POWER TRAIN
THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION ARE POOR SHIFTING QUALITIES AND SUDDEN LOCKS INTO SECOND GEAR.ALSO THE TRANSMISSION NEVER SHIFTS INTO THIRD GEAR. THIS ADDS MORE STRESS TO THE ENGINE.I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAD EXCEEDED THE ALLOWED MILEAGE AND OR WARRANTY, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO.I HAVE SINCE WRITTEN TO THE PRESIDENT OF CHRYSLER, AND HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE FROM HIM YET. I DON'T WANT TO LET CHRYSLER GET AWAY WITH POOR ENGINEERING DECISIONS.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
DEFECTIVE A604 ULTRADRIVE TRANSMISSION, IN 1991 CHRYSLER LEBARON CONVERTIBLE. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO REPAIR OR HONOR REPAIRS. THEY NEVER MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT A RE CALL. THEY CLAIMED THE VEHICLE HAD EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE ALLOWED AND WARRANTY. THIS WAS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT ON CHRYSLER'S BEHALF. NEARLY ALL TRANSMISSION FAIL AFTER 20,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE BECOMES STUCK INTO SECOND GEAR..AND SHIFTS VIOLENTLY. THE CAUSES MORE STRESS ON THE ENGINE. THE REPAIRS WOULD BE QUITE EXPENSIVE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT CHRYSLER LATER RE NAMED THIS TRANSMISSION TO THE 41TE.THIS MUST HAVE BEEN DONE TO DRAW ATTENTION AWAY FROM THIS ILL FATED TRANSMISSION. VERY SNEAKY. *PH
