SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN
I WENT TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT AS IT'S UNDER WARRANTY. I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH 75,000 MILES ON IT 3 YEARS AGO. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. WHEN THE MECHANIC PUT ONE IN HE FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS ALREADY A USED ONE IN THERE. TWO MONTHS LATER THAT TRANMISSION WENT OUT AND IT GOT REPLACED. WELL THIS BRINGS US TO PRESENT DAY WHERE I'M GETTING IT CHECKED OUT AND HAVE THEM CHECK EVERYTHING OUT. THEY TELL ME THAT THE REAR BALL JOINTS ARE OUT AND IT'LL COST $1200 TO FIX IT. I'M LIKE THAT'S NOT WORTH IT. I THEN FIND OUT THAT THIS IS RECALLED. *JS

I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS MAKE OF CAR THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE TIRE DEALER TOLD ME THE SAME THING. IT IS A CHRYSLER PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL PUMP WENT ON MY CAR AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP THEY STATED THAT THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS ON IT HAD BURNED UP, WHICH CAUSED A HOLE TO BE BURNED IN THE FUEL PUMP LINE. I'VE READ SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF THIS EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING AND IN SOME OF THOSE REPORTS THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS A FIRE HAZARD. I ALSO HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW HARNESS FOR THE FUEL PUMP SINCE THAT WAS ALL SCREWED UP AS WELL. *TR

SEATS, AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
WHEN MY HUSBAND DRIVES MY CAR, HE MOVES THE SEAT BACK. WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR, I MOVE THE SEAT FORWARD. THIS ACTION CAUSES THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH TO COME ON. WHEN I MOVE THE ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED SEAT FORWARD/BACKWARD, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL "SOMETIMES" GO OFF. THE NHTSA REF 07V240000 REFERENCES A RECALL FOR THE FRONT SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF MY CAR IS ONE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. I'M TOLD THAT IT IS NOT. I THINK IT SHOULD BE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER STOPPING AND PARKING CAR, IT WAS A COMPLETELY DEAD SOUND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR IN A MONTH. I JACKED UP THE CAR ON DRIVERS SIDE, JUST LET DOWN THE JACK; AND IT STARTED BOTH TIMES. THE LOCKS DON'T WORK AND THE WINDOWS CAN ONLY BE CONTROLLED BY THE DRIVER. CHECKED ALL FUSES BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS CAR HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK THE LEFT FRONT BALL JOINT SOCKET SEPARATED. I WAS GOING 50 MPH. ON A STRAIGHT ROAD, NO POT HOLES OR BUMPS. THERE WAS A LOUD BANG, FRONT END DROPPED DOWN, LEFT FRONT TIRE FLIPPED SIDEWAYS AND THERE I WAS STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE 35 YEARS IN THE COLLISION INDUSTRY AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HAPPENS, OTHER THAN A POOR PART FROM THE START. THESE PARTS SHOULD NEVER SEPARATE. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE ARE NONE ON MY CAR. BUT I WOULD THINK THERE SHOULD BE. I HAVE INSURANCE THAT WILL PAY FOR REPAIRS OTHER THAN THE BALL JOINT. GOING TO HAVE THE OTHER SIDE REPLACED ALSO. THIS HAPPENED AT 5PM ON A BUSY ROAD, THERE WAS LOTS OF TRAFFIC. I WAS PLEASED THAT NOBODY CREAMED ME WHILE I TRIED TO GAIN CONTROL OF CAR AND MAN HANDLE IT OFF THE ROAD. I SEE MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON HERE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. *TR
