WE HAD TO REPLACE 2 TRANSMISSION TWICE IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS, DUE TO A PIN BREAKING IN THE TRANSMISSION, AND THEY DIDN'T REPLACE SEAL , THEY USED SILICONE INSTEAD. THE AIRCONDITIIONER HAS NEVER WORKED , IT WAS WINTER WHEN WE GOT IT AND TRUST THEM TO BE HONEST, THE FIRST DAY OF HOT WEATHER IT DID NOT WORK! THE LIGHTER AND HORN CANNOT BE USED TOGETHER, BECAUSE THEY BLOW FUSES, AND THEY ALSO KNEW ABOUT THAT, AND SAID THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT AND NEVER DID!!!!!!

MY WIFE USES THIS VEHICLE. ON A FAMILY TRIP IN APRIL I HEARD A RATTLING THAT SOUNDED LIKE A DOOR PARTIALLY OPENED BUT I COULD NOT LOCATE THE SOURCE. A COUPLE DAYS LATER I WENT TO SUPERMARKET AND TRIED TO OPEN THE REAR HATCH WITH MY KEY. THE REAR HATCH WOULD NOT OPEN. I USED THE ELECTRIC DOOR LATCH AND THE REAR HATCH OPENED. AT THIS TIME I NOTICED THE THREE MOUNTING BOLTS FOR THE LOCK MECHANISM WERE GONE. I PUT IN THREE METRIC BOLTS (SAE BOLTS WOULD NOT FIT IN THE PRESENT HOLES) BUT FOUND THEY LOOSENED OVER TIME. I FINALLY PUT IN 3 BOLTS WITH LOCK WASHERS AND DOUBLE NUTS TO PREVENT BACK OFF. I OBSERVED THAT THE METAL WAS TOO SOFT AND FATIGUED BECAUSE THE THREADS WERE NON-EXISTENT, WHICH MEANT IT USE AS A LOCK ASSEMBLY IS INCORRECT AND DANGEROUS. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN WHO RIDE IN THIS VAN AND I AM VERY CONCERNED. THIS UNIT WAS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL ON 4/23/96, RECALL #CFXG6405, AUTH CODE 3831, PERFORMED BY CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH OF PARAMUS NEW JERSEY, 234 ROUTE 4 EAST, PHONE 845-0701. CHRYSLER IS A VERY DIFFICULT COMPANY TO DEAL WITH. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NOT HELPFUL. I TRIED CALLING BUT THE LINE IS CONSTANTLY BUSY. THIS MATTER SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *AK

THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE FIRST OCCURRED AT 42,000 MILES IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY SAN FRANCISCO INTERSECTION. THE LATEST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE MERGING ONTO A FREEWAY, PUTTING SEVERAL VEHICLES AT RISK, INCLUDING OUR VAN FULL OF CHILDREN. THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET AS WELL AS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM A CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE INDICATES THIS IS A PREVASIVE PROBLEM.
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.
