DT*: THE CONTACT STATED IN JANUARY 1999, A RECALL LETTER WAS RECEIVED FOR THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, NHTSA #98V184000. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED. IN FEBRUARY 2004, FUEL BEGAN TO LEAK FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE O-RINGS WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED FOR REIMBURSEMENT, BUT BECAUSE THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE ONE YEAR WARRANTY, THE CLAIM WAS DENIED.
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM FRACTURED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH CAUSING THE HALF AXLE TO PULL OUT OF THE TRANSAXLE. THERE IS AN NHTSA RECALL, # 99V215000, REGARDING THE SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, A SNAPPING SOUND WAS HEARD FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF STEERING. THE CONTACT STOPPED AND EXITED THE VEHICLE TO CALL A FRIEND. THE FRIEND NOTICED TWO BOLTS LYING ON THE GROUND THAT APPEARED TO BE PART OF THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE STEERING RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE STEERING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO ALERTED OF THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 7/3/2006 - *NM
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY, AT THREE TO FIVE MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CONTACT WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT, BUT IT DID NOT LOCK UPON IMPACT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THE SEAT BELT FAILURE. THE FRONTAL AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE POLICE AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT ALERTED.
I WAS HAVING SOME UNEVEN AND PREMATURE FRONT TIRE WEAR PROBLEMS. I THOUGHT THAT THE INNER TIE ROD BUSHINGS WERE SIMPLY WORN OUT. I FOUND OUT INSTEAD THAT ONE OF THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE INNER TIE ROD ENDS TO THE STEERING RACK HAD ACTUALLY SHEARED/ BROKEN, AND THIS WAS ALLOWING THE EXCESSIVE SLOP IN THE STEERING. OBVIOUSLY, IF THE BOLT WOULD HAVE SHEARED ALL THE WAY OFF, SUDDEN AND CATASTROPHIC (POSSIBLY DEADLY) LOSS OF STEERING WOULD HAVE OCCURRED, WITHOUT WARNING. IN ORDER TO REMOVE/EXTRACT THE BROKEN BOLT, THE STEERING RACK HAD TO BE REMOVED FROM THE CAR TO FACILITATE ACCESS TO THE BROKEN BOLT WITH AN EXTRACTOR. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE 6 HOURS OF LABOR JOB, TO REPAIR A SIMPLE BROKEN BOLT. NOT ONLY IS IT RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR, THIS IS AN ITEM (THE TIE ROD TO STEERING RACK BOLT) THAT SHOULD NEVER BREAK FROM NORMAL USAGE OF THE AUTOMOBILE. I SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND FROM ON-LINE RESEARCH THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM IN THE CHRYSLER LH PLATFORM CARS. ALSO, THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CONSUMER COMPLAINTS, AND SEVERAL LAWSUITS DUE TO ALLEGED DEFECTIVE DESIGN, INSUFFICIENT SERVICE/INSPECTION PROCEDURES, OR MATERIALS, RELATING DIRECTLY TO THE LH PLATFORM STEERING, INCLUDING SEVERE ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THIS IDENTICAL FAILURE. ALSO COMPLAINTS OF CHRYSLER OFFERING NO ASSISTANCE TO THE CONSUMER (INCLUDING ME) IN REGARDS TO THIS VERY DANGEROUS (AND EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR) DEFECT. *JB
DT: CONSUMER'S FRIEND WRECKED INTO A TELEPHONE POLE WITH FRONT IMPACT, AND BOTH AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP. DID NOT CONTACT MANUFACTURER. HAD NOT REPLACED AIR BAGS. *AK
I EXPERIENCED A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. ALSO WHEN I DROVE OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR AN UNEVEN ENTRY TO A DRIVEWAY I COULD HEAR THE SAME SOUND AND COULD FEEL IT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD A DEALERSHIP CHECK IT OUT AND THEY FOUND THAT THERE WAS A BOLT THAT HAD WORKED ITSELF LOOSE ON THE LOWER CONTROL ARM. I HAVE FOUND INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET RELATED TO STEERING FAILURES LEADING TO DEATH ON SEVERAL VEHICLES WITH THE SAME STEERING COMPONENTS THAT MY CAR HAS. FORTUNATELY I CAUGHT THIS EARLY ENOUGH TO PREVENT A DISASTEROUS EVEN LIKE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED. THEY TIGHTENED THE BOLT. I UNDERSTANT THAT CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS CHANGED THE TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS AND THE BUSHING USED ON THE TIE-ROD ENDS IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE TYPE OF FAILURES THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED.

DT: 3 MONTHS AGO THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING TOWARD THE CITY AND THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD NOISE, AND THEN CAR STARTED SMOKING. CONSUMER PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, THERE WAS SMOKE EVERYWHERE. CONSUMER HAD CAR TOWED. IT WAS RUNNING FINE BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. MECHANIC SAID THAT THE CAR THREW A ROD, AND NEEDED A NEW MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION. CONSUMER WAS NOT DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE THE SHE COULD NOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED.*AK
'RECALL CAMPAIGN' FOR CHRYSLER LHS 1995, TRANSAXLE FLOOR SHIFTER IGNITION/PARK INTERLOCK. *BF RECALL#04V021000. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE CRASH HE WAS INVOLVED IN WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL. *JB
WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS STANDING BY THE VEHICLE IT SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD. CONSUMER RAN BEHIND THE VEHICLE, GRABBED THE DOOR AND WAS DRAGGED A FEW FEET, INJURING HIS KNEES, BEFORE HE WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND SLAM THE GEAR INTO PARK. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHERE HE WAS TOLD HE HAD STRIPPED A GEAR. HOWEVER, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SHIFT INTERLOCK. CONSUMER FELT THAT SINCE THE RECALL CAUSED HIM TO STRIP THE GEAR WHEN THE VEHICLE ROLLED, SHOULD BE PART OF THE REPAIR MADE TO THE VEHICLE, ALONG WITH THE SHIFT INTERLOCK NHTSA RECALL 04V021000.*AK
A YELLOW SUBSTANCE ACCUMULATED INSIDE THE HEADLIGHTS LENS. THIS WOULD DISTRACT THE DRIVER'S VIEW WHEN DRIVING DURING NIGHT HOURS. *JB MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. *TT
CONSUMER HAD TO PUT 2 TRANSMISSIONS INTO VEHICLE. THIS ONE THAT IS IN THE VEHICLE NOW IS DEFECTIVE. CONSUMER PUT KEY INTO THE IGNITION, AND SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL JERK.ALSO, WHILE DRIVING SOME TIMES VEHICLE WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS. CONSUMER FELT THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. *AK
POWER SUN ROOF FLEW OUT OF THE TOP OF THE CAR. THE FRAM AND BASIC CAB;E STRUCTURE REMAINED BUT THE GLASS BLEW OUT. REPLACEMENT COST IS ESTIMATED AT $800 PLUS LABOR. THIS SEEMS VERY HIGH TO ME. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN TRAVELING BEHIND US.*AK
THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED. 2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE THE REAR BRAKE BADS FAILED CAUSING THEM TO GRIND ON THE ROTORS. BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. DRIVERS SIDE SEAT SUPPORT IS BROKEN. POWER STEERING PUMP HAS A LEAK. TRANSMISSION CLUTCHES BURNED OUT REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. WATER PUMP FAILED ALONG WITH FAILING TIMING BELT & TIMING BELT TENSIONER CAUSING NEEDED REPLACEMENT. ENGINE HAS SEVERAL OIL LEAKS. RACK & PINION SYSTEM IS SHIFTING, CAUSING A THUMPING SOUND AND VEHICLE SHIFTING WHILE CORNERING AT TIMES. SELT BELT ON DRIVERS SIDE DOESN'T RETRACT PROPERLY. BRAKES PERFORM POORLY, REQUIRING EXCESSIVE PEDAL TO STOP VEHICLE. FUEL RAIL IS LEAKING FUEL, AWAITING MECHANIC DETERMINATION IF IT'S COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. *AK
