1994 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER Complaints

MY WIFE HAD JUST GOTTEN HOME FROM WORK, HAVING DRIVEN 17 MILES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS JUST LEAVING THE HOUSE AS SHE PULLED IN TO THE DRIVEWAY AND SHE REVERSED BACK ONTO THE STREET WHEN THE VEHICLE BROKE, LITERALLY. THE ENGINE CRADLE FRAME BROKE AND COLLASPED, BREAKING THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE PUSHING THE RIGHT TIRE UP AGAINST THE FENDER. THE VEHICLE STOPPED TOTALLY AND COULD NOT BE MOVED EXCEPT BY A TOW TRUCK. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON COORS BLVD JUST MINUTES EARLIER, THERES NO TELLING IF MY WIFE AND OTHERS WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY. IF THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT HIGH SPEED, WHO KNOWS WHAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE DONE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AT BUDGET CAR SALES IN ALBUQUERQUE AND TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALER AFTER THE MISHAP. THAT WAS THE REASON I DID NOT COMPLETE THE DEALER INFORMATION. *AK

VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. CONSUMER WAS REACHING INSIDE VEHICLE ATTEMPTING TO GRAB KEY OUT THE IGNITION AND HIT GEAR SHIFT, VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS, ROLLING OVERTOP OFF CONSUMER, AND CAUSING INJURIES. CONSUMER HAS YET TO CONTACT DEALER OR MANUFACTURER. *AK

DRIVER'S SEAT BELT BUCKLE IS INSERTED SO MUCH THAT IT IS UNABLE TO LATCH SEAT BELT. PASSENGER'S SEAT MOVES FROM FLOOR WHERE SEAT NOT IN PLACE. *AK THE BUCKLES WERE FIXED AS A RESULT OF A RCALL BUT THE PROBLEM STILL GOES ON. THE PASSENGER SEAT TRACKS WERE CHANGED BUT THE SEAT DOES NOT MOVE PROPERLY ON THE TRACKS.

I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. OUR CAR IS IN THE SHOP MORE THAN IT IS ON THE ROAD. AND NOW THERE IS A RATTLING NOISE WHEN WE START OUR VEHICLE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THE ENGINE IS GOING. WE HAVE HAD OUR VEHICLE TOWED AT LEAST 4 TIMES NOW. WE HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 1 YEAR NOW. WE HAVE PUT 2,000 - 3,000 INTO THIS VEHICLE ALREADY AND TO TOP IT OFF WE PURCHASED THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY WHICH COVERED US FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. PURCHASE PRICE PLUS WARRANTY PLUS ALL THE PROBLEMS = $13,300.

HOOD ASSEMBLY DOES NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION WITHOUT WARNING. HOOD FALLS DOWN WHICH COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURIES. CONSUMER NOTED PROBLEM MAY BE LINKED TO THE GAS FILLED CYLINDERS USED TO HOLD THE HOOD IN RAISED POSITION . *AK

CONSUMER STILL EXPERIENCES PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR COIL PROBLEM, AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP FROM THE DEALER WITH THIS PROBLEM FIXED, THE VEHICLE LOCKED UP AND RAN HOT. *SLC

THE HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION FACTOR IS EXTREMELY POOR WITH THIS CAR. THE BOLTS TO REMOVE THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY TO REPLACE LAMPS IS STRIPPED OUT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLACE LAMPS AS BUILT.
