1994 Chrysler Lebaron

CAR HAD ABOUT 14,000 MILES ON IT WHEN PURCHASED FROM THE DEALER WHO SOLD IT ORIGINALLY. IT HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED! DOOR FAILED, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO EXIT, WITHOUT CRAWLING OVER THE ARMREST TO EXIT FROM PASSENGER SIDE, OR LOWERING THE TOP TO EXIT OUT THE WINDOW. TRAVIS DISAVOWED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL, SO REPAIRS WERE UNDERTAKEN AFTER COMPLETION OF MOVE OUT-OF-STATE, AT MCLAIN'S BODY SHOP WHERE HE POINTED OUT FAILED HINGE AND NOTED THAT THAT DESIGN FLAW IS "COMMON" WITH THIS MODEL. REPAIRS, EVEN WITH USED DOOR WERE $1690.01. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED TWICE, UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE SECOND TIME, AT ABOUT 99,500 MILES. THE WINDOW MOTOR WILL NOT LOWER THE WINDOW.

OUR AUTO REPAIR MECHANIC REPLACED THE TAG AXEL ON OUR 1994 LEBARON. HE ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS TWO OTHER LEBARONS IN THE SAME AREA WHERE I LIVE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I FIND THIS A LITTLE UNUSAL. THE AUTO REPAIR MECHANIC ALSO PLACED A CALL TO A CHRYSLER PARTS DEALER TO INQUIRE THE PRICE OF A NEW LAG AXEL. BEFORE THE MECHANIC COULD STATE THE MODEL OF CAR THE PARTS DEALER TOLD THE MECHANIC WHAT MODEL AND TYPE OF CAR. THE BACK OF THE CAR WAS MAKING A NOISE,THE LAG AXEL WAS CRACKED. IF LEFT UNDETECTED OR REPAIRED IT COULD OF CAUSED SERIOUS INJURYS.AS I L

BOTH DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE DOORS HAVE SEPARATED FROM BODY OF VEHICLE ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, AND HAVE BEEN WELDED BACK ON. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED, 1 DOOR REPAIRED BY DEALER, OTHER DOOR AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS--INTERNAL PART BROKE LOOSE AND FLEW THROUGH THE HOUSING. REPAIRED AT OWNER'S COST. *AK *ML

DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDOW WOULD NOT GO DOWN. THERE WAS WATER IN THE FRONT AND REAR FLOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR ON THE WINDOW BECAUSE THE DRAINAGE HOLE WAS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE WATER TO DRAIN OUT AND THERE WERE GALLONS OF WATER BEING RETAINED IN THE REAR PANEL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM IN OTHER YEARS BUT NOT IN MINE AND THAT IT HAD TOO MANY MILES FOR CHRYSLER TO DO ANYTHING. I FEEL IF THE DESIGN WAS NOT POOR THE WATER WOULD HAVE DRAINED OUT AND I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY $314 FOR A NEW MOTOR ON THE WINDOW.
