1994 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER Complaints

DRIVERS SIDE FRONT SEAT BELT RETRACTOR WILL NOT RELEASE SO THAT SEAT BELT COULD BE BUCKLED.*AK

THIS IS INTERROGATIVE. MY WIFE JOINED AN ACCIDENT IN PROGRESS (NO. 3 OF 3 VEHICLES) BECASUE SHE COULDN'T STOP IN TIME. SHE WAS AT 35 MPH STEADY, SAID SHE HAD APPLIED FULL BRAKING. THE NYER WAS PITCHED DOWN WHEN IT CONTACTED THE BUMPER OF A S-10 PICKUP TRUCK. WE HAVE SHEET METAL DAMAGE TO THE HOOD, LEFT FENDER AND EVERYTHING ABOVE THE BUMPER LINE, INCLUDING AC COIL, RADIATOR, FAN, ETC. SHE WAS UNINJURED. NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE SYSTEM CHECK AT ENGINE START HAS ALWAYS BEEN EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE OPERATOR'S HANDBOOK. MY QUESTION IS, SHOULDN'T THE AIRBAGS HAVE DEPLOYED? IF THEY SHOULD HAVE, WHY DIDN'T THEY AND HOW DO I INSURE THE SYSTEM IS OPERATIONAL BEFORE I RETURN THE CAR TO SERVICE?

DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF VEHICLE ENGINE WILL STALL UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED. DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EXAMINED VEHICLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED BY RECALL 94V024000 DUE TO VIN. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / ATTACHMENTS.*AK

WITH ONLY 57,250 MILES, AND A WELL-CARED FOR CAR, I THINK THIS FAILURE IS VERY PREMATURE & EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. I HAD A SEVEN YEAR SERVICE EXTENSION (70,000 MILES) TO NO AVAIL! NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

LOWER CONTROL ARM BRACKETS FIXED IN RECALL BUT IT MADE THE SEAT MOTOR BREAK. *AK

RECALL 98V184000 REPAIRED OVER A YEAR AGO. HOWEVER, HE NOTICED FUEL LEAKING FROM ENGINE. THE CONSUMER HAS YET TO TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP TO EXAMINE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

THE RIGHT SIDE FRAME MEMBER, WHERE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHES BROKE AWAY CAUSING THE TIRE AND STRUT ASSEMBLY TO GO INTO THE FENDER, AND PULLED THE CV JOINT APART AT THE TRANSMISSION RENDERING THE CAR UNDRIVABLE, AND UNMOVABLE. I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE WITH THE WHEEL TURNED TO THE LEFT IN THE RAIN WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE CAR CAME TO A STOP, WHILE BANGING CONTINUED. THEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND TOOK A LOOK, AND SAW THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE INTO THE FENDER AND THE BOTTOM STICKING WAY OUT. IT COULD NOT BE TOWED ON A STANDARD WHEEL KIFT TOW TRUCK.

WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT ANY INDICATION. PLEASE PROVIED FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

VEHICLE WAS SPUTTERING AND MOVING VERY SLOWLY. TOWED TO MECHANIC, AND THEY SAID IT WAS ENGINE, AND IT HAD A CRACK IN THE BLOCK.*AK*JB

I' HAVE HAD 4 TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE. IN EACH CASE THE TRASMISSION HAS HAD A TORQUE CONVERTEER FAILURE LEAVING THE VEHICLE WHTI TWO GEARS, FIRST AND REVERSE. THE LAST FAILURE HAPPENED IN THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MPH. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF CHRYSLER OWNERS WITH 1993-1999 VEHICLES EQUIPED WITH THIS TRANSMISSION.
