE CAR THEY BELIEVED WAS GOING TO TURN. ON THE REAR OF A CAR THERE SHOULD BE IN ADDITION TO THE CURRENT LIGHTS, A YELLOW CAUTION LIGHT THAT COMES ON WHEN THE CAR IS COASTING (NEITHER GAS NOR BRAKES APPLIED). THIS WOULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL WARNING TO THE FOLLOWING DRIVER THAT CHANGES ARE TAKING PLACE UP AHEAD.
