1994 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER Complaints

ON 18 SEP 2000, TOOK MY CAR DOWN TO THE DEALER UPON RECEIPT OF RECALL # 883, "DRIVERS POWER SEAT". THE DRIVER'S SEAT DOES NOT GO BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT PIVOTING SIDEWAYS WITH THE SWITCH. THE BACK OF THE SEAT UPON LEANING BACK GOES TOWARDS THE REAR. UPON TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, THEY STATED THE SEAT TRACK WAS NOT COVERED UN DER THE RECALL AND THEY WROTE THE PART UP FOR $500.00 AND LABOR $110.00. HOWEVER, THE RECALL NOTICE STATES IF THE SEAT ADJUSTER PIVOT BRACKETS AND SEAT TRACKS IS THE PROBLEM, THEN THE DEALER WILL REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE (PARTS AND LABOR). I AM VERY UPSET THAT I HAVE RECEIVED LESS THAN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND MYSELF AND FAMILY COULD BE IN DANGER WITH THE SEAT NOT BEING STABLE. DEALER NEEDS TO BE CONTACTED TO COMPLY WITH RECALL #883.

WHILE DRIVING CAR , SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT PICK UP SPEED PROPERLY. ALSO WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL IT SHAKES THE ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL & THE CAR FEELS LIKE THE FRONT END WILL FALL APART. *AK

ABS LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. PEDAL WILL START TO PULSATE WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. SOMETIMES WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON ABS SYSTEM FEELS LIKE IT IS BEING DRAINED.. DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. DEALER DID TRY TO SAY THAT BRAKES WERE METAL TO METAL VIBRATION. *AK

BOLTS THAT HOLD THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO VEHICLE ARE UNABLE TO BE REMOVED. HEAD LIGHT CAN NOT BE REMOVED. BOLT IS SECURED BY METAL ANCORE IN PLACTIC FRAME. ANCORE IS TURNING IN THE PLASTIC. CAUSES A SAFTY HAZARD BY BEING UNABLE TO REPLACE BURNED OUT HEADLIGHTS..

WITH THE FUEL LEAK WE SMELLED A LITE FUEL ODER AT FIRST WHEN WE STARTED THE CAR. THE ODER GOT STRONGER BY THE END OF THE MONTH. WE RECIVED A RECALL NOTICE SHORTLY AFTER . WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR ON 4/7/99 FOR THE RECALL & BC THE TIRES WOBBLED & SHOOK THE CAR AT 30-45 MPH. THEY FOUND THE LEFT INNER TIE ROD BRUSHINHS WERE WORN & TIRE ROD FLOPPING- THEY REPLACED THE TIRE ROD 7 LEFT TOE SPECS. THEY ALSO FOUND THE TRANSMISSION OIL LEAKING FROM THE COOLER HOSE.--ON 11/22/99 I WAS REVERSING AT 1 OR 2 MPH FROM A PARKING SPACE & THEN AS I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN FORWARD THERE WAS A VIOLENT JERKING ,& SHAKING BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE ANYWHERE AT ALL. I GOT OUT TO LOOK & THERE WAS WHEEL BERRINGS & THICK GREASE ALL OVER THE PARKING LOT. MY CAR WAS TOWED THE NEXT DAY TO AN AUTO MECH SHOP & REPARS WERE DONE. SHORTLY AFTER THAT WE RECIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAD REPAIRED. WE ARE STILL TRYING TO GET REIMBURSED FROM CHRYSLER CORP. FOR THAT INCIDENT.
