STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
#1\DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR MAKES A LOUD CREAK, AND THEN A "POP" WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. IT STARTED ABOUT 1 WEEK AGO, AND HAS PROGRESSED TO WHERE I ENTER/EXIT THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I TOOK IT TO A BODY SHOP, & THEY STATED THEY HAD REPAIRED 5 SAME TYPE DOOR PROBLEMS WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. I HAVE MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW. PROBLEM #2= THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR ELECTRIC LOCK WILL NOT UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S DOOR. IT RAISES THE LEVER, BUT NOT COMPLETELY AND WILL NOT UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S DOOR. IT HAS TO BE DONE MANUALLY. PROBLEM#3= CAR STALLS WHEN LETTING OFF THE GAS AT LOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING AROUND CURVES. IT DOES THIS WHETHER IT IS HOT/COLD, WET/DRY OR FULL/LOW GAS TANK. I HAVE HAD FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED & FUEL FILTER CHANGED. PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR EVERY 3 TO 4 WEEKS, FOR A DAY OR TWO AND THEN DISAPPEARS. I HAVE TO SHIFT CAR TO NEUTRAL, RESTART IT AND GIVE IT SOME GAS. THEN, WHEN I WISH TO STOP, I HAVE TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, AND THE BRAKE, TO KEEP A STEADY FLOW OF GAS TO THE MOTOR OR IT DIES.

PAINT ON THE CARS' ROOF AND TRUNK IS SEVERLY ASHY WHITE AND PEELING. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH LEBARONS AROUND THE SAME YEAR. MINE IS A 87. POSSIBLE BAD BINDER IN THE PAINT, BAD PRIMER, OR MOISTURE DURING SETUP IS THE CAUSE. WILL THE COMPANY FIX THIS PROBLEM? IT'S A BEAUTIFUL STYLE CAR AND THE PAINTS APPEARANCE REALLY HURTS IT. THANKYOU. *AK

ALREADY REPORTED 10/98- DRIVER'S DOOR HINGE BROKE OFF DOOR. NOW 1/99 - PASSENGER'S DOOR HINGE BROKE OFF DOOR. CHRYSLER DID NOT SUPPORT THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. STATED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I DO NOT AGREE THAT BOTH DOOR HINGES SHOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED AFTER 60,000 MILES AT THE COST OF THE OWNER. CHRYLSER IS NOT ADMITTING THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. *AK
