• 12/31/1998· POWER TRAIN

  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

  MY VEHICLE DOES NOT CHANGE INTO SECOND GEAR. I FOUND OUT WHILE I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND BECAME A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS. WHEN IN REVERSE, IT HAS A "CLUNK" NOISE WHEN THE GAS IS APPLIED. THE PROBLEM CAME ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT WARNING. THERE ARE ALSO COMPUTER AND IGNITION PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS CRACKLING IN THE DASHBOARD WHEN THE HEATER IS ON, THE IGNITION SWITCH CANNOT BE TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE ON POSITION WHEN THE CAR IS ON OR THE ABS LIGHT WILL COME ON AND PREVENTS FUNCTION OF THE HEATER. *TR

  FRONT END STRUTS WRE REPLACED AFTER REPORTING CLUNKING NOISE IN FRONT END WHEN CAR WAS PLACED IN REVERSE. ONE YEAR LATER, WHILE ENROUTE FROM PENNSYLVANIA TO WASHINGTON ON VACATION, THE STEERING BROKE WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IN AN UNDERGROUND PARKING LOT IN SOUTH BEND, IN. RACK AND PINION WAS REPAIRED BY DEALERSHIP IN SOUTH BEND. STARTED TO SMELL GAS FUMES IN VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING TO WASHINGTON. TRIED TO GET REPAIRS IN SOUTH DAKOTA BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND A DEALERSHIP WHO WOULD REPAIR IT. LOCATED DEALERSHIP IN PASCO, WASHINTON TOREPAIR THE FUEL LINE WHICH WAS NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY AFTER RACK REPAIR, AS I WAS TOLD BY DEALER. BATTERY EXPLODED WHILE IN PARKING LOT AT LOCAL MALL. AIR CONDITIONER STARTED EMITTING MUSTY SMELL. HAD AIR CONDITIONER CHARGED TWICE AND IT STILL DOESNT SEEM TO HOLD A CHARGE. CAR WOULD NOT START ON 12/3/1999. THINKING IT WAS THE BATTERY, TRIED TO JUMP THE CAR BUT WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE IT MIGHT BE THE TIMING BELT. NOW I FIND THE WATER PUMP LEAKED WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED A BLOWN GASKET.

  I AM AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER. WHEN THE FAILURE WAS FOUND (LEAKING FLUID DOWN THE INNER APRON AND RAIL ) I CHECKED FOR A USED ASSY. SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. OF 2 UNITS I HAD SHIPPED OUT I FOUND THE SAME STRESS FRACTURE ON BOTH IN THE SAME LOCATION. THE CRACK IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TANK AT THE MOUNTING POINT PROJECTION. TANK IS HELD IN PLACE BY A TAB ON THE BOTTOM AND 1 BOLT INTO THE TOP/SIDE BRACKET. I THINK THIS COULD BE A OEM PROBLEM AND COULD LEAD TO STEERING FAILURE OR POSSIBLE FIRE. I WANTED EVERYONE TO BE AWARE AND IF POSSIBLE HAVE THE PROBLEM CHECKED BY THE PROPER AUTHORITIES. THANK YOU.
