#701877January 4, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE OF THE FUEL RAIL IN OUR 1994 CHRYSLER LHS. THE DEALER HAS INFORMED US THAT 1994 CHRYSLER LHS VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 98V184000). HOWEVER, THEY HAVE TOLD US THAT OUR CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT OUR CAR SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE RECALL. PLEASE NOTIFY ME ASAP WITH REGARD TO THIS MATTER. THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, BUT THAT THEY HAVE A BACK ORDER OF OVER 1000 UNITS FOR THE NECESSARY PARTS. WE HAVE CONTACTED OTHER SUPPLY STORES, BUT THEY TELL US THAT THIS IS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ONLY. SO WE HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS BUT TO DRIVE THE CAR IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION. I APPRECATE YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION TO THIS INQUIRY.*AK

THE PROBLEM IS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN IN OPERATION. SO STRONG THAT IT COMES THROUGH THE HEAT VENTS TO THE POINT THAT YOU GET A HEADACHE WHEN DRIVING WITH THE HEAT ON. A STRONG ODOR OF GAS CAN ALSO BE DETECTED OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED A STRONG ODOR OF GAS COMING THROUGH THE VENTS AS THE HEATER WAS ON. I STOPPED THE VECHILE AND NOTICED GAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL RAILS. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME GAS WAS SQUIRTING OUT OF THE FUEL RAILS AND LEAKING ON THE FLOOR. THE DEALER LOOKED AT THE CAR AND VERIFIED THAT THE FUEL RAIL FITTING WAS BROKEN.

#700400November 7, 1998
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
THIS IS THE 3RD SET OF DISC BRAKE ROTORS. THE ROTORS CAN ONLY BE REFACED ONE TIME. THEY WARP, DUE TO HEAT. THE HEAT GENERATED IS UNEVEN, CAUSING THE WARPING, BECAUSE THE BRAKE DISC PADS ARE UNEQUAL IN SIZE, BY DESIGN. CHRYSLER IS PURPOSELY DESIGNING FAILURE INTO ITS COMPONENTS. THE UNEQUAL SIZED BRAKE PADS ARE NOT NECESSARY AS THERE IS ADEQUATE ROOM FOR EQUAL SIZED PADS. ALL LHS CHRYSLERS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED AT MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE, REQUIRING THEM TO REDESIGN THE BRAKE PADS TO PREVENT UNEQUAL HEATING OF THE ROTORS. IT IS HIGH TIME THAT CHRYSLER BE MADE TO ANSWER FOR THEIR ENGINEERED FAILURE OF SAFETY COMPONENTS.
