I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CHRYSLER -- PEOPLE STOP ME IN MALLS, SUPERMARKETS AND ASK ME IF I'VE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AS THEY HAVE -- ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1990 EVERYONE I'VE SPOKEN TO THAT HAS HAD A CHRYSLER VAN, NEW YORKER, DYNASTY, ETC. HAS HAD MAJOR TRANSMISSIONS PROBLEMS AND/OR HAS HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. IN SPEAKING WITH MY LOCAL AAMCO TRANSMISSION REPS AND CONTINENTAL TRANSMISSION REP (A BUFFALO STORE) -- CHRYSLER CARS ARE THEIR NUMBER 1 REPAIR. I HAD OCCASION TO SPEAK WITH THE VP OF CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR AAMCO AT THE EXECUTIVE OFFICES IN PA -- HE ALSO REITERATED THAT CHRYSLER IS THEIR NUMBER 1 REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED IN TO. WITH ALL OF THE CHRYSLER REPAIRS I'VE HEARD OF JUST IN THE BUFFALO AREA ALONE, NATIONALLY THEIR HAS TO BE THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS WHO HAVE INCURRED A MAJOR EXPENSE. PLEASE PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM AN ELDERLY MAN IN 7/2000 IT ONLY HAD 19,025 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT WAS IN SHOWROOM CONDITION. AROUND 21,000 MILES THE CAR STARTED TO HAVE HESITATION PROBLEMS AND I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. ONE LOCAL BUFFALO TRANSMISSION SHOP INDICATED THAT THE COMPUTERS OPERATING THE TRANSMISSIONS WERE BAD AND THEY'VE HAD TO SELL MANY OF THEM. THANK YOU AND I REALLY APPRECIATE AN INVESTIGATION.*AK

Official recalls
399V215000 · Suspension:front:control Arm:lower Arm
Aug 9, 1999
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHING BRACKETS CAN CRACK DUE TO FATIGUE AND SEPARATE FROM THE ENGINE CRADLE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURS, THE TRANSMISSION HALF-SHAFT COULD PULL OUT OF THE TRANSAXLE AND RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REINFORCE THE ENGINE CRADLE AT THE POINT WHERE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHES TO IT.
98V184000 · Fuel System, Gasoline:fuel Injection System
Aug 6, 1998
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES BUILT WITH 3.5L ENGINES. THE FUEL INJECTION DELIVERY SYSTEM CAN LEAK FUEL FROM SOME OF THE SEALING O-RINGS OR FROM HAIR LINE CRACKS IN THE THERMOSET FUEL INJECTION RAIL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL RAIL O-RINGS AND REINFORCE THE OUTLET (PASSENGER) SIDE FUEL RAIL. VEHICLES SHOWING FUEL LEAKAGE ON THE OUTLET FUEL RAIL MUST HAVE THE OUTLET RAIL REPLACED WHICH INCLUDES CHANGING THE UPPER AND LOWER INJECTOR O-RINGS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS OR FROM A CRACKED FUEL LINE, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
96V099000 · Service Brakes, Hydraulic:antilock/traction Control/electronic Limited Slip
Jun 13, 1996
THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT CAN EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE BRAKE ACTUATOR PISTON SEAL WEAR CAUSING PUMP-MOTOR DETERIORATION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THE ABS FUNCTION COULD BE LOST AND REDUCED POWER ASSIST WOULD BE EXPERIENCED DURING VEHICLE BRAKING INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL TEST THE VEHICLE'S ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AND REPAIR THE VEHICLES IF NECESSARY. ALSO THE WARRANTY ON ALL ABS COMPONENTS WILL BE EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES (EXCEPT FOR THE BRAKE ACTUATOR PISTON ASSEMBLY AND THE PUMP-MOTOR ASSEMBLY WHICH WILL HAVE A LIFETIME COVERAGE). OWNERS WILL ALSO BE REIMBURSED FOR PREVIOUS ABS COMPONENT REPAIR COSTS.
