1994 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER Complaints

THERE IS A LEAKAGE COMING FROM EXHAUST SYSTEM WHICH IS CAUSING OIL TO LEAK ONTO THE ENGINE. *AK

DOOR SEAL DEFECT PREVENTED OPENING OF DOOR, INDIRECTLY CAUSING SAFETY HAZARD, SINCE MY CHILD WAS REPEATEDLY FORCED TO EXIT CAR ON DRIVERS SIDE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SEVERAL TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS OVER SEVERAL YEARS HAVE REFERRED TO THIS PROBLEM BUT DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE DOOR SEAL WITHOUT CHARGE. I BELIEVE THAT A DOOR STUCK SHUT IS INDEED A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS SUCH. NO OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED HAVE EVER HAD THIS PROBLEM, EVEN AT OLDER AGES. THIS DESIGN AND MATERIALS DEFECT IS AN INDIRECT SAFETY HAZARD BUT SHOULD BE STILL CONSIDERED A LEGITIMATE ONE NONETHELESS. I PAID $300 TO HAVE THE PASADENA CHRYSLER DEALER FIX THIS PROBLEM AND BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. BEATRICE HIRANO, MY CORRECT ZIP CODE IS 91770-NO WAY TO MODIFY THE DATA WITHOUT ERASING THE COMMENTS. YOU SHOULD FIX THAT ON YOUR SITE.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE INTO THE GARAGE. BEFORE REACHING GARAGE, FRONT STRUCTURE FRAME, SUPPORTING THE TRANSMISSION & WHEELS, HAD SNAPPED. THIS CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO DROP SOME & THE WHEELS TO FALL OFF. *AK

THE RIGHT STEERING TIE ROD CAN RUBBED THOUGH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS, CAUSING A SHORT CIRCUIT. VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 94V024000. WHEN CAR IS LEFT IN PARK AND LATER TURNED BACK ON, IT STARTS IN REVERSE. THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT FOUND, BUT THE STEERING COLUMN IGNITION ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. *AK *ML

TRANSMISSION HAS ALWAYS SHIFTED VERY ROUGHLY, BECOMING MUCH WORSE WITH AGE. FOUR VISITS TO DEALER NEVER GOT THE PROBLEM FIXED. *AK

MY WIFE WAS ON HER WAY BACK FROM LA. WHEN THE FIRE STARTED IN THE HOOD. LATER WE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE "O" RING FAILURE. I AM WONDERING IF YOU COULD DEVELOP A CAD PROGRAM TO SHOW HOW A CAR COULD CATCH ON FIRE AND TOTAL A VEHICLE. *AK

MAJOR ENGINE REPAIRS WERE DONE, AND VARIOUS PARTS, SUCH AS CAMSHAFT/PISTON RINGS/VALVES, GASKETS, ETC., WERE REPLACED BY DEALER. AT 55,000 MILES, ENGINE HEAD GASKETS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. DEALER/MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND REPAIRS WOULD BE AT CONSUMER'S COST. CAN NHTSA HELP OR PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *AK

CONSUMER HEARD RATTLING IN THE REAR END. AS HE DROVE MORE AND MORE, AND WENT UNDER VEHICLE WHERE BOLT CONNECTS TO THE PIVOT POINT FOR THE TRAILING ARM, HE DISCOVERED BOLT WAS STICKING OUT ABOUT 2INCHES, AND THAT WAS CAUSING THE NOISE. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING VEHICLE STARTED MAKING NOISES, AND UPON CROSSING RAIL ROAD TRACK VEHICLE STALLED. CONSUMER TRIED TO RESTART VEHICLE AND ENGINE WOULD NOT START. BY THEN THE TRAIN WAS COMING AN RAN INTO TO VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 44700 MILES AND FAILED AGAIN AT LESS THAN 55,000 MILES. *AK
