This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Problem seems to start with the transmission clunking then eventually you will start to hear a popping noise in your front end, coming from the tie rod. Thought this was a suspension problem but took to dealer the first time and they replaced my brakes and serviced transmission. Cluncking noise still existed when you let off the gas and the slightly accellerated. Turns out the tie rod, transmission mount and axle were to blame. Can't tell you about the axle as they told me they would replace but did not show up on repair. I know that there seems to be serious problem with the drive train and suspension in the car. As for the dip stick, the heat created by the engine is cooking the plastic in the colored dipstick to the point it just falls apart. I recently had the tie rod and transmission mount replaced and now have a much worse cluncking noise the same day of the replacement...can I get some help as I feel this car is a serious problem waiting to happen..

I had all recommended servicing done at bothun's (eau claire) on 3-16-99 including transmission fluid change. They reported no problems with the transmission at that date. Within the month I began having difficulty getting the car into reverse. It would shift erratically or not at all. I called bothun on 4-16-99 as problems got worse. They examined the car 4-19-99 and told me the transmission pump/transmission was leaking badly and needed replacing. Chrysler customer service offered to pay 75% of the cost after bothun's contacted them about the repair. I was not willing to pay for the repair as I felt it was a premature failure of the transmission with the car having fewer than 50,000 miles. I agreed to have the work done and pay 25% since I need the car, but I feel that Chrysler should pay the rest of the bill. It does not seem normal wear and tear for this to happen in a 1995 car with low mileage and good care. My portion of the bill was $433.36 which I would like reimbursed.
Transmission causing shudder when shifting into 4th around 40mph. Dealer indicates need transmission rebuild. Vehicle has been maintained to owner's maunal specs. I was told that chrylser had a problem cleaning the transmission case at the time mine was manufactured. Debris was left in case that can wear transmission excessively. I would like to have Chrysler cover the repair even though the warranty has expired. Obviously the transmission should not wear out at 50000 miles. Thank-you
While driving, the transmission started to make noise, slip and vehicle was bucking; replaced transaxle and repaired wiring to main harness-loose connection.
Intermittent ABS brake system failure, complete loss of braking. Tt stalling occurs when engine is cold and warm, engine noisy. Harsh downshift. Odor comes from vents when ac is on. Sporadic climate control. ABS light illuminated, dealer replaced ABS module.
