STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, STEERING:RACK AND PINION, STEERING:LINKAGES
AUTO HAS EXHIBITED A CONSISTENT PROBLEM BEING A GRINDING NOISE ACCOMPANIED BY DIFFICULTY IN STEERING. THIS PROBLEM MANIFESTS ITSELF PARTICULARLY IN COLD WEATHER. DEALER HAS REPLACED: RIGHT STRUT ASSEMBLY, RIGHT TIE ROD END, RIGHT STABILIZER LINK, RIGHT UPPER STRUT MOUNT - REPLACED THE STEERING RACK ON TWO OCCASIONS AND THE STEERING PUMP ON THREE OCCASIONS. DESPITE THESE EFFORTS, THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY A DEALER MECHANIC THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE YET I CANNOT GET CHRYSLER CORP. TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

SUSPENSION:FRONT
LOUD NOISE COMES FROM FRONT END WHEN A BUMP IS HIT IN THE ROAD, WE HAVE SPENT OVER $800 TRYING TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL. WE HAVE REPLACED THE RACK & PINION RACK, THE STRUTS & THE TIE RODS. WE WOULD LIKE SOME KIND OF ASSISTANCE IN FIGURING OUT THIS PROBLEM. WE HAD SEVERAL MECHANICS SAY IT WAS THE RACK, WE DID THAT & IT DIDN'T HELP AT ALL. I THINK IF CHRYSLER MADE A GOOD CAR, WE WOULDN'T BE INVESTING THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY IN A CAR. WE HAVE 8 PEOPLE IN OUR FAMILY THAT OWNS CHRYSLER & DODGE CARS & TRUCKS & WE HAVE ALL HAD PROBLEMS. WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE BUYING CHRYSLER PRODUCTS, BUT CAN'T SEEM TO AFFORD THE CAR PAYMENT WHEN WE ARE SPENDING MORE IN REPAIRS MONTHLY.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE OF THE FUEL RAIL IN OUR 1994 CHRYSLER LHS. THE DEALER HAS INFORMED US THAT 1994 CHRYSLER LHS VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 98V184000). HOWEVER, THEY HAVE TOLD US THAT OUR CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT OUR CAR SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE RECALL. PLEASE NOTIFY ME ASAP WITH REGARD TO THIS MATTER. THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, BUT THAT THEY HAVE A BACK ORDER OF OVER 1000 UNITS FOR THE NECESSARY PARTS. WE HAVE CONTACTED OTHER SUPPLY STORES, BUT THEY TELL US THAT THIS IS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ONLY. SO WE HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS BUT TO DRIVE THE CAR IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION. I APPRECATE YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION TO THIS INQUIRY.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
THE PROBLEM IS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN IN OPERATION. SO STRONG THAT IT COMES THROUGH THE HEAT VENTS TO THE POINT THAT YOU GET A HEADACHE WHEN DRIVING WITH THE HEAT ON. A STRONG ODOR OF GAS CAN ALSO BE DETECTED OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
WE REPLACED THE WARPED ROTORS ON APRIL 10, 1998 AND HAVE SINCE HAD THEM TURNED TWICE. OF COURSE NONE OF THIS WAS UNDER WARANTY. WE WERE WONDERING IF THERE WERE OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND IF IT COULD BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR TO CAUSE THIS REPETITIVE PROBLEM. OTHER VEHICLES THAT WE HAVE OWNED DID NOT PRESENT THESE PROBLEMS FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR.
