SUBJECT DEALER DIAGNOSED (SERVICE ENGINE SOON) LIGHT CAME ON DURING MAY 2001, TOOK TO VOYLES CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH TO GET ENGINE SERVICED AND TECHNICIAN ADVISED THERE WAS AN EVAPORATIVE EMMISSION LEAK AT THE GAS TANK, THAT A SEAL WAS BAD AND THAT THE TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $900.00, IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE HEARD REPORTS OF A POSSIBLE RECALL ON THIS DEFECT AND I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THIS AS A POSSIBLE COVERED PROBLEM. WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK, I CAN'T FILL OVER 3/4 TANK BECAUSE OF THE SMELL OF RAW GASOLINE IN THE INTERIOR. I'M AFRAID THAT IT IS AN ACCIDENT AWAITING TO HAPPEN AND I WANT TO GO ON RECORD THAT I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES.I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND I DON'T KNOW IF CHRYSLER HAS A RECORD OF THIS TRANSACTION. OH, BY THE WAY VOYLES REPORTED ON MY SERVICE RECORD THAT THE PARTS HAD BEEN ORDERED BUT AFTER 2 WEEKS I CALLED AND THEIR SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THEY HAD DROPPED THE BALL AND DIDN'T SEND THE ORDER IN. THATS WHEN I THOUGHT I WOULD START CHECKING FOR RECALLS. THE ODOR IS MUCH MORE DISTINCT NOW AND IT NEEDS PROMPT ATTENTION. PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS IS COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.

ON APPROXIMATELY 10/15/2001 WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY, I NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. AT THAT SAME TIME, I TRIED TO USE THE HORN TO LET SOMEONE KNOW THAT I WAS THERE TO PICK THEM UP. THE HORN DID NOT WORK. SINCE I DID NOT WANT TO PAY THE $70 FEE TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP "DIAGNOSE" THE PROBLEM (WITHOUT HAVING ANY OF THAT MONEY GO TOWARDS THE ACTUAL PAYMENT OF THE REPAIR), I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO MY MECHANIC. HE SAID THAT HE WOULD NOT WORK ON ANY COMPONENT RELATED TO THE AIR BAG BECAUSE OF THE HIGH COST OF REPLACING THE AIR BAG IN THE EVENT IT ACCIDENTALLY DEPLOYED. HE ALSO SAID THAT SINCE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON, IT COULD EITHER NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN I NEEDED IT, OR THAT IT COULD DEPLOY WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND DID NOT NEED IT. HE CONSIDERED IT A SAFETY ISSUE. HE RECOMMENDED TAKING IT TO THE DEALER. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THE PART IN QUESTION IS A CLOCKSPRING WIRING HARNESS AND THAT 124,511 VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT REPLACED BY CHRYLSER. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, A RECALL ISSUE AND AN ECONOMIC ISSUE. IF CHRYSLER CHARGES $70 PER DIAGNOSIS AND $250 FOR EACH REPAIR OF THE 124,511 DEFECTIVE CLOCKSPRING WIRING HARNESS/DESIGN FLAWS, THAT EQUALS ABOUT $40 MILLION. HOW MUCH PROFIT IS CHRYSLER MAKING ON REPAIRING THEIR OWN SAFETY RELATED DESIGN FLAW AND HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GETTING INJURED BECAUSE A RECALL IS NOT BEING ISSUED ON THIS COMPONENT. *AK

Air Bags
AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED DUE TO A MALFUNCTION WITHIN CLOCK SPRING.*AK*SLC
ON CERTAIN MINI VANS, THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY MAY HAVE BEEN WOUND INCORRECTLY DURING THE VEHICLE ASSEMBLY PROCESS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION WILL MANIFEST ITSELF THROUGH ILLUMINATION OF THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP, AND COULD EVENTUALLY RESULT IN A DRIVER'S AIR BAG OPEN CIRCUIT, IF THE PART IS NOT REPLACED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY ON ALL VEHICLES WITH 70,000 MILES OR LESS. AN EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY WILL ALSO BE PLACED ON THIS COMPONENT FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL ALSO REIMBURSE OWNERS WHO HAVE PAID TO HAVE THE CLOCKSPRING REPLACED ON THEIR VEHICLES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN NOVEMBER 18, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS BUILT WITH 3.3L AND 3.8L ENGINES HAVE FUEL RAILS WITH NITROLE RUBBER O-RING SEALS THAT CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME. FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE UNDERHOOD FUEL INJECTION FUEL RAIL COULD RESULT, INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A VEHICLE FIRE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SEAL ON THE VEHICLE FUEL RAILS TO PREVENT EXTERNAL LEAKAGE OF FUEL FROM THE FUEL RAIL CROSSOVER TUBE, SHOULD THE EXISTING O-RINGS CONTINUE TO DEGRADE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JANUARY 25, 2002. DUE TO THE LARGE QUANTITY OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THIS CAMPAIGN, THE OWNER NOTIFICATION WILL BE PHASED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH INTEGRATED CHILD SEATS. THE SHOULDER HARNESS RESTRAINT ON THE INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT CAN BECOME DIFFICULT TO EXTRACT WHEN THE SAFETY BELT LATCH PLATE BECOMES CONTAMINATED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CAN CAUSE DIFFICULTY IN RELEASING A CHILD FROM THE RESTRAINT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL CLEAN THE LATCH MECHANISM. AN EXTENDER WILL BE ADDED TO THE EMERGENCY RELEASE ANCHOR FOR THE CHILD SEAT SAFETY BELTS SO THAT THE RELEASE CLIPS ARE MORE VISIBLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO THE OPERATOR IN THE EVENT THAT THE RETRACTOR MECHANISM CAN NOT BE UNLOCKED. IN ADDITION, AN INSTRUCTIONAL OWNER'S MANUAL SUPPLEMENT CARD WILL BE PROVIDED.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER MINIVANS EQUIPPED WITH P215/65R15 GOODYEAR CONQUEST TIRES MOUNTED ON STEEL WHEEL. THE TIRES CAN EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN AIR PRESSURE LOSS WITHOUT WARNING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: SUDDEN TIRE FAILURE COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF DRIVER CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE TIRES THAT WERE MOUNTED ON STEEL WHEELS.
