- POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFTCampaign 04V021000 · 13/01/2004
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE FLOOR SHIFTER IGNITION-PARK INTERLOCK MAY FAIL AND ALLOW THE SHIFTER TO BE MOVED OUT OF THE PARK POSITION WITH THE KEY REMOVED. AN INOPERATIVE INTERLOCK MAY ALSO ALLOW THE KEY TO BE REMOVED WHEN THE SHIFTER HAS NOT BEEN PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION.
Risk: EITHER CIRCUMSTANCE MAY RESULT IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING AWAY WITHOUT WARNING.
Fix: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW LOAD-LIMITING PUSH ROD INTO THE FLOOR SHIFTER LEVER OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 14, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
- SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARMCampaign 99V215000 · 09/08/1999
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHING BRACKETS CAN CRACK DUE TO FATIGUE AND SEPARATE FROM THE ENGINE CRADLE.
Risk: IF THIS OCCURS, THE TRANSMISSION HALF-SHAFT COULD PULL OUT OF THE TRANSAXLE AND RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER.
Fix: DEALERS WILL REINFORCE THE ENGINE CRADLE AT THE POINT WHERE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHES TO IT.
- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRINGCampaign 94V024000 · 08/02/1994
THE RIGHT STEERING TIE ROD CAN RUB THROUGH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS CAUSING A SHORT CIRCUIT WHICH RESULTS IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS INCLUDING ENGINE STALLING AND AN INOPERATIVE PARK/STARTER INTERLOCK SYSTEM.
Risk: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION CAUSING STALLING WHILE IN MOTION OR AN INOPERATIVE PARK/STARTER INTERLOCK SYSTEM, WHICH ALLOWS ENGINE START WHILE THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN THE PARK POSITION, MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
Fix: INSTALL A REVISED WIRING HARNESS BRACKET AND A PLASTIC CONVOLUTED SLEEVE TO PROTECT THE TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS.
- FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEMCampaign 98V184000 · 06/08/1998
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES BUILT WITH 3.5L ENGINES. THE FUEL INJECTION DELIVERY SYSTEM CAN LEAK FUEL FROM SOME OF THE SEALING O-RINGS OR FROM HAIR LINE CRACKS IN THE THERMOSET FUEL INJECTION RAIL.
Risk: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
Fix: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL RAIL O-RINGS AND REINFORCE THE OUTLET (PASSENGER) SIDE FUEL RAIL. VEHICLES SHOWING FUEL LEAKAGE ON THE OUTLET FUEL RAIL MUST HAVE THE OUTLET RAIL REPLACED WHICH INCLUDES CHANGING THE UPPER AND LOWER INJECTOR O-RINGS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS OR FROM A CRACKED FUEL LINE, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

AROUND 9/15/03 - MY 1994 LHS STARTED TO VIBRATE WHILE IDLING. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND ONE DAY I NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS. I TOOK IT TO MY REPAIR SHOP FOR REPAIR. HE HAD THE CAR FROM 10/7 TO 10/11 TRYING TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AND FINALLY REPAIRED IT. AFTER PAYING $433.89 FOR THE REPAIR, I LOOKED AT THE REPAIR HISTORY (THE CAR BELONGED TO MY HUSBAND) AND FOUND OUT THAT THE CAR HAD A O-RING RECALL IN 1999. THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED RUSS DARROW, AUTHORIZED CHRYSLER DEALER, ABOUT THE RECALL WORK AND THEY SAID THE REPAIR SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER THAN 4 YEARS. THEY WEREN'T WILLING TO DO ANYTHING SINCE I HAD WORK DONE BY ARCHER AUTO. I HAVE THE RECEIPTS FOR ALL REPAIR WORK. I WOULD LIKE TO GET A REFUND OF THE MONEY I PAID BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO VERIFY THAT THE WORK DONE WAS CORRECT AND THAT I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A FIRE FROM GAS LEAKING FROM THE O-RING. *LA
