VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
SUN ROOF WOULD OPENED ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 70MPH. SUCTION WOULD PULL IT UP FROM ATTACHMENT WHICH WAS ONLY GLUED DOWN. HEAD LINER WOULD ALSO BE SUCKED OUT WITH SUN ROOF. SUN ROOF FAILED TO HAVE SCREWS TO KEEP IT DOWN. GLUE KEPT MELTING IN THE SUN. HAVE TALKED TO DEALER AT LEAST 4 OR 6 TIMES ABOUT PROBLEM THAT COULD NOT BE RESOLVED.*AK

STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
BECAUSE VEHICLE WOULD WANDER ALL OVER THE ROAD WHILE DRIVNG AT ANY SPEED, IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP. AT THE DEALERSHIP, BOTH TIE ROD ENDS WERE REPLACED. ONE OF TIE ROD BUSHING WAS GONE, AND THE OTHER BUSHING WAS WORN OUT. *AK THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE STATES THAT IT IS UNUSUAL FOR THE TIE ROD TO WEAR PREMATURELY AND THINKS IT IS A DEFECT IN THE FRONT END THAT CAUSED IT. *YH

#727355August 9, 2000
STEERING:LINKAGES
THE INNER TIE ROD BUSHING ON THE RIGHT SIDE FELL OUT ALLOWING MUCH EXCESSSIVE LOOSENESS BETWEEN THE TWO FRONT WHEELS. THE BUSHING ON THE LEFT INNER TIE ROD WAS BADLY WORN AND CLOSE TO FALLING OUT. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR ACCURATELY. IF THIS IS SITUATION WAS NOT CORRECTED THE MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING COULD OCCUR IF THE TIE RODS BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE RACK AND PINION STEERING ASSEMBLY. I HAD BOTH TIE RODS REPLACED AND AN ALIGNMENT PERFORMED. STEERING IS NOW SATISFACTORY.

#717844January 25, 2000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
CONTINUING LACK OF BRAKING "POWER" I.E. PEDAL IS ON THE FLOOR AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH BRAKING FORCE GENERATED TO CUASE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES TO ACTUATE ,EVEN ON WET PAVEMENT, CAUSING LONGER STOPPING DISTANCES AND SOME REAL TENSE MOMENTS. DEALE HAS TRIED REPLACING SEVERAL COMPONENTS WITH NO RESULT AND I'M GETTING WORRIED THAT EVNTUALLY THER WILL BE AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY LACK OF BRAKING ABILITY IN WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A NO-PROBLEM, ROUTINE STOP. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS SHOWNING SAME BEHAVIOR- THESE APPEAR IN CHRYSLER LHS'S AND NEW YORKERS WHICH ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME VEHICLES UNDER THE SKIN. *AK

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 25 MILES. ENGINE STOPPED AND STEAM CAME OUT FROM RESERVE NO STEAM FROM THE WATER PUMP AREA. DEALER AND CHRYSLER SAY CAR WAS DRIVEN WITH NO COOLANT AND THAT WATER PUMP HAD FAILED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO BLOW. CHRYSLER WILL NOT HELP. COST OF ENGINE IS $4500+ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM APPEAR ON YOUR SITE. SOMEHOW, COOLANT IS BEING LOST THROUGH THE ENGINE AND NOT BY ANY VISIBLE SIGNS SUCH AS DRIPPING ON THE DRIVEWAY. . COOLANT WAS CHECKED THREE DAYS BEFORE. NO LEAKAGE OR DRIPS ON DRIVEWAY. CHRYSLER WILL NOT HELP. FOUND SEVERAL OTHER SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON THE NHTSA SITE. COST OF REPAIR IS $4500+

#716141December 16, 1999
SUSPENSION
PROBLEM: VEHICLE WANDERS AND REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTIVE STEERING INPUT FROM THE DRIVER. NO MATTER WHAT THE ROAD CONDITION( WET/DRY/FLAT/CROWNED), THE CAR WILL " DRIFT" AND OR PULL TO THE SIDE WITH OUT ANY APPARENT PATTERN, CONSEQUENTLY, INTENSE CONCENTRATION IS REQUIRED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. ALSO, THE EFFORT TO STEER RIGHT/ LEFT IS VARIABLE, AGAIN WITH OUT A PATTERN. THE CAR IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH SPEED-SENSITIVE STEERING. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE RECORDS, THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE SAME DIFFICULTY. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED ON A REGULAR BASIS; THE FRONT BRAKE ASSEMBLIES HAVE BEEN REPLACED, AND I HAVE PRECISELY ADJUSTED THE TIRE PSI ALL TO NO AVAIL. I HAD A 1996 EAGLE VISION THAT HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, THOUGH I DID NOT REPORT IT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *AK
