DODGE MIRADA Recalls

Sep 22, 1981 – THE AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL SWITCH MAY STICK IN THE "RESUME" POSITION RESTRICTING RETURN MOVEMENT. THIS WILL NOT ALLOW THE NORMAL BRAKE PEDAL OPERATION TO DEACTIVATE THE SYSTEM.

May 05, 1981 – ENGINE MAY LOSE POWER OR STALL DUE TO CARBURETOR FLOODING. THIS IS CAUSED BY A POOR ELECTRICAL GROUND ON THE CARBURETOR FUEL BOWL VENT SOLENOID. VEHICLES MAY ALSO HAVE DRIVEABILITY PROBLEMS WHILE THE ENGINE IS WARMING UP IN COLD WEATHER. THESE PROBLEMS INCLUDE ENGINE MISSING, SAGS, AND HESITATION. THIS IS CAUSED BY A STICKING CARBURETOR OXYGEN FEEDBACK SOLENOID.

May 02, 1980 – VEHICLES MAY NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT". ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE FRONT PARK AND TURN SIGNAL LAMPS MAY CONTAIN INCORRECT LAMP BULB SOCKET ASSEMBLIES. ENGINEERING TESTING DETERMINED THAT THESE LAMPS DO NOT PRODUCE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF LIGHT.

Oct 23, 1979 – INCREASED FRICTION EXPERIENCED IN OPERATION OR SERVICING OF THE SYSTEM MAY RESULT IN A TOTAL FRICTION LEVEL EXCEEDING THE FORCE CAPABILITY OF THE THROTTLE RETURN SPRINGS. THIS MAY PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING PROPERLY TO A CLOSED POSITION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED.

Oct 22, 1979 – THE DEFECT INVOLVES THE POTENTIAL FOR EXHAUST GAS (CONTAINING CARBON MONOXIDE) ENTRY INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHICH CAN OCCUR AS A RESULT OF IMPROPERLY RETAINED PLASTIC SEALING PLUGS IN THE REAR QUARTER PANEL/TRUNK AREA OF THE VEHICLE. CARBON MONOXIDE IS A TOXIC GAS WHICH IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITY AND EXPOSURE TIME IS POTENTIALLY LETHAL.
