This is interrogative. My wife joined an accident in progress (no. 3 of 3 vehicles) becasue she couldn't stop in time. She was at 35 mph steady, said she had applied full braking. The nyer was pitched down when it contacted the bumper of a s-10 pickup truck. We have sheet metal damage to the hood, left fender and everything above the bumper line, including ac coil, radiator, fan, etc. She was uninjured. Neither air bag deployed. The system check at engine start has always been exactly as described in the operator's handbook. My question is, shouldn't the airbags have deployed? if they should have, why didn't they and how do i insure the system is operational before i return the car to service?

We have had an ongoing problem with the air conditioning in this vehicle. I have contacted chrysler numerous times and was never made aware that there was an ongoing problem with the air conditioners in these vehicles. I have never recieved any recall letters nor have i recieved the addendum to the basic warranty for the airconditioning. I have brought the vehicle into other chysler dealers since where i purchased the vehicle has closed. The dealer wanted to charge $1,500 to repair the airconditioning. I have contacted chrysler numerous times since 1995 regarding this problem and they have never offered any help, other than they are not responsible. We have put thousands of dollars into repairing the airconditioner and chrysler was made aware of these problems before the air was fixed. I was never told that chrysler was liable for these repairs. I have just spoken with chrysler and they refuse to help solve this problem. The evaporator in the car has been replaced two times and the pump has also. The vehicle only holds an airconditioning charge for 3 days. I would appreciate any help i can recieve in having chrysler look into this problem. I have contacted chrysler since 1995 on a yearly basis and they have offered no help what so ever. At this point they will not look at the air conditioning without charging me.i was also never made aware of the three recalls on my vehicle. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Frame of driver's seat broke.
Sliding tracks for front seats failure.plastic inserts breaking, causing seats to become very unstable.
The front seat tracks have plastic inserts in them. They have broken out of the tracks and have been found on the floor of the vehicle several times. I started finding these black plastic inserts when the car was in its second year of ownership. I bought the car used. I contacted chrysler and they said that they had not had any reports of this type, and would not participate in any repairs. The seats have become unstable on the tracks due to the fact that the inserts took up slack between the upper and lower half of the seat tracks. The seats will actually rock on their tracks. I question the safety of these seats without the inserts in them!

On 18 sep 2000, took my car down to the dealer upon receipt of recall # 883, "drivers power seat".the driver's seat does not go back and forth without pivoting sideways with the switch. The back of the seat upon leaning back goes towards the rear. Upon taking the car to the dealer for repair, they stated the seat track was not covered un der the recall and they wrote the part up for $500.00 and labor $110.00. However, the recall notice states if the seat adjuster pivot brackets and seat tracks is the problem, then the dealer will repair free of charge (parts and labor). I am very upsetthat i have received lessthan customer satisfaction and myself and family could be in danger with the seat not being stable. Dealer needs to be contacted to comply with recall #883.

This is interrogative. My wife joined an accident in progress (no. 3 of 3 vehicles) becasue she couldn't stop in time. She was at 35 mph steady, said she had applied full braking. The nyer was pitched down when it contacted the bumper of a s-10 pickup truck. We have sheet metal damage to the hood, left fender and everything above the bumper line, including ac coil, radiator, fan, etc. She was uninjured. Neither air bag deployed. The system check at engine start has always been exactly as described in the operator's handbook. My question is, shouldn't the airbags have deployed? if they should have, why didn't they and how do i insure the system is operational before i return the car to service?

With the fuel leak we smelled a lite fuel oderat first when we started the car.the oder got stronger bythe end of the month. We recived a recall notice shortly after . We took the car in for repair on 4/7/99 for the recall & bc the tires wobbled & shook the car at 30-45 mph. Theyfound the left inner tie rod brushinhs were worn & tire rod flopping- they replaced the tire rod 7 left toe specs. They also found the transmission oil leaking from the cooler hose.--on 11/22/99i was reversing at 1 or 2 mph from a parkingspace & then as i tried to put the car in forward there was a violent jerking ,& shaking but the car would not move anywhere at all. Igot out to look & there was wheel berrings & thick grease all over the parking lot.my car was towed the next day to an auto mech shop & repars were done. Shortly after that we recived a recall notice forthe problem that we had repaired. We are still trying to get reimbursed from chrysler corp. For that incident. And asof today 6/25/00 we are having problems again with the front wheel wobbling & shaking the car when driven at 30-45 mph for about 3 or 4 weeks now. Weare currently saving money to have that repaired again. We have had other problems with the car but did not include them on the investigation report bc they were not life threating---such astrunk opening on own while driving-it was fixed but trunk open light on dash panel comes on & off when trunk is closed. --the a/c leaked water on passenger floor & has a bad oder when put on. Almost like urine.
Steering was drifting and felt loose due to failed inner/outer tie rods and stabilizer links. *mjs

Steering problems, rack and pinion failure, loss of steering while driving.
While turning vehicle will jerk and the power steering will go out. Mechanic saysrack and pinion needs a new valve.

When the vehicle is runningpower locks make clicking sound as though someone was opening & closing.also, interior lights flicker on/off. Manufacturer &dealer seem to think this isn't a problem.
Door seal defect prevented opening of door, indirectly causing safety hazard, since mychildwas repeatedly forced to exit car on drivers side into oncoming traffic. Several technical service bulletins over severalyears have referred to this problem but dealer refused to replace defective door seal without charge.i believe that adoor stuck shut is indeed a safety hazard and should be investigated as such. No other cars i have owned have ever had this problem, even at older ages.this design and materials defect is an indirect safety hazard but should be still considered a legitimate one nonetheless.i paid $300 to have the pasadena chrysler dealer fix this problem and believe that chrysler should have paid for it.thank you for your attention.beatrice hirano, my correct zip code is 91770-no way to modify the data without erasing the comments.you should fix that on your site.
