1994 CHRYSLER LEBARON Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 75,000 MILES ON IT. THOUGHT IT MIGHT LAST A LITTLE WHILE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS, TRANSMISSION LEAK, AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WORK! GRINDS WHEN I PUT IT INTO REVERSE, AND ALL THE OTHER GEARS NOTHING HAPPENS. I ALSO JUST PUT A NEW FILTER AND FLUID IN THREE MONTHS AGO. *NM

TRANSMISSION WITH OVERDRIVE FAILED AT ONLY 48,000 MILES WITHOUT WARNING AND WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH. CONSUMER CLAIMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF. CONSUMER CONTACTED CHRYSLER, AND WAS TOLD AN UPGRADE WOULD NEED TO BE DONE AT CONSUMER'S COST.*AK THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING IT OR UPGRADING IT. *YH

WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED FROM 4TH TO 2ND GEAR, CAUSING VEHICLE TO RACE TO EXTREMELY HIGH RPMS, CAUSE UNKNOWN. *AK

CONSUMER HAD TO REPLACE THE SERPENTINE BELT THREE TIMES. ALSO, DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HAD TO BE PUT BACK ON THE TRACK BECAUSE NUTS : BOLTS WERE DEFECTIVE, TRANSMISSION JERKED WHEN PUT IN GEAR. *AK

TRANSMISSION FAILED, REPAIR COMPLETED HOWEVER VEHICLE IS STILL EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. *MJS

POSSIBLE DEFECT OF TRANSIMISSION WAS REPAIRED AT 37,706 MILES. REPLACEMENTS WERE DONE TO THE FILTER TO CORRECT PROBLEM. HOWEVER,THERE WERE MANY SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE, COMPLETE OVERHAUL REQUIRED AT 42000. *YC

CAR HAD ABOUT 14,000 MILES ON IT WHEN PURCHASED FROM THE DEALER WHO SOLD IT ORIGINALLY. IT HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED! DOOR FAILED, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO EXIT, WITHOUT CRAWLING OVER THE ARMREST TO EXIT FROM PASSENGER SIDE, OR LOWERING THE TOP TO EXIT OUT THE WINDOW. TRAVIS DISAVOWED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL, SO REPAIRS WERE UNDERTAKEN AFTER COMPLETION OF MOVE OUT-OF-STATE, AT MCLAIN'S BODY SHOP WHERE HE POINTED OUT FAILED HINGE AND NOTED THAT THAT DESIGN FLAW IS "COMMON" WITH THIS MODEL. REPAIRS, EVEN WITH USED DOOR WERE $1690.01. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED TWICE, UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE SECOND TIME, AT ABOUT 99,500 MILES. THE WINDOW MOTOR WILL NOT LOWER THE WINDOW.

BOTH DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE DOORS HAVE SEPARATED FROM BODY OF VEHICLE ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, AND HAVE BEEN WELDED BACK ON. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED, 1 DOOR REPAIRED BY DEALER, OTHER DOOR AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS--INTERNAL PART BROKE LOOSE AND FLEW THROUGH THE HOUSING. REPAIRED AT OWNER'S COST. *AK *ML

WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH AND WITHOUT NO PRIOR WARNING THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, CAUSING ALOT OF RMP TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, AND THE VEHICLE WAS JERKING FORWARD. *AK

TRANSMISSION SHAKES VIOLENTLY FOR FIRST SEVERAL BLOCKS IN COLD WEATHER. DEALER INSTALLED REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION ON 11/10/98. PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. BESIDES SEVERE SHAKING DURING THE FIRST SEVERAL BLOCKS IN COLD WEATHER, THE CAR NOW LUNGES FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP AS THOUGH IT IS HIT FROM THE REAR; THESE PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR AS THE DRIVE TRAIN WARMS. DEALER SAID THAT THEY DROVE THE CAR FOR 59 MILES (ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM IS ONLY IN THE FIRST MILE OR SO) AND DID NOT DETECT A PROBLEM. THEY SAID TO WAIT FOR THE PROBLEM TO WORSEN AS THE WEATHER GROWS COLDER.
