I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET CHRYSLER TO HONOR ITS RECALLS ON MY 1976 DODGE ASPEN FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. ONE RECALL IN PARTICULAR HAS TO DO WITH REPLACING THE FRONT END BRAKES LINES. LAST NIGHT MY BRAKES FAILED BECAUSE THE LINES ARE LEAKING FLUID. I TALKED TO SOMEONE LAST SEPTEMBER WHO SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING SINCE. I ORIGINALLY CONTACTED THEM IN DECEMBER OF 2005. THEY RESEARCHED THE RECALLS AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO GET FIXED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO LOOK INTO IT. THAT WAS OVER A YEAR AGO. CUSTOMER SERVICE AT THE CHRYSLER IS NOT ANSWERING MY E-MAILS. I AM LOSING MY PATIENCE WITH THIS. I NEED HELP. *JB
POSSIBLE FATIGUE FAILURE CAN OCCUR IN THE FRAME SUPPORT PLATES (FRONT SUSPENSION PIVOT BAR SUPPORT PLATE) THAT CONNECTS A PORTION OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION TO THE VEHICLE FRAME ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: THE DEALER WILL INSPECT SUPPORT PLATES FOR INDICATIONS OF FAILURE AND, IF NECESSARY, WILL REPLACE THE PLATES. ADDITIONAL SUPPORT BRACKETS WILL ALSO BE INSTALLED TO REINFORCE THE SUPPORT PLATE AT THE PIVOT BAR ATTACHMENTS.
ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE HOOD SECONDARY CATCH SYSTEM MAY BE MISALIGNED WHICH MAY CAUSE THE SECONDARY CATCH TO MALFUNCTION. CONSEQUENTLY, THE HOOD MAY NOT BE SECURELY LATCHED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: DEALER WILL ADJUST THE CATCH SYSTEM TO FULLY SECURE THE HOOD, WITHOUT CHARGE.
ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE CARBURETOR ACCELERATOR PUMP SEAL CAN BECOME DISTORTED DUE TO CONTACT WITH CERTAIN TYPES OF GASOLINE. NORMALLY, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, THE ACCELERATOR PUMP IS ACTIVATED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL GASOLINE REQUIRED FOR ACCELERATION. A DISTORTED SEAL HOWEVER, MAY PREVENT THE PUMP FROM DELIVERING THE PROPER AMOUNT OF FUEL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE CARBURETOR ACCELERATOR PUMP SEAL WITH A NEW SEAL HAVING IMPROVED DISTORTION RESISTANCE AND WILL ENSURE PROPER ADJUSTMENT. THIS WILL BE DONE FREE OF CHARGE.
ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, DAMAGE TO THE FRONT WHEEL BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM COULD OCCUR DUE TO FRONT WHEEL BRAKE LINE TUBE CORROSION. FRONT WHEEL BRAKE HOSES MAY BECOME BRITTLE AND CRACK DUE TO PROLONGED OPERATION IN COLD TEMPERATURES.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: THE DEALER WILL REPLACE BOTH FRONT HOSES IF FOUND NECESSARY AND IN ADDITION, WILL INSTALL A PLASTIC SHIELD BETWEEN THE BATTERY THERMO-GUARD AND THE TUBES TO PREVENT CORROSION.
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS". THE TIRE PRESSURE PLACARDS INCORRECTLY SPECIFY THE FRONT TIRE PRESSURE FOR MAXIMUM LOAD CONDITIONS. AS A RESULT, TIRES COULD FAIL DUE TO OVERLOADING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: THE OWNER WILL BE SENT THE CORRECT PLACARD AND HAS THE OPTION OF INSTALLING IT HIM/HERSELF OR HAVING THE DEALER INSTALL IT, FREE OF CHARGE.
