1999 CHRYSLER LHS Complaints

MY LHS HAS SOME TYPE OF FRONT END PROBLEM WE HAVE HAD TO BUY AND REPLACE MANY TIRE FOR THIS CAR. IM LUCKY TO HAVE HAD FOUND THE BAD TIRES BEFORE BLOWING OUT EACH TIME. I WANT TO KNOW IF IM THE ONYL ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I TRY TO GO WITH THE CUSTOMER ARBITRATION AND GOT NO WHERE.THE DEALER WANTED TO PUT ME IN A DIFFERENT CAR AND GIVE ME $6000.00 DOLLARS LESS WHAT PAY OFF WAS. I'M STILL DRIVING A PROBLEM AND HAD TO GET TWO MORE TIRES 5/4/2002.*AK

AFTER BACKING UP, WHEN SHIFTING TO DRIVE IT TAKES 30-40 SECONDS BEFORE VEHICLE RESPONDS. DEALER CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM.

ON 4-18-02 MY WIFE WAS BACKING OUR 1999 LHS CHRYSLER OUT OF OUR DRIVE ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, THE SHIFTER CABLE ON THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED, LEAVING THE VEHICLE STRANDED INN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. MY MECHANIC CALLED OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO ORDER THE PART AND THE SERVICE DEPT. TOLD US THAT THERE WAS OVER 600 ON BACKORDER FOR THE N.C. AND VA. SERVICE AREA. WELL, HOW MANY WERE IN CIRCULATION BEFORE THE SUPPLY RAN OUT??? I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE ABOUT ANY RECALLS ON THE MANNNER AND THERE WERE NONE AND THE PERSON AT CHRYSLER SAID THAT IT WOULD NOT BE RECALLED. I THINK THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE VEHICLE CAN BE STRANDED, UNABLE TO MOVE, IN SOME VERY DANGEROUS SITUATUIONS AND COULD HARM THE OCCUPANTS.*AK

TIRES BEGAN TO LOSE AIR PRESSURE, CONSUMER FEELS THIS IS DUE TO THE 17 INCH CHROME ALUMINUM RIMS. *SLC

HOOD MOULDING IS LOOSE AND COMES OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CAN CRACK, COMES THROUGH WINDSHIELD AFFECTING DRIVER CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH. *AK

IF DASHBOARD IN COLOR IS OTHER THAN BLACK OR CHARCOAL, BECAUSE OF THE ANGLE OF THE WINDSHIELD, A TERRIBLE GLARE IS EMITTED WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUNLIGHT. VISUAL AID IS DISTORTED TERRIBLY, ENOUGH SO THAT AN ACCIDENT COULD RESULT FROM DRIVING INTO THE SUN.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH AND WITHOUT ANY INDICATION VEHICLE STALLS. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED, BUT CAN NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. *AK DEALER HAS REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND FUEL FILTER.

WHENEVER WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND FOR NO REASON VEHICLE WOULD DIE OUT. AT TIME OF THIS OCCURRENCE, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WOULD BE ON AND REMAIN UNTIL VEHICLE HAD STALLED. NOT ABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE SOMETIMES.*AK
