PROBLEM #1 - RAIN WATER ENTERING VEHICLE. WE LIVE IN SEATTLE, IT RAINS 50% OF THE YEAR. EVERYTIME IT RAINS, FOR THE LAST 3-4 YEARS, WATER ENTERS THE VEHICLE. WE'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A FACTORY AUTHORIZED WATER LEAK DETECTION COMPANY, AFTER 1-2 YEARS AND ABOUT $500 IN BILLS, THEY GAVE UP. THEY FOUND A NEW LEAK EVERYTIME WE BROUGHT THE CAR IN. AS OF LAST THURSDAY, 2/24/2000 , THEY FINALLY GAVE UP, SAID THEY COULD NOT JUSTIFY FINDING MORE LEAKS!! IN ALL THEY FOUND 6 LEAKS, NONE OF WHICH WERE FAILED SEALS OR OTHERWISE PARTS THAT WOULD WEAR OUT OVER TIME. ALL FOUND LEAKS WERE BODY WELDS AND OTHER FACTORY DEFECTS. WE'VE ALSO TAKEN THE CAR TO GLASS INSTALLATION STORES, ETC. NOBODY, SO FAR CAN DETECT WHERE ALL THE LEAKS ARE COMING FROM. WATER LEAK TECHNIQUES SAID THAT ALL OF THE LEAKS THEY FOUND WERE FACTORY DEFECTS. WHAT'S OUR NEXT STEP? WE JUST WANT A DRY CAR. OUR 2ND & 3RD PROBLEM MAY BE RELATED, AND HAVE BEEN OCCURING ALMOST SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. BASICALLY, THE CAR WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY. LIKE WHEN STARTING OUT AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT. THE NEXT PROBLEM, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ROUGHLY, USUALLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM, SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING INTO THE NEXT GEAR, ALMOST LIKE THE "BRAIN" DOESN'T TELL IT TO SHIFT. WE LIKE OUR MINI-VAN, WE ONLY HAVE ABOUT 45,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT. WE HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO REMEDY THE 3 PROBLEMS, CAN YOU HELP? THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE. IREAD OVER THE RECALL ITEMS FOR OTHER 1994 CHRYSLER MODELS, ONE RECALL SOUNDS SIMILAR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID# 94VO24000. *AK

TRANSMISSION UNDERWENT MAJOR REPAIR AT 59,653 MILES UNDER 7/70 WARRANTY. THIS TIME REPAIR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. LAST TIME THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLAM INTO GEAR AS IT WAS SHIFTING. THIS TIME THERE WAS A SUDDEN SHUDDER AND SMELL OF BURNING MATERIAL AND LOSS OF POWER WHICH NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT WESTOAKS CHRYSLER, 3839 AUTO MALL DRIVE, THOUSAND OAKS, CA, 1-800-748-6118. THEY ALSO REPAIRED THE VEHICLE IN FEB 1998 UNDER WARRANTY. THIS FAILURE WAS A SAFETY CONCERN TO ME AND MY FAMILY. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED I PLAN TO GO TO PLYMOUTH FOR PAYMENT OF THIS OUT-OF-WARRANTY REPAIR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FROM 1989-1997.

SINCE JULY 1999 MY MINI-VAN HAS BEEN STALLING AND LOOSING POWER SUDDENLY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN THE VAN 3 TIMES AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS EITHER STALLED OR LOST POWER IT HAS CREATED A HAZARD TO TRAFFIC. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FROM SEARCHING THE NTSA DATA BASE I NOTICED THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON MANY PLYMOUTH VOYAGERS. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET HURT IF THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT ADDRESES. THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE SENT THE NTSA. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR 4 MONTHS NOW AND AM NOT GETTING ANY COOPERATION FROM THE DEALER OR MANUFATURE.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH 2-SPOKE LUXURY WHEELS MANUFACTURED JULY 1992 THROUGH JUNE 1993; OR EQUIPPED WITH 4-SPOKE SPORT WHEELS MANUFACTURED FROM JULY 1992 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 1993. THE STEERING WHEEL ARMATURE STAMPING CAN CRACK AND SEPARATE FROM THE CENTER HUB ATTACHMENT TO THE STEERING COLUMN.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE STEERING WHEEL SEPARATES FROM THE CENTER HUB ATTACHMENT TO THE STEERING COLUMN, LOSS OF CONTROL CAN OCCUR INCREASING THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE STEERING WHEEL FOR CRACKS AND ANY WHEELS WITH CRACKS WILL BE REPLACED. ALL OTHER VEHICLES WILL HAVE A REINFORCEMENT PLATE INSTALLED TO PREVENT STEERING WHEEL SEPARATION IN THE EVENT CRACKING OCCURS.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS. THE BOLTS USED TO ATTACH THE STRUT TO THE BODY AND THE REAR LIFTGATE CAN ACCUMULATE FATIGUE DAMAGE IF THREE FACTORS COMBINE. IF THE BOLT IS LOOSE, THE GAS STRUT IS OVER-PRESSURIZED, AND THE FREQUENCY OF OPENING AND CLOSING CYCLES IS HIGHER THAN FOR THE AVERAGE CUSTOMER, THE BOLT CAN FAIL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: PERSONAL INJURY COULD OCCUR IF THE BOLTS BREAK ALLOWING THE LIFTGATE TO FALL SUDDENLY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR LOOSE FASTENERS, IF THE FASTENERS ARE LOOSE, THE STRUT (AND INTEGRAL BOLTS) WILL BE REPLACED. IF THE BOLT SHOWS EVIDENCE OF TORQUE, THE BOLT WILL BE REMOVED, LARGER WASHERS WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING WASHER AND THE BOLT WILL BE REINSTALLED AND HAND TIGHTENED TO THE TARGET TORQUED.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS. THE WIRING THAT INITIATES THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER AIR BAG COULD ELECTRICALLY SHORT CIRCUIT TO GROUND. A SHORT CIRCUIT TO GROUND THAT EXISTS IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION KEY TO THE "ON" OR "START" POSITION CAN CAUSE THE AIR BAG(S) TO INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: INADVERTENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT CAN INJURE A FRONT SEAT OCCUPANT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL PERFORM AN ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. ANY SHORT CIRCUITS IDENTIFIED IN EITHER THE DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INITIATOR WIRE CIRCUIT WILL BE REPAIRED.
WHEELS WITH MISFORMED LUG NUT SEATS WERE INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES. THIS CAUSES REDUCED NUT TO WHEEL CONTACT AREA AND LIMITS THE WHEEL SELF-CENTERING CAPABILITY DURING INSTALLATION. THIS RESULTS IN LOSS OF WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE RETENTION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: LOSS OF LUG NUT TORQUE RETENTION MAY LEAD TO WHEEL LUGFAILURE WHICH MAY CAUSE WHEEL SEPARATION AND AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: INSPECT THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY PLANT CODE; REPLACE WHEELS KNOWN TO HAVE THE PROBLEM AND INSTALL NEW LUG NUTS.

LIFTGATE LATCHES IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES HAVE FAILED IN LOW AND MODERATE SPEED IMPACTS RESULTING IN OCCUPANT EJECTIONS, INJURIES, AND FATALITIES.THERE ARE TWO FAILURE MODES ASSOCIATED WITH LATCH FAILURE: FORK BOLT-DETENT LEVER BYPASS, AND INERTIAL UNLATCHING.NHTSA ANALYSES OF CHRYSLER AND PEER MINIVANS TOOK THE FORM OF STATIC AND DYNAMIC CRASH TESTING, ENGINEERING EVALUATIONS, COMPLAINT AND FIELD ANALYSES, AND REAL WORLD DATA ANALYSES.A TECHNICAL REPORT DISCUSSING THESE ANALYSES CAN BE FOUND IN THE ENGINEERING ANALYSIS TECHNICAL REPORT IN THE PUBLIC VIEWING FILE.CHRYSLER HAS ADVISED NHTSA THAT IT WILL CONDUCT A CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE THE LATCHES ON ALL THE SUBJECT VEHICLES.THE CHRYSLER CAMPAIGN WILL CONSIST OF NOTIFICATION LETTERS TO ALL OWNERS; FREE REPLACEMENT OF ALL LATCHES WITH STRONGER, SAFER LATCHES REGARDLESS OF THE AGE OF THE MINIVANS; NATIONAL ADVERTISING TO PROMOTE CUSTOMER AWARENESS OF THE CAMPAIGN; QUARTERLY REPORTS REGARDING CAMPAIGN COMPLETION RATES; AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL MEASURES TO ENSURE A HIGH COMPLETION RATE, ABOVE AND BEYOND THE ACTIONS THAT NORMALLY WOULD BE TAKEN IN A FORMAL SAFETY RECALL.THESE INCLUDE FOLLOW UP WRITTEN AND TELEPHONIC NOTIFICATIONS TO OWNERS WHO DO NOT BRING THEIR VEHICLES IN FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION.NHTSA FIRMLY BELIEVES THAT THE CRASH PERFORMANCE OF THE LATCHES ON THESE MINIVANS RAISES SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS, AND THAT THE CAMPAIGN ADDRESSES THESE CONCERNS.THE CHRYSLER CORRECTIVE ACTION WILL INCREASE THE STRENGTH OF THE LIFTGATE LATCHES AND DECREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR INERTIAL UNLATCHING, THEREBY REDUCING THE RISK OF CRASH-RELATED OPENINGS OF THE LIFTGATE AND POSSIBLE OCCUPANT EJECTION THROUGH THE LIFTGATE OPENING.OWNERS OF CHRYSLER MINIVANS WILL GET A STRONGER, SAFER LATCH FREE OF CHARGE AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE TIME, WITHOUT THE NEED FOR FURTHER TECHNICAL INVESTIGATION AND COMPLEX AND TIME-CONSUMING LITIGATION WITH AN UNCERTAIN OUTCOME.BASED ON THE ABOVE, ODI IS CLOSING THIS INVESTIGATION.
