STEERING:RACK AND PINION:RACK
ON FEBRUARY 2002, 2 BOLTS CONNECTING TO THE RACK AND PINION AND TIE RODS SNAPPED IN HALF AND NEARLY CAUSED ME TO CRASH MY VEHICLE. THE SNAPPING OF THE BOLTS CAUSED THE MALFUNCTION OF THE RACK AND PINION AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION PLUS THE BOLTS (FROM CHRYSLER). ON JANUARY 23, 2004 , THE EXACT MALFUNCTION OCCURRED AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING ANOTHER ACCIDENT. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW A SOLID STEEL BOLT MANUFACTURED BY CHRYSLER CAN SNAP IN HALF AFTER ONLY 2 YEARS. I HAVE OWNED OTHER AUTOMOBILES OLDER THAN THE CHRYSLER LHS AND NEVER HAD A BOLT BREAK IN HALF AT ANY TIME. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ON BOTH OCCASIONS THAT I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. ALSO, THESE REPAIRS ARE COSTLY AND CAUSE ONE TO BE APPREHENSIVE ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE AGAIN. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
THE PURPOSE OF THIS COMPLAINT IS TO INFORM YOU OF A VERY FRIGHTENING, NEAR DEADLY EXPERIENCE I HAD WHILE DRIVING MY CHRYSLER LHS. ON JANUARY 7, 2004, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN MY GAS PEDAL STUCK AS I WAS GOING UP A HILL. I TRIED TO BREAK BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. I THEN ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THEN LOW GEAR - STILL NOT STOPPING OR SLOWING OF THE VEHICLE OCCURRED. AS I APPROACHED A 3-WAY INTERSECTION, I WAS FRANTICALLY TRYING TO STOP OR EVEN SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. I WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND MISSED HITTING A PICK UP TRUCK BY INCHES. ONCE AGAIN, I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. THIS TIME THE ENGINE REVVED HIGH AND REVVED UNTIL IT STOPPED. SMOKE IMMEDIATELY FILLED THE SURROUNDING AREA, ANTIFREEZE, AND OIL LEAKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED 911 AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, POLICE AND TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. IN RESPONSE TO THE QUESTIONS BELOW, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NO FIRE, SMOKE FILLED THE SURROUNDING AREA. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, I MISSED A PICK UP TRUCK BY INCHES. 911 WAS NOTIFIED AND THE POLICE, FIRE DEPARTMENT AND TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. *LA

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE ON VACATION IN FLORIDA WE NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS INSIDE THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. AFTER LOOKING THE ENGINE OVER WE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR RAIL IN THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE WAS SQUIRTING GAS OUT ON BOTH SIDES. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE COMING TO FLORIDA ON THE LONG DRIVE THE CAR WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE! THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY TO MY FAMILY AND MYSELF. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF MY CAR WAS EVER RECALLED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? THIS HAS RUINED OUR TRIP TO ORLANDO AS WE MISSED OUR RESERVATION TIME DO TO THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE NO WAY HOME NOW.
