POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
OUR AUTO REPAIR MECHANIC REPLACED THE TAG AXEL ON OUR 1994 LEBARON. HE ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS TWO OTHER LEBARONS IN THE SAME AREA WHERE I LIVE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I FIND THIS A LITTLE UNUSAL. THE AUTO REPAIR MECHANIC ALSO PLACED A CALL TO A CHRYSLER PARTS DEALER TO INQUIRE THE PRICE OF A NEW LAG AXEL. BEFORE THE MECHANIC COULD STATE THE MODEL OF CAR THE PARTS DEALER TOLD THE MECHANIC WHAT MODEL AND TYPE OF CAR. THE BACK OF THE CAR WAS MAKING A NOISE,THE LAG AXEL WAS CRACKED. IF LEFT UNDETECTED OR REPAIRED IT COULD OF CAUSED SERIOUS INJURYS.AS I L

#706255May 5, 1999
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDOW WOULD NOT GO DOWN. THERE WAS WATER IN THE FRONT AND REAR FLOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR ON THE WINDOW BECAUSE THE DRAINAGE HOLE WAS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE WATER TO DRAIN OUT AND THERE WERE GALLONS OF WATER BEING RETAINED IN THE REAR PANEL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM IN OTHER YEARS BUT NOT IN MINE AND THAT IT HAD TOO MANY MILES FOR CHRYSLER TO DO ANYTHING. I FEEL IF THE DESIGN WAS NOT POOR THE WATER WOULD HAVE DRAINED OUT AND I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY $314 FOR A NEW MOTOR ON THE WINDOW.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
ALREADY REPORTED 10/98- DRIVER'S DOOR HINGE BROKE OFF DOOR. NOW 1/99 - PASSENGER'S DOOR HINGE BROKE OFF DOOR. CHRYSLER DID NOT SUPPORT THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. STATED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I DO NOT AGREE THAT BOTH DOOR HINGES SHOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED AFTER 60,000 MILES AT THE COST OF THE OWNER. CHRYLSER IS NOT ADMITTING THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION SHAKES VIOLENTLY FOR FIRST SEVERAL BLOCKS IN COLD WEATHER. DEALER INSTALLED REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION ON 11/10/98. PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. BESIDES SEVERE SHAKING DURING THE FIRST SEVERAL BLOCKS IN COLD WEATHER, THE CAR NOW LUNGES FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP AS THOUGH IT IS HIT FROM THE REAR; THESE PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR AS THE DRIVE TRAIN WARMS. DEALER SAID THAT THEY DROVE THE CAR FOR 59 MILES (ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM IS ONLY IN THE FIRST MILE OR SO) AND DID NOT DETECT A PROBLEM. THEY SAID TO WAIT FOR THE PROBLEM TO WORSEN AS THE WEATHER GROWS COLDER.
