  • Recall 41952 [USA]: Either circumstance may result in the vehicle rolling away without warning.
    On certain passenger vehicles, the floor shifter ignition-park interlock may fail and allow the shifter to be moved out of the park position with the key removed. An inoperative interlock may also allow the key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the park position.
    dealers will install a new load-limiting push rod into the floor shifter lever of the affected vehicles. Owner notification began on june 14, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
    daimlerchrysler recall no. C45.Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

  • Recall 8829 [USA]: If this occurs, the transmission half-shaft could pull out of the transaxle and result in loss of power.
    Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The lower control arm attaching brackets can crack due to fatigue and separate from the engine cradle.
    dealers will reinforce the engine cradle at the point where the lower control arm attaches to it.
    owner notification began february 7, 2000. 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 1-800-992-1997. Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

  • Recall 14251 [USA]: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
    Vehicle description: passenger vehicles built with 3.5l engines. The fuel injection delivery system can leak fuel from some of the sealing o-rings or from hair line cracks in the thermoset fuel injection rail.
    dealers will replace the fuel rail o-rings and reinforce the outlet (passenger) side fuel rail. Vehicles showing fuel leakage on the outlet fuel rail must have the outlet rail replaced which includes changing the upper and lower injector o-rings. However, if a vehicle is leaking fuel from the o-rings or from a cracked fuel line, the vehicle should be taken into a dealer to have this repaired as soon as possible.
    owner notification began during january 1999. 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 chrysler at 1-800-992-1997.Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

  • Recall 11076 [USA]: In the presence of an ignition source, fuel leakage in the engine compartment could result in a fire.
    Vehicle description: passenger vehicles built with 3.3l engines. The 'o-rings' used to seal the interface of the fuel injector rail supply, return and cross over tubes are not as robust as those used in later model years. Deterioration of the 'o-rings' can cause fuel leakage.
    dealers will replace the engine fuel rail.
    owner notification began october 26, 1998. 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 chrysler at 1-800-992-1997. Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

  • Recall 2004003 [Canada]: Other
    On certain vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission and a floor-mounted shifter, the ignition-park interlock may become defeated and allow the shifter to be moved out of the park position with the key removed. An inoperative interlock may also allow the key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the park position. This may result in the vehicle rolling away without warning. Correction: dealer will inspect the function of the ignition-park interlock system. Vehicles found with functional interlock systems will have a load-limiting push rod installed into the floor shifter lever. Vehicles with a non-functional ignition-park interlock system will have the shifter assembly replaced.

  • Recall 1999159 [Canada]: Suspension
    On certain vehicles, the lower control arm attaching brackets may crack due to fatigue and cause the lower control arm to separate from the engine cradle. If this occurs, the transmission half-shaft may pull out of the transaxle and result in a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a motor vehicle accident. Correction: engine cradle will be reinforced at the point of attachment to the lower control arm.

  • Recall 1998125 [Canada]: Fuel supply
    The "nitrile" rubber compound "o-rings" used to seal the interface of the fuel injector rail supply, return and cross over tubes may degrade and allow fuel to leak into the engine compartment. This could result in an engine compartment fire. Correction: the engine fuel rail will be replaced with a rail that contains the 1994 style fluorocarbon ""o-rings" at the fuel supply, return and cross over tubes.

  • Recall 1998167 [Canada]: Fuel supply
    Note: vehicles equipped with 3.5 litre engine. The fuel injection delivery system may leak fuel from some of the sealing "o-rings" or from hairline cracks in the thermoplastic fuel injection rail. In the presence of an ignition source such a condition could result in a fire. Correction: the nitrile rubber "o-rings" will be replaced with "o-rings" made of an improved material. The fuel rail will also be evaluated and replaced as required.

Known Recall Investigations
  • Fuel rail, brake fluid, chassis investigation as of 20041013

    On september 5, 2004, mr. Robert galenty of iselin, nj, petitioned the agency to conduct defect investigations of certain model year (my) 1993-1997 vehicles produced by daimlerchrysler corporation.His petition identified three issues of concern: 1) fuel leaking from the fuel injector rails; 2) brake fluid contamination resulting in brake failure; and 3) susceptibility of the vehicle frame to damage while the vehicle is being towed.Mr. Galanty alleged that his 1996 dodge intrepid had each of these three problems.Concerning fuel rail leakage, daimlerchrysler commenced a recall (98v-184) of approximately 722,600 vehicles to address engine fuel rail leaks that could lead to a fire, including those vehicles cited in the petition and the petitioners 1996 dodge intrepid.On october 7, 1998, nhtsa opened a recall query investigation (rq98-018) to evaluate the adequacy of the recall remedy.That investigation was closed on july 8, 2002 without requiring further action by daimlerchrysler.Very recently, on june 9, 2004, nhtsa denied a petition (rp04-001) to reopen rq98-018 after finding that there was no new information that would indicate any basis for reopening it.This is still the current position of nhtsa on this issue.Concerning brake fluid contamination and frame alignment, a review of nhtsas database shows no other complaints on either one of these issues on the vehicles cited in the petition.

  • Auto trans ignition-park interlock investigation as of 20030717

    The manufacturer reports above are based on daimlerchrysler¿s (dc) analysis of model year (my) 1998 (population = 356,384) and 1999 (population = 486,948) ja, jx and lh family subject vehicle data (earlier mys excluded).The population number includes all mys.The precise number of duplicates between odi and dc reports cannot be determined due to missing or incomplete information.The fatality incident involved an elderly person who attempted to stop a roll away vehicle and received fatal injuries.Odi also gathered information on my 1997-99 prowler vehicles in this investigation. The prowler vehicles were manufactured with a different design shifter mechanism (the shift lever is shorter).There are no complaints of prowler interlock failure in odi¿s database, and dc has received no reports either.The prowler is excluded from the recall scope.The investigation involved a condition where the interlock system could fail (or be made inoperative by the operator) during vehicle use, possibly inadvertently.The interlock system is required under fmvss 114.With the transmission in the park position and the ignition key off, the combined action of pressing the shift button and pulling the shift lever rearward may result in the operator overcoming the interlock system and cause the mechanical linkage of the system to disconnect.When this occurs, there is no overt indication to an operator that the system is defeated, and an increased risk of vehicle roll-away exists.Under recall 04v021, dc will replace damaged shift mechanisms, and will install on all vehicles a device which inhibits the operator¿s ability to overcome the interlock and defeat the system.Beginning with my 2000, dc incorporated a brake and transmission shifter interlock (btsi) system into the subject vehicles.Introduction of btsi involved design changes to the shift mechanism, one of which resulted in reduced mechanical advantage (rma) of the shift button.The rma shifter requires increased forces to overcome the interlock system, making the shifter less susceptible to damage.

  • Steering column separation investigation as of 20030507

    Mr. Larry a. Sackey submitted a petition to the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) by letter dated april 18, 2003, requesting that nhtsafurther investigate the defective collapsible steering shaft system on 1987-1995 vehicles manufactured by the daimlerchrysler corporation.In part because of 49 cfr ? 30120(g), nhtsa has decided to limit the scope of the petition vehicles to 1993-1995 models, excluding the 1993 jeep grand cherokee and 1994-1995 dodge ram series trucks that were recalled (93v210 & 96v230) for steering column failure.If the analysis of these vehicles had identified a potential problem, the scope could have been expanded in an investigation.A review of odis data base shows no recent complaints and a lack of a complaint trend concerning the subject issue on the subject vehicles as a whole or by individual models.Therefore, the petition is denied.For details, see federal register notice volume 68, no. 130, july 8, 2003.

1993 chrysler concorde - 3.3 liter v6 factory installed options: power windows power locks power trunk release a/c cruise control anti-lock brakes (traction control option not installed) (power radio antenna not installed) (optional transmission cooler radiator installed) (all factory recalls were completed on this particular car) current ongoing issues with car: 1) horn randomly goes off in warmer weather (80 f +) due to possible steering wheel construction issues or computer system intermittent issue or wiring harness issue. 2) electric trunk door opens at random and when this occurs, the door locks open by themselves and the horn goes off due to possible computer system intermittent issue or wiring harness issue. 3) instrument cluster gages shut off during driving and when this happens the transmission will shift itself into 1st gear or into reverse while in city traffic or on the freeway (regardless of current speed) due to possible computer system intermittent issue or wiring harness issue. (this is usually fun to experience while on the freeway at 70 mph+)! Not! (rpms shoot up to over 6,000+) 4) instrument cluster does not work on engine start and when this occurs, the transmission is stuck in 2nd gear and will not down or up shift while driving until instrument cluster decides to work again due to possible computer system intermittent issue or wiring harness issue. 5) the front end was never in an accident, but, when i turn sharp to the right or left while parking or just pulling out of a driveway or onto a road from a parked position, the drive shafts or struts or arms themselves seem to shift and clunk very loudly (similar to a 40 lb. Sledge hammer being swung into your sub-frame in the front end). I have taken this car to 3 chrysler dealerships and 4 private garages and no one has figured it out. I replaced (2 front drive axles, 4 struts, stutt mounts, lower ball joints, tie rods, all rubber bushings in front end, rear sway bar and bushings).

Dt: there was a leak in the fuel rail,, and while driving there was a fire in the engine compartment. There was a recall on this issue. The consumer was never notified about the recall. The recall information was found through a chrysler website, and consumer put in the last eight digits of the vin and they were included in the recall. The consumer's son contacted chrysler thirty times , and they advised the consumer to take the car to a dealer for repairs. The dealer confirmed there was fuel rail leak, and a new fuel rail would have to be installed, along with other wiring that was melted as a result. The consumer's son had an issue with the chrysler dealership, and wished to take vehicle away from chrysler dealership because he felt they were doing nothing about the problem. Chrysler agreed to fix the recall but first they wanted to investigate further. There was minor damage as the consumer smelled something odd and pulled over. Upon further investigation, the hood was raised. And a small fire came from the fuel rail. A bystander put out the fire with his hand, and the consumer drove the vehicle home about a mile down the road. *ak

I was pulling out of my parking spot, i had to turn the steering wheel almost all the way to the rite to get out. When my front tires came off the drive way( or curb) i heard a snap. My tires wouldnt move after that. The steeriing wheel would move but my tires wouldnt. I had to pay $150 to have it towed to a an auto shop ($50), have them look at it and tell me what had happened($70), and have it towed back($50). The auto shop told me that two bolts that hold the tie rods to the rack and pinion had snaped in half. They wanted $820 to fix it. I had them tow it back to my parking spot. I took the rack and pinion out myself and got the bolts out. I am still in the process of fixing this problem. My wife had looked online to see if this problem had happened to anyone else. She found that this has happened to quite a few people. I have a friend who ownes a 1994 dodge intrepid. My friend said the same thing happened to his car. He was driving when it happened to him, he lost control of his car and was hit by another car. My wife found a story of a couple of people that had this problem and it ended up taking the lives of there 18 yr old daughter and her boyfriend. I couldnt find a recall for it on your website.

1. No gradual signs. One day, front end very unstable, shaking and wobbling - as if front end not aligned or bad tires / inflation. Steering the vehicle was a challenge & felt very unsafe. Same day, i took vehicle to tire store to have looked at, tires checked / rotated if needed. Replaced one rear tire that was soon to be needed and checked inflation on others, etc. 5:30pm, i was sent on my way. Car drove better it seemed - for approx. 4 miles. 2. 5:45pm - at red stop light, while waiting for light to change everything seemed fine with vehicle. Once light turned green, i was 2nd car in line to proceed... When i tried to accelerate forward, vehicle would not go. I thought may have stalled - no. It would just not go. I got out of vehicle while trying to direct traffic around me... Looked at front of car, nothing. Bent down to look at tires & both front tires were facing (turned) inward - towards one another. I have never seen a vehicle do this !!! Thank god i was stopped at a stop light when this happened. Had vehicle towed to mechanic and was told bolt connecting upper tie rod to rack is broken off in rack !!! 3. Estimate was given - however, i have a problem with bolts breaking on any equipment. Vehicle is unsafe and sitting in driveway. I think chrysler should have it repaired. Vehicle has 80,000 miles and is a 1993 concorde. *la

On 09/11/03 i purchased a used 1993 chrysler concorde. About a month later the low fuel gauge and airbag lights started coming on, nd my tank is at least half full all the time. The problem is that i never know when the lights will come on and when they do, it causes the vehicle to sometimes stall and jerk violently as if i've been hit from the rear and gas fumes are so strong that i have to drive with the windows down. I took the car back to the dealership and spoke with private mechanics and explained it to them but noone could find any problem. I recently found a website listing persons with some of the same problems i've experienced with this vehicle and find it amazing that we haven't all become a fatality because of the many problems with it. I have a hood that won't stay up, a trunk that sometimes opens by itself, the gauges on the instrument panel goes off and the heater comes on at full speed, acceleration when changing gears from parking to drive and on and on. I understand that problems come with used cars but some of these issuses were there when the car was brand new and was recalled. I will be going to the dealership again, only this time i will have some of these issues in wirting and hopefully they can give me a better answer than. *ak "i found nothing" (except my money). Before this car i drove a 1994 plymouth acclaim which i bought in 1995. It served me really well for 8 years with me driving back and forth to my hometown in mississippi, sometimes twice a year. The adjustments made on it were normal for wear and tear after that long, and it did make some of the same noises as the concorde, but i don't think i'll be buying another chrysler vehicle after i trade this one. I pray that it doesn't catch fire or blow up before i can.

The passenger bucket seat, inboard seat-track is broken. This causes the inboard side to be loose. The inboard seat assy can move several inches up/down. This problem seems similar to the one described in a chrysler "customer satisfaction notification" wherin the inboard pivot bracket was to be replaced on the drivers seat. In what may be a related problem the fore/aft power seat motor is either burned out or defective. In short, the passenger bucket seat track assy. Is defective and unsafe. The dealer parts department states that the entire seat track assy. Must be replaced at a cost of $450 or so in parts alone. In that the passenger seat is unstable and that the problem is a defect in materials or design, i believe that this problem should be grounds for a recall and no cost repair. In addition, both passenger and driver seat tracks have had 6 inch plastic guides break and come loose from the track assy. This causes the seats to be mildly unstable and loose.

The air conditioner suddenly stopped working and was diagnosed with a failed evaporator coil. I questioned how an evaporator coil could fail, since in my experience having owned more than 80 vehicles i have never heard of an evaporator coil just failing for no apparent reason. I was informed that the materials used to manufacture the evaporator coil are subject to corrosion and rapid failure when the system is charged with r-134 refrigerant. Those systems that failed prior to reaching 70,000 miles were replaced free of charge by the manufacturer, but no attempt was made to notify customers that there was a problem with the components unless the system actually failed. Those of us who had these failures occur after the 70,000 mile cutoff are faced with approximately $1,000 in repair costs. The really terrible part about this is that the dealer informed me the system will probably fail again within 2 years and there is no better component available to eliminate this problem. He also indicated that this is not a problem unique to chrysler, rather all manufacturers are experiencing similar problems after switching to the new refrigerants. It appears that the consumers have been duped again.

The helena chrysler dealership made all repairs to the fuel rail. There was a fuel leak from the fuel rail--the fuel rail was replaced as well as "o" rings and gaskets. I did contact the chrysler corp. However they said they were unable to help me and refused to comment on the extreme safety issue. And at the time of the phone call april, 1998 i had to take my car back to the dealership and have the same 'o' rings and gaskets replaced because the intake manifold gaskets failed. I called to find out if there had been any recalls for my car and if any were associated with the fuel rail. At that time there wasn't a recall. I would appreciate any help you can provide and if i can be refunded any money for repairs that would be great!!
