1994 CHRYSLER LHS Electrical System Problems

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.

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...

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...

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...

RIGHT STEERING TIE ROD HAS RUBBED THROUGH TRANSMISSION HARNESS, CAUSING A SHORT CIRCUIT WHICH RESULTED IN AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON VEHICLE'S MAKE AND MODEL. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. *AK

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. *AK

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
