WHILE STANDING NEXT TO THEIR VEHICLE, CONSUMER SMELT GAS FUMES. CONSUMER THEN CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD, AND SAW THAT THEIR WAS FUEL ON TOP OF THE ENGINE MOTOR. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THEIR WAS A LEAK IN THE FUEL PIPE. TS IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE FUEL RAIL WAS LEAKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TT

I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CHRYSLER -- PEOPLE STOP ME IN MALLS, SUPERMARKETS AND ASK ME IF I'VE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AS THEY HAVE -- ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1990 EVERYONE I'VE SPOKEN TO THAT HAS HAD A CHRYSLER VAN, NEW YORKER, DYNASTY, ETC. HAS HAD MAJOR TRANSMISSIONS PROBLEMS AND/OR HAS HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. IN SPEAKING WITH MY LOCAL AAMCO TRANSMISSION REPS AND CONTINENTAL TRANSMISSION REP (A BUFFALO STORE) -- CHRYSLER CARS ARE THEIR NUMBER 1 REPAIR. I HAD OCCASION TO SPEAK WITH THE VP OF CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR AAMCO AT THE EXECUTIVE OFFICES IN PA -- HE ALSO REITERATED THAT CHRYSLER IS THEIR NUMBER 1 REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED IN TO. WITH ALL OF THE CHRYSLER REPAIRS I'VE HEARD OF JUST IN THE BUFFALO AREA ALONE, NATIONALLY THEIR HAS TO BE THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS WHO HAVE INCURRED A MAJOR EXPENSE. PLEASE PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM AN ELDERLY MAN IN 7/2000 IT ONLY HAD 19,025 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT WAS IN SHOWROOM CONDITION. AROUND 21,000 MILES THE CAR STARTED TO HAVE HESITATION PROBLEMS AND I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. ONE LOCAL BUFFALO TRANSMISSION SHOP INDICATED THAT THE COMPUTERS OPERATING THE TRANSMISSIONS WERE BAD AND THEY'VE HAD TO SELL MANY OF THEM. THANK YOU AND I REALLY APPRECIATE AN INVESTIGATION.*AK

RECALL 98 V 184 000/FUEL LEAKAGE: FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM IS LEAKING FUEL FROM SEALING O-RINGS. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL DUE TO VIN. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER.*AK

THE FUEL RAIL IS A NON WEAR ITEM AND A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ITEM. THERE IS A SIMILAR RECALL ON RELATED COMPONENTS BUT DEALER SAID THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THAT RECALL. THIS TYPE OF FAILURE CAN LEAD TO ENGINE FIRE AT STARTUP OR WHILE RUNNING. MANUFACTURER SHUOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR COSTS.

FLUID IS LEAKING FROM HYDRAULIC UNIT, A PINT A DAY IS ADDED TO UNIT TO KEEP IT FROM DRYING OUT. CONSUMER WENT TO A DEALER IN TOWN, AND ONE DEALER STATED THAT FLUID WAS BEING OVER FILLED. SECOND DEALER CONFIRMED A LEAK, AND ORDERED THE PART FOR REPAIR. *AK *YH

KNOW DEFECT IN BOTH CONTROLLER AND SEAL FAILURE AT LOW TEMPERATURE ,JUSTN LIKE THE SPACE SHUTTLE. *AK

ORIGINAL PROBLEM WAS FAILURE TO SHIFT TO OVERDRIVE(WENT INTO LIMP-HOME CONFIGURATION) AFTER STOPPING IT DID SHIFT BUT EVENTUALLY FAILED TO SHIFT AT ALL. THIS OCUURRED ON A TRIP OUT OF STATE.*AK
