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

STRUCTURE
DASH IS SPLITTING WHERE AIR BAG GOES I BOUGHT CAR OCT. 1999 I ONLY HAD 10,200 MILES ON IT, SITS IN GARAGE WHEN NOT DRIVEN. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WILL IT DEPLOY ACCIDENTALLY ON MY PASSENGER FOR NO REASON OR NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. I FELT IT'S A MFG. ERROR AND IT SHOULD BE REPLACED. THEY WILL FOR A 250.00 FEE WHICH I DON'T THINK IS RIGHT. THEY NEVER RETURN YOUR CALLS . ( AUTO WEST CHRYSLER IN ROSEVILLE, CA. ) I'VE ALSO TALK TO THERE CS IN MICH. FILE#11761879. ONE SERVICE MANGERROSEVILLE SAID THE 1999 CHRYSLER LSH DASH HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS ISSUE -- IT'S A $35,000 CAR. I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD HAPPEN. I HAD TAKEN A EXTENDED WARRANTY OUT BUT I GUESS IT DOESN'T COVER THIS PROBLEM . *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
