I OWN A 1994 CHRYSLER LHS. ON JAN 2, 2011, I PARKED THE CAR AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. THE CAR HAD BEEN MAKING A STRANGE SOUND (LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR) FOR APPROX 2 MONTHS. I HAD SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY MECHANIC FOR JAN 4,2011. WHAT I THOUGHT WAS STEAM START RISING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, BUT THEN I SAW BRIGHT RED, YELLOW AND ORANGE FLAMES ALONG THE HOODS EDGE. MY PASSENGER AND I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND BEGAN RUNNING. WITHIN 15 SECONDS FLAMES SHOT 30 FEET IN THE AIR. I CALLED 911 AND FIRE AND POLICE RESPONDED. THE FIRE DEPT WAS THERE WITHIN MINUTES AND THE FIRE HAD ONLY BURNED APPROX 15 MINUTES. THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. JUST THE ENGINE BLOCK SAT ON THE TAR STREET. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID FOR THE FIRE TO HAVE BURNED SO HOT, SO FAST, IT MUST HAVE BEEN LEAKING FUEL FOR SEVERAL MONTHS OR EVEN A YEAR. HE ALSO TOLD ME ABOUT THE FUEL INJECTOR RECALL, THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS AND I ONLY CARRIED LIABILITY INSURANCE. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE. *TR

Mileage: 145,000

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN JUNE 06, CAR WAS OK, BARELY DROVE IT, WHEN THE SUMMER ARRIVED MORE DRIVING. CAR STARED TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, NUMEROUS TIME, CALLED TOW TRUCK, MECHANIC. MECHANIC SAYS CAR FUSE BLOWING, MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUE. COULD NOT FIND PART TO REPLACE WIRING CHASSIS AND HARNESS. SO I KEPT DRIVING THE CAR, SOMETIMES WHEN TURNING LEFT CAR DIES OUT, MIGHT RESTART BUT MIGHT NOT. PARKED THE CAR FOR A WHILE TO SELL, CANT GET A BUYER 4 AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. DROVE AGAIN, SAME TROUBLE ALMOST ALWAYS WHEN TURNING LEFT, ENGINE CONTROL FUSE 20AMPS, BLOWS OUT, REPLACE MAY RESTART MAY NOT. HAD AN ELECTRICAL SPECIALIST LOOK HE SAYS THIS WAS A RECALL, I CHECKED LOOKS LIKE MY CAR NOT IN THE VIN# SEQUENCE, CHRYSLER SAYS NO WAY WON'T HELP. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK, THE ENGINE AND CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE REMAINED FOR A MONTH. THE DEALER DETERMINED THE PROBLEM WAS THE COMPUTER MODULE (OR CHIP) AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED COUPLED WITH A FUEL INJECTION CLEANSE. TWO MILES LATER AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER THE VEHICLE PRESENTED THE SAME PROBLEM AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER.

1994 CHRYSLER LHS DEVELOPED A HAIR CRACK IN THE FUEL INJECTOR RAIL.*MR WHEN THE CONSUMER INQUIRED ABOUT THE RECALL, HE WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE O-RINGS, DESPITE WHAT THE INTERNET STATED AND THE O-RINGS ON THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPLACED IN THE PAST, SO THE CONSUMER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CURRENT PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER WHERE THEY HONORED THE RECALL. IN DEC 2004 WHILE DRIVING, THE FUEL PRESSURE HOSE BURST, THE CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE FIRST DEALER AND AGAIN INQUIRED ABOUT THE RECALL, ONCE AGAIN THE CONSUMER WAS DENIED THE RECALL REPAIR. THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHICH IS ALWAYS TURNED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT OR SOMETIME STRAIGHT. THE RACK BUSHING WERE REPLACED 3 ALIGNMENTS WERE PERFORMED. THE PROBLEM WAS THE ENTIRE FRAME UNDER THE HOOD MOVED WHEN THE WHEELS WERE TURNED. (RECALL 98V184000)*JB

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 NEED TO BE CHECKED OUT BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT.

VARIOUS PROBLEMS WITH 1994 CHRYSLER LHS. *MR THE MIRROR IN THE WINDSHIELD WAS TOO LOW AND OBSTRUCTED THE VISION OF THE DRIVER WHEN LOOKING TO THE RIGHT SIDE, THE FRONT END WAS BOUNCING AND WOBBLING IN THE FRONT END, THE FUEL PROBLEM CAUSED AN ODOR IN THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING COLUMN WAS DEFECTIVE. *SC *JB

DRIVER'S SIDE FUEL RAIL LEAKS ON 1994 CHRYSLER LHS WITH A 3.5L MOTOR.HAD DEALER FIX O-RING ON MOTOR.BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL CONCERNING THE THE PASSENGER SIDE FUEL RAIL. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE ORIGNAL RECALL. *AK

WHILE ON VACATION IN FLORIDA WE NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS INSIDE THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. AFTER LOOKING THE ENGINE OVER WE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR RAIL IN THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE WAS SQUIRTING GAS OUT ON BOTH SIDES. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE COMING TO FLORIDA ON THE LONG DRIVE THE CAR WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE! THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY TO MY FAMILY AND MYSELF. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF MY CAR WAS EVER RECALLED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? THIS HAS RUINED OUR TRIP TO ORLANDO AS WE MISSED OUR RESERVATION TIME DO TO THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE NO WAY HOME NOW.

AROUND 9/15/03 - MY 1994 LHS STARTED TO VIBRATE WHILE IDLING. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND ONE DAY I NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS. I TOOK IT TO MY REPAIR SHOP FOR REPAIR. HE HAD THE CAR FROM 10/7 TO 10/11 TRYING TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AND FINALLY REPAIRED IT. AFTER PAYING $433.89 FOR THE REPAIR, I LOOKED AT THE REPAIR HISTORY (THE CAR BELONGED TO MY HUSBAND) AND FOUND OUT THAT THE CAR HAD A O-RING RECALL IN 1999. THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED RUSS DARROW, AUTHORIZED CHRYSLER DEALER, ABOUT THE RECALL WORK AND THEY SAID THE REPAIR SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER THAN 4 YEARS. THEY WEREN'T WILLING TO DO ANYTHING SINCE I HAD WORK DONE BY ARCHER AUTO. I HAVE THE RECEIPTS FOR ALL REPAIR WORK. I WOULD LIKE TO GET A REFUND OF THE MONEY I PAID BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO VERIFY THAT THE WORK DONE WAS CORRECT AND THAT I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A FIRE FROM GAS LEAKING FROM THE O-RING. *LA

AS WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH, THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR BECAME FILLED WITH GASOLINE FUMES. WE GOT TO A PARKING LOT AND GASOLINE WAS FLOWING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IT WAS IN PUDDLES ON THE GROUND AND ON HORIZONTAL SURFACES OF THE ENGINE. IN JANUARY 1999 WE TOOK THE CAR TO BERT OGDEN AND HAD A O-RING REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL.

WE ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE RELIABILITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE ORIGINAL AND REPLACEMENT PARTS ON A CHRYSLER LHS WE PURCHASED NEW IN 19994. THE FOLLOWING ARE THE HIGH FAILURE PARTS AND SYSTEMS ON THE CAR: 1. WATER PUMP AND ASSOCIATED PARTS (2 TIMES) . IT HAS FAILED TWICE, THE FIRST TIME WAS AT 59,559 MILES WHEN IT FROZE UP AND TOOK THE TIMING BELT WITH IT. THE SECOND TIME THE PUMP DEVELOPED A LEAK AT 102,275 MILES, WHICH WAS 42,716 MILES ON THE REPLACEMENT PUMP. 2. DISC BRAKES AND ASSOCIATED PARTS (2 TIMES AND NEED TO BE TURNED AGAIN). THE ROTORS WARP DUE TO OVERHEAT FROM THE BRAKE PADS. THE FIRST TIME THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AT 56,441 MILES AND THEN AGAIN AT 84,347 MILES. RIGHT NOW THE CAR HAS 102,750 MILES AND THE ROTORS NEED TO BE TURNED AGAIN. 3. AIRCONDITIONING SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED PARTS (2 TIMES). THE AIRCONDITIONING SYSTEM EVAPORATOR COIL LEAKED AT 62,299 MILES, BUT WAS COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE EVAPORATOR COIL IS LEAKING AGAIN AT 102,750 MILES AND IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PROCEDURE IN THAT THE DASHBOARD HAS TO BE REMOVED. 4. FUEL RAIL AND ASSOCIATED PARTS (1 TIME). DUE TO A STRONG GAS SMELL THE FUEL RAIL WAS REPLACED. WHEN THE DEALER INSISTED THAT THE PROBLEM WASN'T COVERED BY WARRANTY, WE PAID TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. WE WERE LATER REIMBURSED BY CHRYSLER WHEN WE CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

DEALERSHIP DID NOT PERFORM RECALL REPAIR ON (98V-184) FUEL INJECTION O-RING AS CLAIMED, RESULTING IN VEHICLE FIRE. MJS
