1991 Chrysler Lebaron Visibility Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the visibility system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Visibility reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

2 MONTHS FROM THE DATE THAT I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SIDELIGHT WINDOW MTR. MALFUNCTIONED AND THEN BROKE. I ATTEMPTED TO RIG IT FOR THE TIME BEING AS THE PARTS ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. THEN ABOUT 5 MONTHS LATER, THE MOTOR DIED ALTOGETHER. NOW I CANNOT PUT THE WINDOW DOWN AND THE VEHICLE IS A CONV., WHICH MEANS THAT I RISK BREAKING THE WINDOW EVERYTIME I PUT THE TOP DOWN. THE VEH. CHUGS SEVERLY BET. 55 & 75 MPH. ACCELERATING PAST 75 OR DROPPING TO BELOW 55 IS THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE HEADLIGHT COVER MTR. BROKE APPROX. 8 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEH., I REPLACED THE MTR. & 4 MONTHS LATER IT SEEMS TO BE BURNING OUT AGAIN. I CONNOT GO W/O THE USE OF MY HDLIGHTS, THE TRUCK RELEASE HAS NOT OPERATED PROPERLY SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEH., THE HYDRAULIC RODS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN BAD.
