#724288June 20, 2000
POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/HAND LEVER(MOTORCYCLE)
CLUTCH PEDAL LINKAGE DETACHED AND CLUTCH WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. CLUTCH WAS THEN INOPERATIVE AND VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO NEARBY DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. DEALER REPLACED CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. IF THIS FAILURE HAD OCCURED IN TRAFFIC OR IN A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING, SERIOUSLY BODILY INJURY COULD HAVE RESULTED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE OF THIS EXACT TYPE OF FAILURE ON MANY DIFFERENT YEARS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED ON THIS DEFECT. *AK

#718497February 9, 2000
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
WITHIN IN THE LAST 2 YEARS, THE COOLING SYSTEM HAS A HAD AN OFF-AND-ON ANTIFREEZE LEAK. PARTS REPLACED INCLUDE THE RADIATOR, BOTH THE UPPER AND LOWER RADIATOR HOSES, THE WATER PUMP, THE THERMOSTAT, AND THE FREEZE PLUG. A LEAK STILL EXISTS, CAUSING ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT SOMEWHERE NOT YET DETERMINED.

#717327January 14, 2000
PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
WHEN THE DEFROST STEAMS THE WINDOWS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WATER/MOISTURE THAT ENTERS THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. CREATES A VISIBILITY HAZARD, FOGS ALL WINDOWS. WATER ALSO DRAINS ONTO FLOORBOARDS. PARKING BRAKE DISENGAGING IS VERY INTERMITTENT. NEVER CAN TELL IF IT WILL HOLD. RELYING SOLELY ON REVERSE GEAR FOR HOLDING VEHICLE. HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE WITH FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM. GOES ALL THE WAY UP WHEN FILLED, BUT WILL NOT GO BELOW 1/4 OF A TANK. CONSISTENT PROBLEM. SHIFTING INTO FIRST OFTEN REQUIRES FIRST SHIFTING INTO FIFTH THEN BACK TO 1ST IN ORDER TO ENGAGE. OH, FORGOT TO MENTION, PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK, INTERMITTENT ALSO. *AK

#703505February 19, 1999
POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
RETAINER CLIP BROKE OFF MAIN SHAFT, CAUSING FIFTH GEAR NOT TO ENGAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP FOR REPAIR. PIECES OF THE CLIP WERE FOUND IN TRANSMISSION CASE. THE TRANSMISSION TECHNICIAN ORDERED A REPLACEMENT RETAINER CLIP FROM CHRYSLER PARTS, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS FREQUENTLY. THE CHARGE FOR THE RETAINER CLIP WAS $4.87. THE COST TO REMOVE, REPAIR, AND REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WAS $400 PLUS GEAR OIL AND TAXES. IF I WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THE REPAIRS MAY HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S 7 YEAR, 70,000 MILE WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THE REPEATED OCCURRENCE OF THIS CLIP FAILURE. *AK
