• 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.

• Fuel rail, brake fluid, chassis investigation # DP04007

  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 # EA03011

  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 # DP03002

  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.

Recall 790 was preformed in 1999, (a patch was installed on a fuel rail). March of 2016 the fuel rail began leaking and i took the car to a former chrysler repair garage, (graft, scottdale, pa 724-887-7800) where they found the recall patch failed and i had to have a new fuel rail installed. The service manager, [xxx] informed me i should contact chrysler since the recall repair of 1999 failed and apply for reimbursement. I contacted chrysler and they told me despite the repair of 1999 failing this year recalls have an expiration! That is not true according to multiple dealers i've contacted. The repairs for the faulty fuel rail cost me $366.00 and chrysler refuses to assist. I can be reached at [xxx]....[xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr

In a "panic stop " situation the abs controller modulated and reduced very significantly the braking effort when the driver slammed on the brakes on dry pavement. While braking the driver also maneuvered into the k rail to reduce speed and almost avoided a collision. The air bags did not deploy and were not needed as the final crash was at low speed.

Rusted brake lines caused brake system to fail. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 1995 chrysler concorde. While attempting to turn the steering wheel, the contact heard a loud pop as the steering wheel started spinning uncontrollably. After inspection, he noticed that the tie rod bolt was fractured on the steering rack. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure nor was the vehicle diagnosed or repaired. The current and failure mileages were 130,931. The vin was unavailable.

Transmission failure, i read that chrysler had a recall on transmissions for the 95 chrysler concorde, due to shifting problems, my 95 chrysler concorde, drove fine and then suddenly stopped, if i shut off the engine, then restart it, it will drive, until it tries to shift to second then it will not drive anymore, at all, until i shut it off and then restart it, then it will immediately drive again. I was told by a mechanic that it is most likely a solenoid shift pack, which was recalled by chrysler. *tr

My vehicle does not change into second gear. I found out while i was in heavy traffic and became a hazard to other drivers. When in reverse, it has a "clunk" noise when the gas is applied. The problem came all of a sudden without warning. There are also computer and ignition problems with this vehicle. It sounds like there is crackling in the dashboard when the heater is on, the ignition switch cannot be turned all the way to the on position when the car is on or the abs light will come on and prevents function of the heater. *tr

My wife was driving our 1995 chrysler concorde when she lost total steering control while making a left hand turn causing car to go over curb damaging a sign at the warren public library and significant damage to the car. Upon inspection, it has been found that the tie rod linkage into the rack and pinion had broken off. *tr

1995 chrysler concorde with approximately 122,000 miles became unsafe to drive due to excessive play in the steering/an inability to control the car. The dealer identified the problem as inner tie rod bushings. Within the same week, the driver's seat belt came unbolted from the car. *tr

Tl* - the contact called regarding a 1995 chrysler concorde. The contact stated that exiting a ramp at 10-15 mph the tie rod bolts fell off the steering system. The contact stated he had no steering and the wheels would not turn. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. He had a small bolt and put it in the steering system and was able to drive the vehicle home at 3 mph. The contact took the vehicle to the chrysler dealer and was told the vehicle needed a new rack and pinion. The contact call the chrysler corporate office ,and was told there was a recall on the steering. However, because the vehicle had over 36,000 miles they would not repair it for free. *ak updated 03/07/07. *jb
