#702204January 14, 1999
POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION LINE LEAK FIXED (REPLACEMENT OF THE LINE). WE ALOS SMELLED A GASOLINE SMELL WHEN STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNING. THE DEALER INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS ALSO A FUEL LEAK IN A LINE ON THE ENGINE. THE DELAER TOLD US THAT THE LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. WE LET THEM HAVE THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE FIXED IN A WEEK. THREE WEEKS LATER WE WERE STILL WITHOUT THE CAR; THE DELAER TOLD US THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT SUPPLYING THE ORIGINAL FACTORY PART FOR REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THE PART WAS APPARENTLY BEING REDESIGNED. WE ASKED WHY AN ORIGINAL FACTORY PART COULD NOT BE INSTALLED; THEY SAID IT COULD, BUT THAT THE PART MIGHT NOT WORK AND WE MIGHT RISK A FIRE. CHRYSLER DID NOT CHARGE FOR THE PART, BUT WE WERE OUT OF US OF THE CAR FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS.

#701187January 12, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILED FUEL RAIL CAUSES FUEL TO BE SPRAYED ALL OVER FRONT OF ENGINE AT SIGNIFICANT RATE. AUTOMOBILE HAS BEEN AT DEALER FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER THAT THIS IS PARTICULAR FAILURE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE, AND THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS IN THE SYSTEM TO REPAIR THE CARS SINCE THERE IS A BACKLOG OF OVER 2000 REQUESTS FOR THESE FUEL RAILS. ALSO HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE 1993 SERIES 3.3L ENGINES WERE RECALLED FOR THE FUEL RAIL SYSTEM. CHECK THIS PROBLEM OUT. OUR CAR SMELLED OF RAW GAS FOR OVER A MONTH, BUT NO ONE COULD FIND THE LEAK UNTIL THERE WAS A COMPLETE FAILURE AND THE LARGE AMOUNTS OF FUEL WAS BEING SPRAYED ON THE ENGINE. THIS WEEK, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT A SECOND CAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO GORDON CHYRSLER-PLYMOUTH FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THANKS.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION CAUSING SHUDDER WHEN SHIFTING INTO 4TH AROUND 40MPH. DEALER INDICATES NEED TRANSMISSION REBUILD. VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED TO OWNER'S MAUNAL SPECS. I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYLSER HAD A PROBLEM CLEANING THE TRANSMISSION CASE AT THE TIME MINE WAS MANUFACTURED. DEBRIS WAS LEFT IN CASE THAT CAN WEAR TRANSMISSION EXCESSIVELY. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE CHRYSLER COVER THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. OBVIOUSLY THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT AT 50000 MILES. THANK-YOU
