TRANSMISSION COULD BE IN PARK GEAR AND WILL JUMP TO REVERSE OR TO DRIVE, WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. HAD HAPPENED FREQUENLY, AND TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.*AK

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT ANY MPH COULD GO OVER A ROCK, THEN STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT WILL BE HARD, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT WA SCAUSING THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.*AK

VEHICLE WAS GOING 20-30MPH AND CONSUMER HEARD A BANG, AND STARTED LOSING CONTROL OF VEHICLE. WHILE LOSING CONTROL, VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER A FEW TIMES, LANDING UPSIDE. TIRES WERE PURCHASED 7-3-2001, SIZE P22560R16.*AK CONSUMER FEELS THAT A BLOWOUT WAS THE REASON FOR THE ACCIDENT, CONSUMER WAS INJURED IN ACCIDENT, FIRESTONE, DOT NUMBER EJA6CLH3600, P225/60R16. *SLC

IN COLD WEATHER HOOD PISTON ARM WHEN OPENED WILL NOT HOLD HOOD. AS A RESULT, IT COULD FALL ON TOP OF A PERSON. ALSO, CONSUMER HAD NOTICED THAT PISTON ARM WILL NOT HOLD PISTON SOMETIMES IN A WARM WEATHER. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.*AK

BOTH INNER TIE ROD BUSHINGS AND ATTACHED RODS HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE RIGHT SIDE HAD FAILED AND FALLEN OUT(RUBBER BUSHING), THE LEFT SIDE BUSHING WAS FRACTURED AND WORN OUT CAUSING PLAY IN THE RIGHT SIDE WHEEL STEERING, BOTH ITEMS WERE REPLACED AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE THE TWO BOLTS THAT HOLD THE SHORT RACK TO THE FRAME SHEERED OFF AT THE FRAME CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING. THE NEW BOLTS OBTAINED FROM CHRYSLER WERE GOLD IN COLOR INSTEAD OF BLACK LIKE THE ORIGINALS WHICH INDICATED TO MY MECHANIC THAT THE NEW ONES HAD A DIFFERENT HEAT TREATING PROCESS. I HAVE THE BOLTS AND PIECES PLUS PICTURES OF SAME AND WILL PROVIDE EITHER UPON REQUEST. HAD I NOT BEEN IN A PARKING LOT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DESASTER. WHILE I HAVE RECEIVED OTHER RECALL NOTICES FOR THIS CAR I NEVER RECEIVED ONE ON THIS.

STEERING NOISE WHEN TURNING WHEEL LEFT TO RIGHT, BUSHINGS ARE BAD AND RACK AND PINION NEEDS REPLACEING ACCORDING TO MECHANIC SAID SUCH WEAR IS UNUSUALLY FOR CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILES - DEALER, MAKER AWARE OF PROBLEM SAID IT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS A RECALL IS FORCED ON THEM - LOSE OF STEERING IS A SAFETY ISSUE

STEERING FAILURE BECAUSE BOLTS HAVE SHEARED OFF. CONSUMER STATED THAT TIE RODS HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. *AK

CONSUMER WAS AT A GASOLINE STATION. AS HE PULLED OUT HEARD A NOISE, AND LOST CONTROL. THERE WASN'T ANY STEERING. STEERING WHEEL WAS GOING AROUND IN CIRCLE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, THERE WERE NO INJURIES. *AK THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS CAUSED BY SNAPPING IN HALF OF THE BOLT THAT HOLD THE STEERING RACK TOGETHER. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS CUSTOMER PURCHASED IT. *YH
