I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBULIT AT 53K MILE AND NOW AGAIN AT 85K, THIS IS UNCALLED FOR. THERE SHOULD BE SOME RECALL FOR THESE VERY DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS THAT CHRYSLER PUT OUT IN 1994. BY THE WAY BOTH TIMES IT HAS COSTED ME $1300 AND NOW$1421. *AK

THE COMPRESSOR FAILURE HAS OCCURRED IN ALL CHRYSLER PRODUCTS OF A PRIOR YEAR. IT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A DEFAULTED PART BY THE DEALER AND SEVERAL OTHER ASE CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS INCLUDING SEARS AND PEP BOYS. THESE REPAIR FACILITIES HAVE COMMENTED ON THE NUMBER OF REPLACEMENTS THEY HAVE HAD TO DO ON THE CHYRSLER PRODUCTS ON THE SAME PART DUE TO THE FAULTY PART. THE FAILURE OCCURS ON THE VEHICLE AT VARIOUS MILEAGE READINGS SOME EARLY AND SOME LATE MODEL CARS. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED AT THE MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE DEFECTIVE PART AND DECIDED NOT TO FIX IT BEFORE LEAVING THE MANUFACTURER BUSINESS.*AK

WHILE OPENING THE TAILGATE ON THE VEHICLE, MY DAUGHTER WAS PREPARING TO LOAD MERCHANDISE INTO THE REAR . WHILE SHE WAS UNDER THE OPENING TAILGATE A SUPPORT PIVOT SHEARED OFF AT THE BODY. THE TAILGATE CAME DOWN ON HER HEAD. THE SUPPORT WENT TO A FULLY EXTENDED POSITION. IT LODGED BETWEEN THE REAR INTERIOR PANEL AND THE REAR BODY WORK. ONCE MY DAUGHTER WAS OUT FROM UNDER THE TAILGATE, THE TAILGATE CLOSED. BUT BECAUSE THE SUPPORT WAS FULLY EXTENDED IT CONTINUED UP THROUGH THE INTERIOR OF THE VAN,PUT A HOLE IN THE INTERIOR ROOF PANEL AND THE END OF THE SUPPORT ABRAIDED WIRING ABOVE THE ROOF PANEL CAUSING THE FUSE FOR THE AIR BAGS AND THE REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER TO BLOW. AS A RESULT THE DASH MOUNTED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND OF COURSE THE REAR WIPER WAS INOP. I TOOK THE VAN INTO THE DEALER, BECAUSE I READ ON YOUR WEBSITE OF A RECALL PERTAINING TO THE LIFTGATE SUPPORTS. HE INFORMED ME THAT MY VAN WAS FIXED ONCE UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE AND THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO FOR ME. (HE DIDN'T EVEN GIVE ME THE TIME OF DAY TO LOOK AT WHAT HAD HAPPENED!) I REQUESTED THE PHONE # FOR CHRYSLER CONSUMER SERVICES, WHICH HE GAVE ME. CHRYSLER TOLD ME TO RE-CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT IF UPON INSPECTION THE DEALER FINDS THAT THE BROKEN PIVOT IS COVERED BY THE RECALL (#730) THEY WOULD FIX IT. OTHERWISE I.M LIABLE FOR THE REPAIRS. TO DATE , I HAVE RESCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER.

I PURCHASED THIS VAN IN FERUARY 1997. IT HAD 40,683 MILES ON IT. THE VAN DEVELOPED A SEVERE VIBRATION IN THE DRIVE TRAIN ON ACCELERATIION FROM A STOP AND WHEN ACCELERATING AT SPEED WITH PASSING GEAR AND WITHOUT PASSING GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION CASE WAS REPLACED ONCE (BROKEN CASE), REPLACED ONCE AND IS NOW IN SHOP FOR REPLACEMENT AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE WILL LOCK UP IN LOWER GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING MAKING FOR DANGEROUS OPERATION. DEALERS ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE CONFIRMED THIS PROBLEM FROM MANY OTHER PEOPLE AND TSBS. THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE A RECALL CONDITION ON ALL VANS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO FEEL THIS PROBLEM(VIBRATION) HAS CAUSED PREMATURE DAMAGE TO THE MAIN BEARINGS AND CONSEQUENT INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE. INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE

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.
