POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
CURRENTLY, AFTER CHRYSLER REFUSED TO WARRANTY THE VEHICLE, I HAD TO TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 16, 1999. I AM FURIOUS AT THE WAY THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED, AND CHYSLER HAS GIVEN NO CUSOMER SATISFACTION, AND HAVE TURNED THEIR NOSES UP IN THE AIR, AND AL OF MY COMPLAINTS PREVIOUS TO TRIAL, BOTH MAIL, AND THROUGH THE PHONE AND PERSONAL FELL ON DEAF EARS. IF YOU WISH, PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE CONTACT ME, I HAVE PLENTY MORE TO SAY ABOUT THE DEFECT, IT'S CIRCUMSTANCES AND THE OVERALL ASPECT OF HAVING TO SPEND EXTRA TIME AND MONEY TO GO TO COURT TO HAVE A PROBLEM FIXED THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY CHRYSLER A LONG TIME AGO, THANK YOU. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE, STEERING
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE RETURNED IT FOR SERVICE 4 TIMES, AND NEED TO BRING IT BACK IN AGAIN. FIRST THEY SAID IT WAS A SOLENOID. THEN THEY TRACED ALL OF THE WIRING. THE TIME AFTER THAT THEY REPLACED THE MODULE. NEXT THEY REPLACED ALL OF THE SPARK PLUGS (RECALL SERVICE). THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS 2-3 WEEKS AGO, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALREADY BACK ON. THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE HAS BEEN GOOD, BUT THEY NOR CHRYSLER SEEM TO KNOW WHY THIS IS OCCURRING. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE FRONT BRAKES LOCK UP, BUT THE REAR WHEELS CONTINUE TO TURN, WHICH IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS DURING SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. DEALER HAS TRIED TO CORRECT PROBLEM BY REPLACING DRUMS AND VALVE, BUT THAT DID NOT CURE THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE NOW ORDERED A NEW MASTER CYLINDER. WE ARE HOPING THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER CURES THE PROBLEM, BUT ARE CONCERNED THAT OTHER PEOPLE MAY NOT REALIZE THAT THERE REAR BRAKES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

IN THE MORNING THE VEHICLE WOULD BACKFIRE ANDWHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AFTER IT SITS FOR 20 MINUTES. NOW THE DEALER HAS REPLACED A EXHAUST MANIFOLD /CATALYTIC CONVERTER/TPS SENSOR/AIR INTAKE HOUSING,A BROKEN STUD IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO HEAD ASSEMBLY, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST YEAR AND I GET THE SAME REPLY I CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM OR IT'S IN THE COMPUTER. THIS WAS ALL TAKEN CARE OFF, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXSISTS. I'VE TALKED ATO A LAWYER AND HE COULDN'T HELP ME. MAYBE YOU CAN AS THIS DOES CAUSE A FLAME TO COME OUT OF THE INTAKE. AND NOW IT'S GETTING WORSE NOW IT'S WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A 25 - 30 MPH. WHAT CAN I DO? PLEASE HELP, SCARED TO DRIVE IT MIGHT EXPLODE THE ENGINE WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH MY SON OR GIRLFRIEND. *AK

#704685March 20, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
MY FUEL TANK IS THE PROBLEM. IT FIRST STARTED LEAKING IN 1991 WHEN I FIRST GOT MY JEEP. IT WAS REPAIRED. THEN IT STARTED LEAKING AGAIN IN 1996, AND I TOOK IN, IT AND THE RECALL COVERED THAT REPAIR. THEN AGAIN IN 1998, THE TANK LEAKED AGAIN. SAME PROBLEM EACH TIME. THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL SEND UNIT, BUT EACH TIME THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY. THE ONLY TIME THE MANUFACTURER PAID FOR IT WAS WHEN I TOOK IT IN UNDER THE RECALL. THE OTHER TIMES, I PAID FOR IT. BECAUSE IT IS THE GAS TANK, IT COULD EASILY LEAD TO FATALITIES. I FEEL IF THE PART FOR THIS REPAIR IS NEVER GOING TO BE RIGHT, THEN THEY SHOULD CONTINUE TO REPLACE IT AS IF THE RECALL WAS STILL IN EFFECT. THIS IS DANGEROUS! AFTER I BLEW UP AT THE DEALER THE LAST TIME (PITRE IN PHOENIX), THEY TAMPERED WITH MY GAS GAUGE AND NOW IT DOESN'T READ ACCURATELY. THEY NEED TO BE PUT ON NOTICE THAT THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC -- THE DEALERSHIP'S BEHAVIOR AS WELL AS THE MANUFACTURER REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE PART. RECALL 94V-106. *AK

VEHICLE HAS ANTI-LOCK BRAKERS ON ALL 4-WHEELS. ON SLICK ROADS,GRASS,MUD, SNOW, FRONT WHEELS LOCK UP AND YOU DONT HAVE ANY CONTROL AS YOU CANT STEER. THE LOCK IS WORKING ON FRONT BRAKES BUT NOT THE ANTI. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I DONT DRIVE IN SNOE. I HAVE REPORTED NUMEROUS TIME TO DEALER AND CHRYSLER. THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT SERVICE MGR ALMOST WENT IN DITCH. LAST TIME I CALLED CHRYSLER THE LADY HUNG UP ON ME.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I CALLED CHRYSLER THIS A.M. AND THE GIRL HUNG UP ON ME SHE SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GET SOMEONE ELSE TO HELP ME. I HAVE HAD MY 1997 JEEP WRANGLER, SAHARA TO GARAGE I DONT KNOW HOW MANY TIMES SINCE IT WAS NEW. IT HAS ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON ALL 4-WHEELS AND ON SLICK ROADS THE FRONT WHEELS LOCK UP AND YOU CANNOT STEER IT THEN. IN SNOW, GRAVEL, GRASS ETC. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I DONT THINK THAT THEY SHOULD HANG UP ON ME AS I OWN DODGE 1999 TRUCK AND CHEROKEE LIMITED ALL BOUGHT NEW.
