ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
WHILE APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHILE PARKING ON A SLIGHT DECLINE. THE NEXT MORNING, WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED, SMOKE FILLED THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. UPON INVESTIGATION, I DISCOVERED THAT THE WIRE FROM THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SWITCH SHORTED AND MELTED OFF THE INSULATION, CAUSING ADDITIONAL WIRING PROBLEMS. THE HEADLIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE HIGH-BEAM SWITCH AND THE ON/OFF SWITCH BOTH CAUSE THE LIGHTS TO GO TO HIGH-BEAMS. SO FAR, I HAVE DISCOVERED THE DAMAGED WIRES, UP TO THE FIREWALL, IN THE PROCESS OF SEPARATING AND REPLACING THE DAMAGED WIRE(S).*AK

#761204April 25, 2002
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION WENT INTO "LIMP-HOME" MODE (LOCKED IN 2ND GEAR. ALSO SHOWED SLIPPAGE IN R-D SHIFT. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS FAILURE IN INTERNAL VALVING. HE ALSO FOUND A DSCARDED CIGARETTE BET IN THE VALVE BODY. TRANSMISSION NOT REPAIRABLE. REPLACED TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION SENSORS, TO THE TUNE OF $2,800. SPOKE TO CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT BEFORE AUTHORIZING REPAIR. THEY FLATLY REFUSED TO OFFER ANY GOODWILL ADJUSTMENT, BECAUSE I WAS SECOND OWNER. HOWOVER, I HAVE ORIGINAL OWNER'S STATEMENT THAT CAR WAS SERVICED ACCORDING TO MANUAL, AND TRANSMISSION WAS NEVER OPENED WHILE SHE OWNED IT. THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSIONS USED IN THE EARLY 1990S. A TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT FAIL THIS SOON, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FORCED TO PAY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF ITS POOR DESIGN PRACTICES.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:TORSION BAR
DEALER WELDED ENDS OF BROKEN TORSION BARS TO TRAILING ARMS 9/8/99 THE WELD BROKE 8/30/00 CHRYSLER SAYS IT IS NOT A MANF. DEFECT. THE CAR WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT SO WHAT CAUSED IT TO BREAK 2 TIMES? IT SURE SEEM TO ME LIKE A MANAF. DEFECT. ONE OF THE REPAIR PLACES I HAD LOOK AT IT THOUGHT THE ENTIRE REAR END NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WAS TOLD THAT IN PRESENT CONDITION WHEN GOING AT 60-70 MPH & TURN ONE MAY LOSE CONTROL. ALSO, THE REAR END IS WOBELLY.
