#724731June 28, 2000
STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
ON MAKING A LEFT TURN, IN TRAFFIC, FROM A DEAD STOP AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL TIE ROD END PULLED APART, CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE PLOWED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, NARROWLY MISSING OTHER VEHICLES, AND THROUGH SHEER LUCK, WITHOUT INJURY TO ANYONE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY.NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN A MULTIPLE FATALITY ACCIDENT. THIS CAR HAS SUPPOSEDLY BEEN LUBRICATED AT 4,000 MILE INTERVALS, AT THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THE MOST RECENT LUBE JOBS WERE 04/22/1999 AT 38,090 MILES, 09/09/1999 AT 42,615 MILES, AND 01/27/2000 AT 46,718 MILES. THE FALILURE OF THE TIE ROD END OCCURED 05/10/2000 AT 49,748 MILES. AS OF THIS DATE, CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS FAILED TO INVESTIGATE THIS NEAR FATAL INCIDENT. I CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER ABOUT MAY 12, 2000. I WAS GIVEN A CASE REFERENCE NUMBER OF :717-1415 . I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM CHRYSLER SINCE THEN. I WILL CONTACT THEM AGAIN, AS I CONSIDER THIS A VERY SERIOUS FAILURE, THAT COULD EASILY HAVE COST SEVERAL LIVES. YOUR HELP IN INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE OF THIS FAILURE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I HAVE THE PART THAT FAILED. I CAN EMAIL YOU A SCANNED IMAGE OF THE FAILED TIE ROD END. THANK YOU. *AK

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

#711390September 15, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES SPORADICALLY- MOST DANGEROUS AT INTERSECTIONS WHEN CAR WILL PROCEED INTO INTERSECTION THEN DRIVE TRAIN WILL FAIL AND ENGINE WILL RACE AS DRIVER PANICS AND HITS GAS PEDAL WHILE CROSS TRAFFIC IS BEARING DOWN - TRANSMISSION WILL USUALLY RE ENGAGE WITHOUT ANY ADJUSTMENT ON DRIVERS PART. BUT THIS IS NOT A SHIFTING PROBLEM AS TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE THROUGHOUT JOURNEY- ITS JUST THAT SOMETIMES IT ACTS LIKE ITS IN NEUTRAL AND LEAVES YOU STRADDLED ACROSS A LANE OR RAIL LINE WHICH YOU HAD STOPPED AT TO JUDGE IF THE CROSSING WAS CLEAR.
