NHTSA Complaint #763461 — 1995 CHRYSLER LHS

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER IN 1997 WITH 23,000 MILES ON IT. SINCE THAT TIME WE HAD HAD ENORMOUS REPAIR BILLS. IN 1998 WE HAD TO HAVE THE HEADS REPLACED. THERE WAS LATER A PROBLEM WITH THE MAPPING SENSORS, O2 SENSORS AND MANY OTHER PROBLEWMS. RECENTLY 12-2002 WE TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE OF STARTING PROBLEMS. WE WERE ADVISED A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM . AT THE SUGGESTION OF A CHRYSLER MECHANIC WE HAD ALL OF THE SUGGESTED REPAIRS COMPLETED. THIS COST US JUST UNDER $1000.00. THE CAR WAS RETURNED SEVERAL TIMES AND WE WERE ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. WE THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALER AND ANOTHER$1000.00 LATER WE DROVE THE CAR OFF THE LOT. WITHIN 2 WEEKS WE WERE BACK AT THE DEALER WHERE THE CAR REMAINS. I AM NOW TOLD THAT THE BLOCK IS CRACKED. I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CARS BUT I REALLY THINK THAT I HAVE ENDED UP WITH A LEMON OR THAT I HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY THE MECHANICS. PLEASE HELP.*AK
