FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
AROUND 9/15/03 - MY 1994 LHS STARTED TO VIBRATE WHILE IDLING. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND ONE DAY I NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS. I TOOK IT TO MY REPAIR SHOP FOR REPAIR. HE HAD THE CAR FROM 10/7 TO 10/11 TRYING TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AND FINALLY REPAIRED IT. AFTER PAYING $433.89 FOR THE REPAIR, I LOOKED AT THE REPAIR HISTORY (THE CAR BELONGED TO MY HUSBAND) AND FOUND OUT THAT THE CAR HAD A O-RING RECALL IN 1999. THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED RUSS DARROW, AUTHORIZED CHRYSLER DEALER, ABOUT THE RECALL WORK AND THEY SAID THE REPAIR SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER THAN 4 YEARS. THEY WEREN'T WILLING TO DO ANYTHING SINCE I HAD WORK DONE BY ARCHER AUTO. I HAVE THE RECEIPTS FOR ALL REPAIR WORK. I WOULD LIKE TO GET A REFUND OF THE MONEY I PAID BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO VERIFY THAT THE WORK DONE WAS CORRECT AND THAT I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A FIRE FROM GAS LEAKING FROM THE O-RING. *LA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
BAD IGNITION SWITCH... I HAVE HAD 2 OF THESE CARS AND SAME THING ON BOTH. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT, LIGHTS ON DASH AND SPEEDOMETER WOULDN'T WORK... PUT IN NEW TRANSMISSION... STILL WOULD NOT SHIFT... HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH CHANGED... NOW IT WORKS. HOW MANY PEOPLE PUT IN NEW TRANSMISSIONS? WHEN IT IS THE IGNITION SWITCH? SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH OF MY CARS I BELIEVE IT IS A DEFAULT. *LA

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
FIRE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT TOTALLY DESTROYED CAR. THERE WAS A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS IN DRIVEWAY UNDER CAR PRIOR TO FIRE. CAR HAD BEEN IDLING IN DRIVEWAY FOR ABOUT 10 TO 15 MIN. BEFORE DRIVING THE KIDS TO THE BUS STOP. WIFE AND KIDS WERE IN CAR WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND HAD SMELLED SOMETHING LIKE FUEL. FIRST BUS HAD PICKED UP 2 KIDS LEFT THEN WIFE SAW SMOKE HEARD NOISE SAW FLAMES FROM UNDER HOOD AND GOT OTHER CHILDREN OUT OF CAR JUST BEFORE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WAS STARTING TO BURN. CAR WAS TOTALLY BURNED THROUGH OUT. REPORTED INCIDENT TO CHRYSLER DUE TO A PREVIOUS RECALL THAT HAD BEEN PERFORMED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM ABOUT 3 TO 4 YEAR BEFORE INCIDENT. WAS TOLD DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO CAR (AFTER INSPECTION BY CHRYSLER'S INSPECTOR) THAT FIRE WAS OF UNDETERMINED CAUSE AND WAS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE RECALL HAD BEEN PERFORMED. EVEN THOUGH PRIOR TO THEIR INSPECTION I (A MECHANIC OF 20+YEARS ) COULD NOT SEE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SUPPLY LINES TO ENGINES FUEL RAIL. WOULD LIKE A FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THIS INCIDENT TO PREVENT POSSIBLE FUTURE INJURIES TO PEOPLE OR POSSIBLE LOOSE OF LIFE. *JB

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
WHILE MY 1994 CHRYSLER LHS WAS IN FOR SAFETY RECALL, THE TECHNICIAN FOUND SUBFRAME DAMAGE ON THE LEFT FRONT OF CAR. HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN LIKE THAT FOR SOME TIME. THE SAFETY RECALL CANNOT BE PERFORMED, UNTIL THE DAMAGE IS REPAIRED. THE ONLY ACCIDENT I HAD WITH THE CAR WAS IN 1996, WHILE I WAS INSURED BY CITIZENS. CITIZENS LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE, BUT CLAIMED THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN ANOTHER ACCIDENT, AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT MY CURRENT INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANOTHER ACCIDENT (ISN'T WHAT THEY ARE SUGGESTING -- FRAUD?). MY CURRENT INSURANCE COMPANY HAS ALSO WRITTEN TO CITIZENS, EXPLAINING THAT THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANOTHER ACCIDENT.*AK
