STRUCTURE:BODY
I BELIEVE THE FAILURE EXISTED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM SIERRA MOTORS IN APRIL OF 2000 BUT I WAS UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE IT AT THE TIME BECAUSE I HAD NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I HAD THE CAR IN ABOUT 1 WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT DUE TO FUEL LINE FAILURE AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE UNDERCARRIAGE WHILE THEY WERE AT IT AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE LONGER I HAD THE CAR, THE WORSE IT GOT UNTIL I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK AND TOLD THEM IT SEEMS TO WALK WHEN I DRIVE IT AND SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG WITH THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE CAR. THIS TIME THEY DID FIND IT BUT THEY SAID IT DID NOT HAVE A RECALL ON IT. MY DAUGHTER FOUND A RECALL ON THE 1994 CONCORD FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I WANT TO FIND OUT WHY MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED AND WHAT I CAN DO TO GET IT INCLUDED. THANK YOU. JEANETTE YARBROUGH. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING
FRONT SUSPENSION BUSHINGS HAVE WORN PREMATURLY AND CONSISTANTLY WITH THIS CAR. IS THERE A REASON FOR THIS. WE MAINTAIN TIRES, ALIGNMENTS, ETC. THE FRONT TIROD BUSHINGS SEEM TO BE CONSISTANTLY BEING REPLACEED. THE BUSHINGS WERE REPLACED ABOUT 12,000 MILES AGO. THE CAR LOST TRACTION IN SNOW AND SPUN OUT. WHEN THE INSURANCE AND DEALER INSPECTED THE CAR, THEY REPLACED A BLOWN TRANSMISSION LINE, AND INDICATED THE FRONT BUSHINGS WERE DRY ROTTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF LUBE/OIL CHANGES FOR THIS CAR. CAN YOU GIVE GUIDEANCE ON THIS PROBLEM WITH WHICH TO ADDRESS THE DEALER.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AFTER THE CAR SPUN OUT IN A SNOW STORM, A TRANSMISSION LINE CONNECTION FAILED. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN UNTIL IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I AM ASSUMING THE TRANSMISSION OIL WAS DEPLETED. THE DRIVER COMPLAINED OF JERKING, ETC. AND HAVING TO REV THE ENGINE QUITE A LOT TO GET THE CAR MOVING. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD GRAB AND SLIP, ETC. THE DEALER NOW STATES THAT OTHER THAN THE REPLACEMENT OF THE LINE FITTING AND TRANSMISSION LFUIDS, THERE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN FURTHER DAMAGE. HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO SLIP AND GRAB AT LOW SPEED FROM A STOP AND SLIPS WHEN USING PASSING GEAR. WHAT DAMAGE COULD HAVE BEEN INCURRED BY RUNNING THE TRANSMISSION DRY OVER A TEN MILE DRIVE. I AM FOLLOWING UP ON THI FOR MY MOTHER IN LAW WHO IS CURRENTLY HOSPITALIZED. THANK YOU.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:SUPPORT DEVICE/STRUT
GAS STRUTS SUPPORT THE HOOD WHEN RAISED ON THIS VEHICLE, IN LIEU OF THE MORE TRADITIONAL SPRINGS OR PROP. APPARENTLY, WHEN THE CAR MOVES FROM A MODERATE TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENT TO A COLD ENVIRONMENT AFTER A FEW YEARS OF SERVICE, THESE GAS STRUTS WILL NOT ADEQUATELY SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE HOOD, WHICH THEN FALLS ON THE DRIVER'S HEAD AS HE CHECKS THE OIL, CAUSING LACERATIONS AND POTENTIALLY A CONCUSSION OR OTHER SERIOUS INJURY. THE TRANSMISSION, WITH AGE, IN VERY COLD WEATHER, CAN REFUSE TO SHIFT INTO A FORWARD GEAR AFTER BACKING THE CAR OUT ONTO A ROADWAY, CAUSING A MAJOR POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROPENSITY SHOULD TRIGGER A RECALL BY CHRYSLER TO FORECLOSE SERIOUS INJURIES AND ACCIDENTS. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM OUT OF TOWN MY CAR LOCKED IN 2ND GEAR. STILL WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME. HAD DEALER CHECK IT OUT AND FOUND IT IS SEAL/CLUTCH FAILURE WITH LIMP IN ...THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE KNOWN DEFECT OF THIS TRANSMISSION 42LE. THERE ARE SEVERAL SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS AND ALOT OF THE EXACT SAME FAILURES. BEEN RESEARCHING ON THE NET..CLASS ACTION SUIT MAY ALSO BE PENDING REGARDING THIS DEFECT AND CHRYLER REFUSING TO RECALL...SET UP FILE WITH CHRYLSER THIS AM #8117947. THEY REFUSED GOODWILL REPAIR SO FAR WITH STANDARD EXCUSE, VEHICLE IS OUT OF 3YR/36000 MILE WARRANY...DESPITE TSB"S. THIS HAS BEEN A SERIOUS AND ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANNY AND CHRYSLER KNOWS. THEY TRY TO GET OUT OF REPAIRING CARS WITH THIS DEFECT BUT USUALLY END HAVING TO PAY SOME IN SMALL CLAIMS CT ETC. I WAS TOLD WE HAVE TO REALLY FIGHT SINCE THIS IS A KNOW DEFECT. $1400.00 TO REPAIR IT. RESEARCHING ON THE NET I FIND CHRYSLER KNOWS ABT THE DEFECT AND HAD KNOW FOR A VERY LONG TIME..EVEN DEVELOPING A NEW TYPE OFSEAL SET FOR THESE TRANNY'S..EXCEPT THEY WON'T RECALL THE THOUSAND OF VEHICLES AND INSTALL THE NEW REDESIGNED KIT UNLESS THEY ARE FORCED TOO.IT IS A DESIGN FLAW ..LOTS OF INFO ON THIS ON THE NET...LOTS OF TSB'S ON THIS TRANNY TOO..WISH YOU WOULD FORCE A RECALL!
