#718211February 2, 2000
SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
THE LOCKING MECHANISM HAS FAILED ON BOTH FRONT SEATS. SEAT FLINGS FORWARD WHEN AUTO SLOWS THROWING THE PASSENGERS INTO THE WINDSHIELD. WARRANTY REPAIR WAS A JOKE AND WAS NOT COVERED ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP. CHECKED CHRYSLER HOMEPAGE, BUT CANNOT NOT FIND OTHER FAILURES OR RECALLS. IF I HAVE A WRECK, I WILL BE A FATALITY. LOOKED FOR DUPLICATE SEATS IN WRECKED CAR, BUT CANNOT FIND. SEEMS STRANGE THAT BOTH SEATS WOULD FAIL AND NO ONE ELSE HAS REPORTED TROUBLE OR THERE WAS NO RECALL. *AK

2 MONTHS FROM THE DATE THAT I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SIDELIGHT WINDOW MTR. MALFUNCTIONED AND THEN BROKE. I ATTEMPTED TO RIG IT FOR THE TIME BEING AS THE PARTS ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. THEN ABOUT 5 MONTHS LATER, THE MOTOR DIED ALTOGETHER. NOW I CANNOT PUT THE WINDOW DOWN AND THE VEHICLE IS A CONV., WHICH MEANS THAT I RISK BREAKING THE WINDOW EVERYTIME I PUT THE TOP DOWN. THE VEH. CHUGS SEVERLY BET. 55 & 75 MPH. ACCELERATING PAST 75 OR DROPPING TO BELOW 55 IS THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE HEADLIGHT COVER MTR. BROKE APPROX. 8 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEH., I REPLACED THE MTR. & 4 MONTHS LATER IT SEEMS TO BE BURNING OUT AGAIN. I CONNOT GO W/O THE USE OF MY HDLIGHTS, THE TRUCK RELEASE HAS NOT OPERATED PROPERLY SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEH., THE HYDRAULIC RODS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN BAD.

#713782October 24, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER MY WARRANTY OF 70,000/7YEAR. I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION. BOTH POWER WINDOW MOTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE EXTERIOR PAINT IS ERODING AT AN ALARMING RATE. IS THE CHRYSLER MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THESE DAMAGES TO MY VEHICLE? AM I ENTITLED TO ANY COMPENSATION FOR THESE FAULTY MECHANISMS THAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR? I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN, BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT THESE MISFORTURNES HAPPENED AFTER THE WARRANTY OF 70,000 MILES. THE CAR IS FALLING APART IN THE INTERIOR AND THE EXTERIOR. THE CAR IS MAINTENANCED EVERY 2500 MILES WITH OIL AND LUBE CHANGES.
