I LOOKED UP 5 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE, 1991 CHRYSLER, LEBARON CONVERTIBLE. MY COMPLAINT IS I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THESE RECALLS AND TODAY I EXPERIENCE THE BAD BRAKES WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO DIE IN A COLLISION FROM MY BRAKES GOING OUT AND PROBLEMS TO MY REAR WHEEL. *TR

DEFECTIVE A604 ULTRADRIVE TRANSMISSION, IN 1991 CHRYSLER LEBARON CONVERTIBLE. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO REPAIR OR HONOR REPAIRS. THEY NEVER MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT A RE CALL. THEY CLAIMED THE VEHICLE HAD EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE ALLOWED AND WARRANTY. THIS WAS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT ON CHRYSLER'S BEHALF. NEARLY ALL TRANSMISSION FAIL AFTER 20,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE BECOMES STUCK INTO SECOND GEAR..AND SHIFTS VIOLENTLY. THE CAUSES MORE STRESS ON THE ENGINE. THE REPAIRS WOULD BE QUITE EXPENSIVE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT CHRYSLER LATER RE NAMED THIS TRANSMISSION TO THE 41TE.THIS MUST HAVE BEEN DONE TO DRAW ATTENTION AWAY FROM THIS ILL FATED TRANSMISSION. VERY SNEAKY. *PH

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
