1993 Chrysler New Yorker Engine Problems

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

Data refreshed

Engine 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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS RANDOMLY FLASHED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED FOR YEARS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS AND HE HAD TO APPLY FORCE EACH TIME THE FAILURE HAPPENED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 96V099000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO PROVIDED VARIOUS DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS, WHICH DID NOT PREVENT THE FAILURE. THE CHECK ENGINE AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STILL HARD TO DEPRESS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THE CONDITION. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.
