1994 Chrysler Lebaron Body & structure Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Body & structure 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.

CAR HAD ABOUT 14,000 MILES ON IT WHEN PURCHASED FROM THE DEALER WHO SOLD IT ORIGINALLY. IT HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED! DOOR FAILED, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO EXIT, WITHOUT CRAWLING OVER THE ARMREST TO EXIT FROM PASSENGER SIDE, OR LOWERING THE TOP TO EXIT OUT THE WINDOW. TRAVIS DISAVOWED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL, SO REPAIRS WERE UNDERTAKEN AFTER COMPLETION OF MOVE OUT-OF-STATE, AT MCLAIN'S BODY SHOP WHERE HE POINTED OUT FAILED HINGE AND NOTED THAT THAT DESIGN FLAW IS "COMMON" WITH THIS MODEL. REPAIRS, EVEN WITH USED DOOR WERE $1690.01. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED TWICE, UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE SECOND TIME, AT ABOUT 99,500 MILES. THE WINDOW MOTOR WILL NOT LOWER THE WINDOW.
