Which Chrysler New Yorker years should you avoid?

Going by 589 owner complaints filed with NHTSA, the Chrysler New Yorker years to avoid are 1994.

  • 1994215 complaints, 2.7× a typical New Yorker year, most often about the fuel system.

How this is worked out: each year is compared with a typical year of the same model, which takes most of the difference in sales out of it, and its share of serious failures is compared with every other car of the same model year, because older cars were complained about differently. A year needs 25 complaints to be judged at all. Complaints are unverified owner reports. Full method →
