THE MOOG SPEC ON THIS INNER DIAMETER IS 0.813" WHEREAS THE CONI SEAL PART IS 0.825". THE PART NUMBER IS XK791. *TR

THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED THREE TIMES ON 4/15/08. THE VEHICLE IS A PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER, 1993. I ALMOST HIT A CAR THAT WAS TURNING IN FRONT OF ME. THEN THE ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASH BOARD. I BARELY MADE IT HOME WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING AND PARKED MY CAR IN THE GARAGE. WHEN I WENT OUT A FEW MINUTES LATER TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC NEARBY, THE BRAKE PEDAL DROPPED WHEN I TURNED THE KEY TO START THE CAR. THE BRAKES WERE MUSHY UNTIL I GOT IT TO THE MECHANIC. HE CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ABS SYSTEM AND THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE BYERS CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP NOW HAS THE CAR AND IS CLAIMING THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE ABS UNTIL THEY CAN. I DO NOT WANT TO KILL MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE WITH A BRAKING SYSTEM THAT MAY FAIL AT ANY TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1996 CHRYSLER VOYAGER. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE DEFOGGER FAILED TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE DRIVER HAD TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO CLEAN THE WINDOWS. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT AND THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS REPLACED ON FIVE OCCASIONS.

METAL FATIGUE-8 INCH CRACK HAS BEEN FOUND BY ME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHERE THE MCPHERSON STRUT IS CONNECTED TO THE BODY FENDER MOUNTING AREA. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A FRONT ACCIDENT AND IS GARAGE KEPT. I HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. IF THIS CRACK CONTINUES THIS CAR WILL NO LONGER FUNCTION AND HAVE TO BE JUNKED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A CHRYSLER MANUFACTURING DEFECT. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE COMPLETELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS REPAIR OR ALTERNATE SOLUTION PROVIDED TO ME. *TR

CHRYSLER DESIGNED THE POWER DISTRIBUTION BLOCK COVER TO HOLD WATER AND RETAIN MOISTURE. THIS CAUSES THE CONNECTIONS TO CORRODE AND FAIL LEADING TO FAILURE OF CRITICAL, ELECTRICALLY-OPERATED, SAFETY SYSTEMS INCLUDING THE AIRBAG SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE ERROR AND REDESIGNED THE POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX. HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT RECALL AND OFFER TO REPLACE THE FAILED COMPONENT. *TR
