1995 CHRYSLER LHS Complaints

WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS STANDING BY THE VEHICLE IT SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD. CONSUMER RAN BEHIND THE VEHICLE, GRABBED THE DOOR AND WAS DRAGGED A FEW FEET, INJURING HIS KNEES, BEFORE HE WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND SLAM THE GEAR INTO PARK. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHERE HE WAS TOLD HE HAD STRIPPED A GEAR. HOWEVER, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SHIFT INTERLOCK. CONSUMER FELT THAT SINCE THE RECALL CAUSED HIM TO STRIP THE GEAR WHEN THE VEHICLE ROLLED, SHOULD BE PART OF THE REPAIR MADE TO THE VEHICLE, ALONG WITH THE SHIFT INTERLOCK NHTSA RECALL 04V021000.*AK

A YELLOW SUBSTANCE ACCUMULATED INSIDE THE HEADLIGHTS LENS. THIS WOULD DISTRACT THE DRIVER'S VIEW WHEN DRIVING DURING NIGHT HOURS. *JB MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. *TT

CONSUMER HAD TO PUT 2 TRANSMISSIONS INTO VEHICLE. THIS ONE THAT IS IN THE VEHICLE NOW IS DEFECTIVE. CONSUMER PUT KEY INTO THE IGNITION, AND SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL JERK.ALSO, WHILE DRIVING SOME TIMES VEHICLE WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS.

POWER SUN ROOF FLEW OUT OF THE TOP OF THE CAR. THE FRAM AND BASIC CAB;E STRUCTURE REMAINED BUT THE GLASS BLEW OUT. REPLACEMENT COST IS ESTIMATED AT $800 PLUS LABOR. THIS SEEMS VERY HIGH TO ME. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN TRAVELING BEHIND US.*AK

BRAKES PERFORM POORLY, REQUIRING EXCESSIVE PEDAL TO STOP VEHICLE. FUEL RAIL IS LEAKING FUEL, AWAITING MECHANIC DETERMINATION IF IT'S COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. *AK

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT STUCK WHILE ADJUSTING IT BACKWARDS OR FORWARDS. THE DEALER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE SEAT RAIL BRACKET WAS DEFECTIVE. *AK IN ORDER TO GET THE SEAT TO MOVE UNLESS IT WAS RUN BACK AND FORTH A FEW TIMES IT WOULD FINALLY LURCH TO THE SIDE THEN FORWARD.

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A 1995 CHRYSLER LHS BACK IN THE WINTER OF 2000. WHEN WARMER WEATHER HIT WE TURNED ON OUR AIR CONDITIONER AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SCREAM, WE TOOK IT BACK AND SUPPOSEDLY THEY FIXED IT, IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE PLACE WE BOUGHT IT FROM AGAIN SAME THING FOR A THIRD TIME AND BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY INFORMED US THEY THERE WAS REALLY NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR US BUT INSTALL A USED CONDENSER UNIT EACH TIME. WELL IT WORKED FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN IT QUIT AGAIN. MY HUSBAND WENT AND BOUGHT THE PARTS WE NEEDED AND FIXED IT HIMSELF. IT WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND NOW SAME THING, NO AIR CONDITIONER. JUST RECENTLY WE BEGAN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING. MY HUSBAND REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, IT WORKED FINE FOR A DAY AND WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 18 MONTH OLD SON IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER IT STALLED ABOUT 25 TIMES DURING OUR RIDE HOME. I HAD TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF WAIT 5 MINS AND THEN TRY AGAIN. I HELD UP TRAFFIC 3 TIMES BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT A SHOULDER TO PULL OVER ON. I HATE THIS CAR. NOW THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM, AS FOR PUTTING IT ON A DIAGNOSTICS MACHINE, WE DID THAT AND BECAUSE THE CAR NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN TO STALL, NO CODES WILL COME UP, OUT ANOTHER $125. THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT A MONEY PIT. AS FOR THE RECALLS, WELL THIS SCARES ME AS I COULD NOT POSSIBLE FIND OUT THE TRUTH IF THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE EVER MADE. THE FIRE HAZARD IS ENOUGH NOT TO WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE RECALL I FOUND DEALS WITH THE FUEL INJECTION DELIVERY SYSTEM, SYSTEM CAN LEAK FUEL FROM SOME OF THE SEALING O-RINGS OR FROM HAIR LINE CRACKS IN THE THERMOSET FUEL INJECTION RAIL. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL RAIL O RINGS AND REINFORCE THE OUTLET (PASSENGER) SIDE FUEL RAIL. VEHICLES SHOWING FUEL LEAKAGE ON THE OUTLET RAIL MUST HAVE THE OUTLET RAIL REPLACED WHICH INCLUDES CHANGING THE UPPER AND LOWER INJECTOR O-RINGS

LOST OF STEERING AND BRAKES DUE TO CRACKING AND FAILURE OF SUBFRAME.*MR THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEALER FOR REPAIRS IT COST APPROXIMATELY $1040.00. THE CONSUMER THEN FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CONTROL ARMS. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS HE HAD TO PAY, THE CONSUMERS CLAIM WAS DENIED AND HE WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. *CB (RECALL #99V215000) *JB
