FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY, STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
WITH THE FUEL LEAK WE SMELLED A LITE FUEL ODER AT FIRST WHEN WE STARTED THE CAR. THE ODER GOT STRONGER BY THE END OF THE MONTH. WE RECIVED A RECALL NOTICE SHORTLY AFTER . WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR ON 4/7/99 FOR THE RECALL & BC THE TIRES WOBBLED & SHOOK THE CAR AT 30-45 MPH. THEY FOUND THE LEFT INNER TIE ROD BRUSHINHS WERE WORN & TIRE ROD FLOPPING- THEY REPLACED THE TIRE ROD 7 LEFT TOE SPECS. THEY ALSO FOUND THE TRANSMISSION OIL LEAKING FROM THE COOLER HOSE.--ON 11/22/99 I WAS REVERSING AT 1 OR 2 MPH FROM A PARKING SPACE & THEN AS I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN FORWARD THERE WAS A VIOLENT JERKING ,& SHAKING BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE ANYWHERE AT ALL. I GOT OUT TO LOOK & THERE WAS WHEEL BERRINGS & THICK GREASE ALL OVER THE PARKING LOT. MY CAR WAS TOWED THE NEXT DAY TO AN AUTO MECH SHOP & REPARS WERE DONE. SHORTLY AFTER THAT WE RECIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAD REPAIRED. WE ARE STILL TRYING TO GET REIMBURSED FROM CHRYSLER CORP. FOR THAT INCIDENT. AND AS OF TODAY 6/25/00 WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN WITH THE FRONT WHEEL WOBBLING & SHAKING THE CAR WHEN DRIVEN AT 30-45 MPH FOR ABOUT 3 OR 4 WEEKS NOW. WE ARE CURRENTLY SAVING MONEY TO HAVE THAT REPAIRED AGAIN. WE HAVE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR BUT DID NOT INCLUDE THEM ON THE INVESTIGATION REPORT BC THEY WERE NOT LIFE THREATING---SUCH AS TRUNK OPENING ON OWN WHILE DRIVING-IT WAS FIXED BUT TRUNK OPEN LIGHT ON DASH PANEL COMES ON & OFF WHEN TRUNK IS CLOSED. --THE A/C LEAKED WATER ON PASSENGER FLOOR & HAS A BAD ODER WHEN PUT ON. ALMOST LIKE URINE. *AK
