FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
THE CAR WAS HARD TO START AND SOMETIMES SLUGGISH AND OCCASIONALLY SURGED SUDDENLY ON ACCELARATION. THE CAR WAS KEPT FIVE DAYS , A NEW FUEL PUMP INSTALLED THAT FAILED COMPLETELY ON INSTALLATION.WITH THE NUMBER OF TBS RELATED TO ENGINE PERFORMANCE , STARTING ETC. I WOULD NOT THINK IT TOTALLY UNLIKELY THE INTEGRITY OF THE FUEL PUMP MIGHT BE RELATED TO SOME OF THOSE. THE ENGINE ACCELRATIONS WERE EXTREME AND DANGEROUS

#709804August 10, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
CORROSION OF FRONT ROTORS HAS CAUSED DEEP PITS. THESE PITS HAVE CAUSED INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. THERE IS A CURRENT CHRYSLER RECALL #747 THAT DEALS WITH THE PITTING, BUT OUR VEHICLE DOES NOT MEET THE EXACT GUIDELINES. THE GUIDELINES ARE FOR A RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES SOLD OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN CERTAIN STATES THAT APPLY HEAVY ROAD SALT. OUR VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT IN IA AND IS NOW REGISTERED IN MN. THESE STATES ARE NOT ON THE HEAVY ROAD SALT USE LIST. HOWEVER, WE CONTEND THAT THE RECALL APPLIES TO US BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE WAS REGISTERED FOR OVER 3 YEARS IN IL AND OH, WHERE THE RECALL DOES APPLY. CHRYSLER IS DECLINING ASSISTANCE. WE WILL PURSUE THIS ISSUE UNTIL CHRYSLER CORRECTS THE PROBLEM.

AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT COOL. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE WERE TOLD THERE IS A VACUUM LEAK SOMEWHERE. THE DEALER HAS ADDED DIFFERENT PARTS TO AID IN THE VACUUM, BUT NOTHING IS WORKING. THIS PROBLEM HAS AFFECTED THE USE, VALUE, AND POSSIBLY THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS
ON THIS OCCASION AND A PREVIOUS ONE APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO ACCIDENTS OCCURING ON THE FRONTAL PORTION OF THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACTIVATE THE AIR BAG. THE DRIVER STUCK THE WINDSHIELD WITH HIS HEAD AND CRACKED SAME AND BENT THE STEERING WHELL AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT BUT THE AIR BAG DID NOT ACTIVATE AND INFLATE. |DAIMLER-CHRYSLER WAS NOTIFIED IN BOTH INSTANCES AND THEY SENT AN INVESTIGATOR . ON BOTH OCCASIONS THEY HAD AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY IT DID NOT WORK NEITHER OF WHICH EXPLAINS WHY IN A ACCIDENT AS SERIOUS AS THIS IN WHICH THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE (HEAD LIGHT AREA) CAME IN CONTACT WITH A UTILITY POLE THAT RESULTED IN ENOUGH DAMAGE TO TOTAL THE VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. MY SON DRIVER COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED MUCH MORE SERIOUSLY THAT THE BUMPS AND BRUISES FROM EMCOUNTERING THE WINDSHIELD AND STEERING WHEEL. I CONTEND THAT THE SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE IS NOT A SAFE DETERENT IN AN ACCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
COIL OF ELECTRICAL IGNITION SYSTEM FAILED SUDDENLY WHILE VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL AND LOSS OF POWER TO STERRING AND BRAKES THIS INTERESTINGLY HAPPENED JUST AFTER THE 75,000 WARRANTY EXPIRATION. NO ONE WAS HURT OR DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. OVERDRIVE TO VEHICLE DRIVE SECTION WAS OPERATING FINE UNTIL 75,450 JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED AND DURING TRIP FRO MAINE TO CONNECTICUT IT UNEXPECTEDLY BEGAN TO PUT ITSELF INTO OVERDRIVE ON AND OFF WHILE VEHICLE WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL SET FOR 65 MILES AN HOUR. IT BECAME NECESSARY TO TAKE VEHICLE OFF CRUISE CONTROL AND OPERATE VEHICLE WITH OVERDRIVE ON TO AVOID SUDDEN ACCELERATION AT MOMENTS WHEN CRUISING IN TRAFFIC GOING SAME SPEED, HAZARDOUS POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENT IF CLOSER TO VEHICLES OR PASSING VEHICLES.
