Read complaints for CHRYSLER LHS (1994)
1994 chrysler lhs accelerated without warning causing consumer to strike two vehicles and a telephone pole. The consumer stated the air bags failed to deploy.
During a minor collision there was violent deployment of the air bag causing injury to consumer (bruised face) and broken glasses.
My father noticed the passenger airbag lifting, and warping soon after purchasing the vehicle.the vehicle was still new, yet chrysler refused saying that it was normal due to the material.there are numerous complaints regarding a defective passenger airbag for the 1994 lhs and numerous technical bulletins.even though it is 20 years old, the vehicle is in excellent condition. The airbag condition has worsened tremendously, and poses a severe safety hazard. The vehicle only has approximately 13k miles, has been garaged, and is in excellent condition.there is nothing else wrong with the vehicle except for the fact that the airbag is defective.this poses an extreme safety hazard and i am afraid that it will not deploy in the event of an accident, and result in death.chrysler said that their seatbelts and airbags have a lifetime warranty, yet they refuse to resolve this matter.please assist.
I hit a car in the rear at 12 to 15 mph, air bags did not deploy. Should they have?
While driving 5 mph vehicle in front was rear ended by consumer's vehicle. The air bags deployed and shattered the front windshield.
The vehicle hit a pickup truck head-on and the airbag did not deploy at 30mph. Please describe.
When the consumer applied the brakes, the pedal went to the floor.the consumer hit a pot hole and was unable to maintain control of the vehicle and skidded into a ditch.the air bags did not deploy.the passenger was injured and went to the hospital the next day.the vehicle was towed and totaledby the insurance company.*sc
Consumer was driving approximately 35 mph when applied the abs, and pedal went to the floor. Vehicle rear ended a honda, anddriver 's side air bag did not deploy. Passenger's side air bag raised up, but did not come out.
I was in a full frontal crash on 7/2/01, both driver and passinger airbags failed to deploy. Both my daughter and i were injured due to the air bags not deploying.
Had a frontal collision, neither air bag deployed.
While driving the airbag warning light comes on.owner has taken vehicle to dealer and was informed that the actuatingsprings had been activated and need to be replaced.
Passanger side airbag compartment cover is disengaging from it's designed apparatus.it appears to be caused by direct sunlight that is removing the vinyl covering to the housing compartment of the passenger side airbag.my concern is the safty of the deployment of the airbag.has the proper functionality of the airbagsdeployment been compromised due to the defective cover. And due to the covering being loose, could the airbag deploy at anytime without it's designed cause.
Electrical system malfunctions causing vehicle to stall while in motion. Also causing starter not to operate. I have been told by chrysler,that even though 110,00 vehicles were recalled because of this defect(campaign number 611), my vehicle is not one of those recalled.
Takata recall; my transmission goes in "limp mode" often and i smell electric wiring burning in side my vehicle, under dash or under hood some were?! the vehicle was in motion on a city streets.
Dt: the consumer states that the car is locking and unlocking, the door locks by itself. The trunk is also opening by itself. The owner has not taken the vehicle to have it looked at yet. She has called the dealership to check on recalls and there were not any on her car, according to her dealership. The owner bought the car used from a friend and she is also the third owner. The previous owner put in a new motor. The manufacturer has not been contacted. This has been happening with the trunk for about three weeks and the lock for about a week. The owner is locking her car doors at night and the next morning the car is unlocked and the trunk was open.she is going to have the car checked today, but she doesn't want to pay $85.00 to have the car looked at and checked. This car is a 1994 chrysler lhs. The owner suggests that this is an electrical problem. The information is all that the consumer had available to her. The owner has the vehicle regularly maintained.
In july 2004, i purchased a used '94 chrysler lhs w/95,000 miles in very good condition (exterior/interior) but within the first few weeks i experienced electrical problems (electric current not going to gauges, gauges going haywire), transmission problems (periodic 'limp mode', car erratically surging) and steering problems (rack 7 pinion, inner/outer tie rods). Within a few months i replaced the inner/outer tie rods and front/rear stabilizer links that all improved my front suspension.just recently about a month ago, i had my local dodge dealer replace one broken transmission mount ($305) then the following week at 124,500 miles while driving to work on my local highway my transmission failed, which resulted in loss of power steering and loss of drive gears, i was able to exit safely onto my jobs parking lot before it finally gave out. I had it towed to an exclusive auto transmission shop, they had to rebuild/overhaul the transmission and torque converter ($1,800).a whopping $2,100 in repairs in about a month. There went my christmas money.
The vehicle electrical system is not working properly causing the heater to come on but unable to be turned off until consumer takes the circuit out.and the instrument panel lights work intermittently.nlm
Right steering tie rod has rubbed throughtransmission harness, causing a short circuit which resulted in an electrical system malfunction. A recall has been issued onvehicle's make and model. However, this vehiclewas notincluded due to vin. Vehicle was repaired at the owner's expense.
This is the second 1994 lhs i've had, and the same problems have occured on both cars.someone needs to listen to complaints before there is a loss of someones life. Which i came very close to the racket pinion and tie rod.another few miles and we might not be here today.there is also problems with the heater and ac not working,cant shut it off,turn it on change it fromheat to ac.hood problems. Timing belt.so many things have went wrong with both these cars and they both were 1994 ch-lhs.dont have the dates in front of me when all the things happened.i had trouble with this car 3 days after i bought it. And the last one i put money into it one time after another another,someone hit it and it was totaled out.i will never own another.any chrysler .thought i was getting a nice car,got 2 lemons.just think they need to be checked out before someone is hurt.

Windshield wiper stops working (no power) during rainstorm. It's very dangerous to change lanes to the shoulder in the rain without wipers.slamming hood starts wipers again.all gauges (speed, tack, gas etc) either go full on/off or stop at 1/2 actual speed/ rpm without any apparent reason. At the same time, the seat belt and air bag lights illuminate. Pounding on dash sometimes returns the gauges. Turning off the engine and re-starting correct the gauges/lights but not the wipers. Car is at dealers for repair and they can not find problem(s).
While driving the vehicle suddenly slowed down and almost came to a complete stop, the mechanic found the problem to be the wires under the front bumper, the plastic wire protector is not produced to be completely closed therefor it allows dirt and water to gather inside of it, this debris rubbed against the wires weakening them.nlm
When sitting at a red light vehcle will completely loose power.sometimes at highway speed vehicle jerks like its going to shut down.took to dealer and dealer did some maintenance on throttle body.dealer told consumer that his vehicle identification number was not affected by the recall. 94 v 024 000.please provide any further information.

Fire in engine compartment that totally destroyed car. There was a large puddle of gas in driveway under car prior to fire. Car had been idling in driveway for about 10 to 15 min. Before driving the kids to the bus stop.wife and kids were in car with engine running and had smelled something like fuel. First bus had picked up 2 kids left then wife saw smoke heard noise saw flames from under hood and got other children out of car just before passenger compartment was starting to burn. Car was totally burned through out. Reported incident to chrysler due toa previous recall that had been performed to the fuel system about 3 to 4 year before incident. Was told due to the extensive damage to car (after inspection by chrysler's inspector) that fire was of undetermined cause and was not their responsibility because recall had been performed. Even though prior to their inspection i (a mechanic of 20+years ) could not see a problem with the fuel supply lines to engines fuel rail. Would like a further investigation into this incident to prevent possible future injuries to people or possible loose of life.
The pivot bolt attaching the camshaft drive belt idler assembly to the engine block broke causing the engine to stop immediately while we were in an intersection.fortunately there was no other traffic endangered.the engine could not be restarted and the car had to be towed from the location of the incident.damage occurred to the tensioner pulley and the timing belt and to the valve train.major service was conducted on the vehicle at about 70,000 miles when the timing belt was replaced along with the water pump and other components.the official service manual does not even suggest replacing the idler assembly or pivot bolt (integral to the replacement assembly), and when i spoke with daimlerchrysler customer service at their headquarters they admitted that they also have no service bulletins suggesting that item be serviced.i still have the broken parts available.

Dear nhtsa, in january i bought a 94 chrysler lhs in good condition from a friend.it had around 75000 miles on it when i bought it.before i bought it, she told me that she had repaired the ac numerous times and the warranty had even been extended on it until 70,000 miles.also, i read in consumer reports that in canada, the chrysler lhs ac warranty was extended to 7 years or 150,000 km to address ac evaporator problems.with that in mind, when i tried to use the ac in the spring/summer, it smelled like the nastiest, worst smell ever and i couldn't use it.when i took it to the chrysler dealership, they told me that i needed a new air conditioning system for $1500.when i brought up the history of repairs, they offered no payment help whatsoever.i decided to take my car to my regular repair shop, and they told me that it was only the evaporator, and it would cost me around $500 to fix.i paid for that.the reason that i am telling you this is because the part was defective, and the dealership not only wouldn't help me with the repairs (even thought they knew the ac had a history of problems) but they tried to sell me more unnecessary parts (the rest of the ac system).the second problem that i am having, which has not been fixed is the rack and pinion.in mid january i turned on the car one day and the power steering was out.i took it to my good mechanic (not the liar/thief chrysler dealership) and he told me that the rack and pinion needed to be fixed/replaced, another $400-500 job.instead of fixing it, i decided to do a little bit of research and i noticed your investigation pe99044 which started on june 28,1999 and i wanted you to know that my rack and pinion is also defective, and it needs to be replaced.thank you for all of your help and please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] again!!!

Original transmission would not shift when weather was below 25 degrees.took car into dealer for warranty work each winter.they always said the could not find anything wrong.it would work until the next winter.finally filed a complaint with state of colorado and transmission was replaced.now the new transmission (2 years and 22,000 miles later) will not go into gear after sitting for a couple of days.air conditioning doesn't work every other summer.dealer says there is nothing wrong.services ac and it works that summer.all warranties exhausted and still having problems.
The air conditioner was not working properly when we bought the car in august of 1997. We are the third owners so the chrysler warrenty was not transferable and they would not do any repairs. We had the a/c recharged at an independent repair shop and it worked for about a week.we then had the evaporator coil replaced.it lasted for a month. We now find out that chrysler has had problems with the a/c and extended the warrenty to 7/70000 but we are now past it.to replace the evaporator is a $300 + repair.
This car had a bumper to bumper 60,000 mile warranty - transmission and air conditioning should have been covered 100% i did not purchase this vehicle from vandynhoven's only had it serviced through them.they are reimbursing me 50% on the airconditioning because chrysler has agreed to pay 50% but i feel that the evaporator core was warranteed up to 70,000 miles and now i'm at 71,700 and they aren't covering it in full.the car was brought in at least 2 times while under warranty with air problems ?same with the transmission - it was brought in on several occations where it should have been fully covered and i had to pay $750.00 the intake manifold was leaking on 10/04/99

The dealer/mechanic stated the transmission showed signs of failure, also when the vehicle was started, it failed to leave first gear, which resulted in the vehicle being driven in first gear, however after the vehicle was parked for awhile, the vehicle ran perfect.
When accelerating up to 65 mph, the vehicle does not go into overdrive and runs at very high rpms.
Our traction controll went out in december of 1997 and then our abs went out. After the dealer made repairs under warranty our car never seemed to run the same again. Very sluggish and the transmission appeared to slip at times.took it back in march 1997 and was told there was a problem with a electrical module for the abs. Never were told of a recall.after that the card got terrible fule mileage and the transmission started to lock in second gear at times.when you turn the car off and re start it would be fine. We out it back in the shop three more times before i finally got it to lock into second gear and i drove it to the shop.the problem was fixed but we are still getting very bad fuel mileage. Had the fuel rail fixed for a leak on recall but still having bad fuel mileage.the transmission is still acting up.we are taking it back in again but the dealer doesn't feel there is a problem. When the dealer was repairing the fule rail they told us that they blew out a piston. Had to leave the car to rebuild the engine. Dealer did give us a rental car and have been very good to us.this car has too many problems and will be sold, no more chryslers in this family.
Throughout the last 3 months we have noticed that our cars transmission has been acting up. It has been shuddering everytime it shifts from 1st to second gear and from 3rd to od. It also has slammed into gear occasionally. We are very concerned for several reasons. One is obviously the safety of my wife and children in this car because this is her car and they are usually with her. Also, we are very upset with the manufacturer because this car only has 64000 miles on it. This transmission should not be breaking this early. We take extremely good care of our vehicles and want to insure the safety of its occupants. Thank you.
Car goes into limp mode at different times of year in different driving conditions after different driving periods.most times it resets after stopping and turning car off.seems to occur when car is first started or after long driving period.have lost power to wheels during driving.was questioned by a stranger in a parking lot who indicated they have same type of car with same problem with transmission.initial inspection by dealer indicated no abnormal information from computerized check up.seems to be common with car make and model.suspect design defect.

The gears of the vehicle locked up, the vehicle (unmanned) moved down the driveway hitting small trees causing undercarriage damage.consumer refused to drive an unsafe vehicle due to recalls and problems, consumer left vehicle parked at dealership for over a year, when driving vehicle after it had sat for a long period of time, it stalled while stopped at a stop sign, consumer was able to restart with no problems, serpentine belt came loose, black smoke coming from under the hood.vehicle experienced a tire vibration between 40 and 65 mph.turn signals did not work.transmission experienced vibration in the 2-3 upshift, a drbiii test was performed and code 48 came up, this code indicates a problem between the transmission control module and the power train module under heavy acceleration.vehicle experienced high accereration across a busy intersection.
Engine stalls without notice.this is the third time it has happened on the interstate in traffic and could cause an accident.there is no indicatio that it is going to stall.the first sign of a problem is when i press the accelerator pedal there is no response and the oil indicator light comes on .there is also a problem with the transmission not engaging in reverse and low in the the first time i go to drive it in that day.it takes about 2 minutes before i can get it to engage.when driving after the transmission is warmed up, there is some hesitation when accelerating. Also the headlights are very dim when driving at night.the hood lift assist cylinders do not function allowing the hood to drop without notice.i was struck in the head twice while checking fluids.

My 1994 chrysler lhs's transmission failed at 43,000 miles.the car would reach 35 mph per hours and would experience a racing motor and an inability to shift into the next gear.as i drove the car i experienced slipping of the gears and when i brought the car in for repairs it was undrivable.i contacted chrysler about this problem.this issue has yet to be resolved with chrysler since i did not get the car repaired at a chrysler dealership.i feel safety is at stake with a faulty transmission that fails at 43,000miles.
No summary listed for this vehicle.
Original transmission would not shift when weather was below 25 degrees.took car into dealer for warranty work each winter.they always said the could not find anything wrong.it would work until the next winter.finally filed a complaint with state of colorado and transmission was replaced.now the new transmission (2 years and 22,000 miles later) will not go into gear after sitting for a couple of days.air conditioning doesn't work every other summer.dealer says there is nothing wrong.services ac and it works that summer.all warranties exhausted and still having problems.
I find it hard to believe that this is an isolated case, as my sister-in-law, a friend at work, by husband's boss, and another employee all have had the same transmission failure, and they all had the exact same transmission.

I was pussing on the gas to heat up the engine, while my foot on the gas pedal the gear changed from park to reverse, thank god there was no one behind the car because it moved in reverse direction like a rocket from the drive way to the street to hit another standing car and moved off the street. Other than body damage the engine didn't work after the accedent and i had to replace it and until now since 4/2000 i'm fixing things related to the engine because it was used.right now i can change from park to reverse without pushing any where! not even on the brakes! i think what happend wasn't fair to me and i was lucky enough because i didn't cause any death or enjury to anyone.emad.thx.
There is a vibration when accelerating which becomes worse nearing highway speeds. The condition persists after replacing the powertrain mount and resecuring the harmonic balancer on another visit. I test drove the vehicle with the shop foreman and now the transmission assembly (shaft bearing) requiring a complete replacement and two axle shafts which exibit excessive wear. The problem that i complained of earlier when the vehicle was covered by the used car warrenty by 100% minus a $50 deductable and documented will now cost an estimated $2400 dollars at my expense. I will pursue legal action if necessary.

Aprox. 2 months ago i took my 1994 chrysler lhs to the dealer due to the traction control system light and the abs light were on.the dealer determined the problem was the " brake pedal travel sensor" , on the brake booster.i was advised the part is no longer available from chrysler.it was discontinued, after 1995, but it was 2005, so the 10 year rule on parts should not have been imposed yet.

While traveling on highway and without prior warning brakes gave out. Pedal went down to the floor and no power.dealership was aware of the problem.
Brakes failed.
This is the 3rd set of disc brake rotors. The rotors can only be refaced one time. They warp, due to heat. The heat generated is uneven, causing the warping, because the brake disc pads are unequal in size, by design. Chrysler is purposely designing failure into its components. The unequal sized brake pads are not necessary as there is adequate room for equal sized pads. All lhs chryslers should be recalled and repaired at manufacturers expense, requiring them to redesign the brake pads to prevent unequal heating of the rotors. It is high time that chrysler be made to answer for their engineered failure of safety components.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Consumer was advised that the front brakes are thin.
We are not satisfied with the reliability and performance of the original and replacement parts on a chrysler lhs we purchased new in 19994.the following are the high failure parts and systems on the car:1.water pump and associated parts (2 times) .it has failed twice, the first time was at 59,559 miles when it froze up and took the timing belt with it.the second time the pump developed a leak at 102,275 miles, which was 42,716 miles on the replacement pump.2.disc brakes and associated parts (2 times and need to be turned again).the rotors warp due to overheat from the brake pads.the first time the rotors were turned at 56,441 miles and then again at 84,347 miles.right now the car has 102,750 miles and the rotors need to be turned again.3.airconditioning system and associated parts (2 times).the airconditioning system evaporator coil leaked at 62,299 miles, but was covered by an extended warranty.the evaporator coil is leaking again at 102,750 miles and is not covered by warranty.this is a very expensive procedure in that the dashboard has to be removed.4.fuel rail and associated parts (1 time).due to a strong gas smell the fuel rail was replaced.when the dealer insisted that the problem wasn't covered by warranty, we paid to have the problem fixed.we were later reimbursed by chrysler when we called their customer service.

In july 2004, i purchased a used '94 chrysler lhs w/95,000 miles in very good condition (exterior/interior) but within the first few weeks i experienced electrical problems (electric current not going to gauges, gauges going haywire), transmission problems (periodic 'limp mode', car erratically surging) and steering problems (rack 7 pinion, inner/outer tie rods). Within a few months i replaced the inner/outer tie rods and front/rear stabilizer links that all improved my front suspension.just recently about a month ago, i had my local dodge dealer replace one broken transmission mount ($305) then the following week at 124,500 miles while driving to work on my local highway my transmission failed, which resulted in loss of power steering and loss of drive gears, i was able to exit safely onto my jobs parking lot before it finally gave out. I had it towed to an exclusive auto transmission shop, they had to rebuild/overhaul the transmission and torque converter ($1,800).a whopping $2,100 in repairs in about a month. There went my christmas money.

Dear nhtsa, in january i bought a 94 chrysler lhs in good condition from a friend.it had around 75000 miles on it when i bought it.before i bought it, she told me that she had repaired the ac numerous times and the warranty had even been extended on it until 70,000 miles.also, i read in consumer reports that in canada, the chrysler lhs ac warranty was extended to 7 years or 150,000 km to address ac evaporator problems.with that in mind, when i tried to use the ac in the spring/summer, it smelled like the nastiest, worst smell ever and i couldn't use it.when i took it to the chrysler dealership, they told me that i needed a new air conditioning system for $1500.when i brought up the history of repairs, they offered no payment help whatsoever.i decided to take my car to my regular repair shop, and they told me that it was only the evaporator, and it would cost me around $500 to fix.i paid for that.the reason that i am telling you this is because the part was defective, and the dealership not only wouldn't help me with the repairs (even thought they knew the ac had a history of problems) but they tried to sell me more unnecessary parts (the rest of the ac system).the second problem that i am having, which has not been fixed is the rack and pinion.in mid january i turned on the car one day and the power steering was out.i took it to my good mechanic (not the liar/thief chrysler dealership) and he told me that the rack and pinion needed to be fixed/replaced, another $400-500 job.instead of fixing it, i decided to do a little bit of research and i noticed your investigation pe99044 which started on june 28,1999 and i wanted you to know that my rack and pinion is also defective, and it needs to be replaced.thank you for all of your help and please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] again!!!
This car had a bumper to bumper 60,000 mile warranty - transmission and air conditioning should have been covered 100% i did not purchase this vehicle from vandynhoven's only had it serviced through them.they are reimbursing me 50% on the airconditioning because chrysler has agreed to pay 50% but i feel that the evaporator core was warranteed up to 70,000 miles and now i'm at 71,700 and they aren't covering it in full.the car was brought in at least 2 times while under warranty with air problems ?same with the transmission - it was brought in on several occations where it should have been fully covered and i had to pay $750.00 the intake manifold was leaking on 10/04/99
Two and only bolts of rack and pinion completely sheared off exiting from gas station resulting in total loss of steering.original rack and pinion was replaced at 47k miles with a new one.dealer being very cooperative in trying to get reimbursement for us ($800+).our concern is possibly defective bolts and need to issue recall for replacement of bolts.we kept original sheared bolts and rack.dealer now has bolts and has sent them to detroit for testing.dealer also has now taken possesion of rack and pinion showing remnants of sheared bolts inside.we have had many problems with the front end/steering of this vehicle.each time repair is made, problem gets worse, now culminating in total loss of steering which could have also resulted in the death of my wife, who was driving the car.fortunately, she had pulled into a gas station after driving several hours on i-74 at 65 mph.should a 1994 chrysler lhs now be on its third rack and pinion.i think not.i'm not optimistic dealer will come back with a definitive answer although the bolts were sent to chrysler engineering for metalurgy testing.if you need further information, we have documented all repairs/problems with this vehicle and would supply you with same.
1) rack & pinion steering components are becoming worn after only 59000 miles. As the steering wheel is moved, a "clunking" noise is heard coming from the rack & pinion gear box, resulting in vibration through steering wheel at low or high speeds. 2) trunk is filling with water due to body welding cracks. Welding cracks are located in each rear corner of trunk lid near each turn indicator. 3) engine ticking is coming from valve train wear.

Rack and pinion steering failed.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
On february 2002, 2 bolts connecting to the rack and pinion and tie rods snapped in half and nearly caused me to crash my vehicle. The snapping of the bolts caused the malfunction of the rack and pinion and i had to replace the rack and pinion plus the bolts (from chrysler). On january 23, 2004 , the exact malfunction occurred again almost causing another accident. I can't understand how a solid steel bolt manufactured by chrysler can snap in half after only 2 years. I have owned other automobiles older than the chrysler lhs and never had a bolt break in half at any time. I have been lucky on both occasions that i was able to maneuver the vehicle before an accident occurred. Also, these repairs are costly and cause one to be apprehensive about driving the vehicle again.
