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.

I OWN A MINT CONDITION 1993 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER WITH 68,000 MILES ON IT. LAST WEEK THE ENGINE STARTED LEAKING A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE FROM FUEL RAIL ONTO THE TOP OF BLOCK AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I SAW WHERE A RECALL CAMPAIGN WAS ISSUED TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY CONDITION SO I CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. HE ADVISED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WILL NOT BE REPAIRED UNDER SAME. HOW CAN THAT BE?? IT CLEARLY STATES ""1993 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER"". NOW HE ADVISES ME THAT THE COST TO REPAIR A LEAKING FUEL RAIL/O-RING WILL BE $536.00. THIS IS CLEARLY WRONG. I NEED SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THIS DEFECT. *NM

CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL 98V184000 CONCERNING FUEL LEAKAGE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED CONSUMER SMELLED GAS ODOR INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. DEALER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND REPLACED THE FUEL RAIL. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR BUT THE CONSUMER'S VEHILE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *AK *NM

I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CHRYSLER -- PEOPLE STOP ME IN MALLS, SUPERMARKETS AND ASK ME IF I'VE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AS THEY HAVE -- ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1990 EVERYONE I'VE SPOKEN TO THAT HAS HAD A CHRYSLER VAN, NEW YORKER, DYNASTY, ETC. HAS HAD MAJOR TRANSMISSIONS PROBLEMS AND/OR HAS HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. IN SPEAKING WITH MY LOCAL AAMCO TRANSMISSION REPS AND CONTINENTAL TRANSMISSION REP (A BUFFALO STORE) -- CHRYSLER CARS ARE THEIR NUMBER 1 REPAIR. I HAD OCCASION TO SPEAK WITH THE VP OF CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR AAMCO AT THE EXECUTIVE OFFICES IN PA -- HE ALSO REITERATED THAT CHRYSLER IS THEIR NUMBER 1 REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED IN TO. WITH ALL OF THE CHRYSLER REPAIRS I'VE HEARD OF JUST IN THE BUFFALO AREA ALONE, NATIONALLY THEIR HAS TO BE THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS WHO HAVE INCURRED A MAJOR EXPENSE. PLEASE PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM AN ELDERLY MAN IN 7/2000 IT ONLY HAD 19,025 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT WAS IN SHOWROOM CONDITION. AROUND 21,000 MILES THE CAR STARTED TO HAVE HESITATION PROBLEMS AND I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. ONE LOCAL BUFFALO TRANSMISSION SHOP INDICATED THAT THE COMPUTERS OPERATING THE TRANSMISSIONS WERE BAD AND THEY'VE HAD TO SELL MANY OF THEM. THANK YOU AND I REALLY APPRECIATE AN INVESTIGATION.*AK
