I PURCHASED A 1994 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER IN 1998. EVERY SUMMER THE AIR CONDITIONING HAS FAILED. A CHRYSLER TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPONENT IN THE 1994 NEW YORKER. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP. TO INQUIRE IF THERE IS INDEED A PROBLEM, AND IF OTHER OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THEIR ANSWER WAS NO. AFTER VISITING THE COMPLAINT SECTION OF THIS SITE, I SEE THAT IS NOT THE CASE. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE AVAILABLE TO ME?

WE HAVE HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER NUMEROUS TIMES AND WAS NEVER MADE AWARE THAT THERE WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONERS IN THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE NEVER RECIEVED ANY RECALL LETTERS NOR HAVE I RECIEVED THE ADDENDUM TO THE BASIC WARRANTY FOR THE AIRCONDITIONING. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO OTHER CHYSLER DEALERS SINCE WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE HAS CLOSED. THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE $1,500 TO REPAIR THE AIRCONDITIONING. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE 1995 REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE NEVER OFFERED ANY HELP, OTHER THAN THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. WE HAVE PUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO REPAIRING THE AIRCONDITIONER AND CHRYSLER WAS MADE AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE THE AIR WAS FIXED. I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT CHRYSLER WAS LIABLE FOR THESE REPAIRS. I HAVE JUST SPOKEN WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THE EVAPORATOR IN THE CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWO TIMES AND THE PUMP HAS ALSO. THE VEHICLE ONLY HOLDS AN AIRCONDITIONING CHARGE FOR 3 DAYS. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP I CAN RECIEVE IN HAVING CHRYSLER LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER SINCE 1995 ON A YEARLY BASIS AND THEY HAVE OFFERED NO HELP WHAT SO EVER. AT THIS POINT THEY WILL NOT LOOK AT THE AIR CONDITIONING WITHOUT CHARGING ME. I WAS ALSO NEVER MADE AWARE OF THE THREE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE. *AK
