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.

• 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.

The contact owns a 1999 chrysler concorde. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a gasoline odor detected while the vehicle was parked. There was no visible fuel leak on the ground when the contact inspected the vehicle. The dealer was informed of the failure but informed the contact that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not under recall. The approximate failure mileage was 248,000.

Takata recall car caught fire in the front of the car (defrost vents) i went inside the store while my car was parked on the street when i came bac my car was smoking. Fire department said it was caused by fan motor fail.

There is a fuel leak at the connection of fuel rail and fuel line 2.7l engine vehicle was staionary cold or hot motor 6/ 2/ 2017 . There was a recall early 2000 year for same problems .

I found five recalls on the safecar.Gov site, yet i have never been notified of any of them. In approximately 2000-2001, i had a failure of the driver's seat, while trying to move the seat back for more room, where the back fell all the way down to a reclining position. I was not able to make it stay up. The dealer at the tme repaired it at an approximate cost of $1,100.00. Sometime later, i read in the newspaper later about a recall for the seats, and took it to joliet dodge, joliet, il, who is now out of business. They refused to do anything, telling me i had already had it fixed, and refusing to reimburse me for the cost to repair. Fast forward to july 2014. When trying to move the seat back by using the lever for that and pushing back with my body, the seat back totally failed again. It goes all the way down, and will not stay up. Because of the age of the car, and the fact that i am a retiree on only social security for a very limited income, and not being able to afford the cost to repair, i did a home made fix by putting my large plastic cooler on the floor in back of the seat to hold it up. I am lucky this happened while the car was in park, not moving, else i might have had a terrible accident. The first time it occurred, i was driving, but had no accident.

Yesterday i had to go to the hospital because the trunk lid fell on my neck when i was unloading my trunk. This car has an electrical trunk that opens and the trunk also, has a spring air rod that controls the hold of the open trunk. I know this failed because the trunk just lost its hold all of a sudden and landed on my neck. As i tried to lift it from above me (its very heavy- big trunk), my left hand index finger broke and my left arm and hand are in pain. Not to mention, the severe pain i am undergoing with my neck. I also bled a lot and immediately went to the emergency room. I believe this can be a manufacturing defect due to the excessive weight of this trunk door and the device being relied on for the control of trunk. *tr

I was parking on a parking lot and lot had a structured small post on the driver side; due to visibility that the vehicle lamp omitted to light properly, i damaged the front right corner bumper. I have noticed that the corner lamp assemblies have a problem with the reflectors. This lamp doesn't have the required amber side reflectors don't work well cause i can barely see (not like my other cars). There is a recall set already for part number cs114-u0bj2 which is a combination corner and lamp assembly for this vehicle. I am asked to contact sabersport who is doing the recall (recall id#09e012000 exterior lighting); however, their number is disconnected and their online contact number is a wrong number. At this point, i don't think its right that i have to pay for these repairs. Even upon repairs,i need the vehicle with correct lamp assembly so it doesn't happen again. Next time, could be a worse accident. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr

The molding between the hood and the windshield flew off as i was driving in the freeway. I was driving like i normally do ( approx. 65mph), when fwy is clear of cars; this is not reason enough for this car part to fly off. Luckily, fwy was clear, if not, i could of had an accident since it affected my visibility while driving. Once i replace this, i wonder if next time... Will i have an accident? How to ask they install it so it doesn't fly off? Dealer says they must install it per manufacturer requirements but the normal way it comes from manufacturer doesn't work cause it eventually flies off. I noticed there are countless complaints regarding same issue with nhtsa. How many complaints are necessary for it to be recalled? *tr
