LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
WHILE INSTALLING A CSS IN THE REAR SEAT, THE LOCKING LATCH PLATE (MADE OF PLASTIC) POPPED APART AND FELL OFF. SINCE IT NO LONGER WAS LOCKING, IT BECOMES A SLIDING LATCH PLATE AND WOULD REQUIRE A LOCKING CLIP TO ENSURE THE CSS WOULD STAY IN PLACE. THE SERVICE DEPT. POPPED THE PIECE BACK ON. THE LOCKING LATCH PLATE IS EASY TO PULL APART....WILL THIS HOLD IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT?

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE LOWER OUTSIDE DOOR (GARNISH)PANELS HAVE PARTED FROM THE CAR. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO ADVANCE WHEN THE OUTSIDE AIR TEMP IS HIGH, CAUSING PANELS TO WARP. AT THAT POINT THE PLASTIC CLIPS FAIL AND PANEL PARTS FROM CAR. DEALER HAS MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR BUT PROBLEMS ARE NOT REMEDIATED. DESIGN OF MOLDING CLIPS MAY BE DEFECTIVE.

#712807October 4, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
BLOWN HEAD GASKET AFTER ONLY AROUND 54,000 MILES - MECHANIC SAID THAT THE CAR SHOULDN'T SUFFER FROM SUCH PROBLEMS AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE. CHRYSLER CORPORATION NOTIFIED BUT REFUSED TO HELP SAYING THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. IN ADDITION, THE CAR SUFFERS FROM SIGNIFICANT ENGINE NOISE WHEN IDLING AND THE AIR CONDITIONER JUST WENT OUT. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I AM VERY DISAPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF CHRYSLER'S PRODUCT AND THE COMPANY'S UNWILLINGNESS TO STAND BY THEIR AUTOMOBILES.

WE HAVE HAD MANY OTHER SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE OWNERSHIP. WE MISSED THE TIME LIMIT ON LEMON LAW BY 2,000 MI. AND ARBITRATION SAIS THAT THIS DOES NOT IMPARE OUR DRIVING THE CAR AND THE DEALER SAIS THAT WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL THAT IT IS NOT ENGINE TROUBLE, ALSO YOU HAVE TO EXPECT PROBLEMS WITH A NEW CAR. CHRYSLER HAS NEVER AKNOWLEDGED MY LETTERS.

#712328September 28, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS, POWER TRAIN
ON THE DATE MENTIONED, I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 45MPH WHEN THE ACCELERATOR CABLE FAILED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL. THE VEHICLE RACED TO ABOUT 60 MPH EVEN WHILE I USED THE BRAKES TO ATTEMPT TO SLOW DOWN. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I KNEW I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT IT OFF TO STOP THE CAR.IN THE MEANTIME I HAD TO AVOID OTHER CARS AND STOPLIGHTS AS I COULDN'T STOP. THE SHORT USE OF MY BRAKES CAUSED A FIRE AND I PUT OUT WITH AN EXTINGUISHER. FIRE DEPT. WAS CALLED. NO WARRANTY, MY BIG BILL. I FEEL IT WAS A PART DEFECT AS THE MECHANIC SAID HE HAD NEVER REPLACE ON IN ALL HIS YEARS. PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS QUESTIONNAIRE. THANK YOU.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
SIDE DOOR PANELS KEEP FALLING OFF. ADVISED BY DEALER DUE TO DESIGN FLAW AIR GETS UNDER PANELS DURING DRIVING AND CAUSES THE PANEL TO COME OFF. ADVISED BY DEALER THAT THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX...THAT THEY HAVE SEVERAL CUSTOMERS WITH SAME PROBLEM...ONE MAN HAS HAD HIS DOOR PANELS REPLACED AT LEAST SIX OR SEVEN TIMES. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE IN THAT PANEL HAS NOT COME OFF DURING DRIVING. HOWEVER, IF IT DOES, IT COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE ANOTHER UNSUSPECTING MOTORIST TO HAVE A FATAL ACCIDENT SINCE PANEL IS VERY LARGE. I HAVE MY THIRD APPOINTMENT TO GET THIS FIXED AGAIN ON SEPT 29, 1999. PLEASE NOTE MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS [email protected] (I WAS UNABLE TO GO BACK AND CORRECT THIS ERROR).
