1995 Chrysler New Yorker

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHING BRACKETS CAN CRACK DUE TO FATIGUE AND SEPARATE FROM THE ENGINE CRADLE.

Risk. IF THIS OCCURS, THE TRANSMISSION HALF-SHAFT COULD PULL OUT OF THE TRANSAXLE AND RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REINFORCE THE ENGINE CRADLE AT THE POINT WHERE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHES TO IT.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES BUILT WITH 3.5L ENGINES. THE FUEL INJECTION DELIVERY SYSTEM CAN LEAK FUEL FROM SOME OF THE SEALING O-RINGS OR FROM HAIR LINE CRACKS IN THE THERMOSET FUEL INJECTION RAIL.

Risk. FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL RAIL O-RINGS AND REINFORCE THE OUTLET (PASSENGER) SIDE FUEL RAIL. VEHICLES SHOWING FUEL LEAKAGE ON THE OUTLET FUEL RAIL MUST HAVE THE OUTLET RAIL REPLACED WHICH INCLUDES CHANGING THE UPPER AND LOWER INJECTOR O-RINGS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS OR FROM A CRACKED FUEL LINE, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE (OCTOBER 2016) FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO HAD IT UP UNTIL NOW. WE SMELLED GAS COMING IN THE VENTS WHEN IDLING AND WARMING UP. WE SAW VAPORS COMING OUT FROM THE HOOD AND THE STRONG GAS SMELL WAS CLEARLY INJECTOR LEAKING SOMEWHERE ON THE ENGINE AND COMING INTO THE CAB. WE TOOK IT TO A LOCAL AUTO DEALER AND THEY AGREED IMMEDIATELY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND EXPLAIN IT WAS FAULTY FUEL LINE BY CHRYSLER.

MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON IT, AND WHEN I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND ASKED THEM TO LOOK UP MY VIN NUMBER TO SEE IF MY CAR HAD BEEN PROPERLY SERVICED, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VIN I PROVIDED DID NOT HAVE A RECALL ON IT. I TOOK IT AS IF THEY WERE SAYING THE RECALL HAD BEEN PROPERLY HANDLED, BUT WHEN QUESTIONED FURTHER I WAS TOLD THAT MY SPECIFIC CAR DID NOT HAVE A RECALL AT ALL. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I HAD SEEN WHERE THE 95 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER HAD A FUEL SYSTEM RECALL. THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT I WAS CORRECT BUT MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THAT RECALL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND AND WOULD LIKE FURTHER EXPLANATION. *TR

COMPLETE STEERING FAILURE ON 1995 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER. *TR

CRUISE LIGHT COMES ON; ENGINE SHUTS DOWN; DURING HIGHWAY DRIVE. *AK

BUSHING WORN OUT CAUSING THE STEERING TO BE LOOSE AND RESULTING IN TIRE WEAR. NLM

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE THE TWO BOLTS THAT HOLD THE SHORT RACK TO THE FRAME SHEERED OFF AT THE FRAME CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING. THE NEW BOLTS OBTAINED FROM CHRYSLER WERE GOLD IN COLOR INSTEAD OF BLACK LIKE THE ORIGINALS WHICH INDICATED TO MY MECHANIC THAT THE NEW ONES HAD A DIFFERENT HEAT TREATING PROCESS. I HAVE THE BOLTS AND PIECES PLUS PICTURES OF SAME AND WILL PROVIDE EITHER UPON REQUEST. HAD I NOT BEEN IN A PARKING LOT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DESASTER. WHILE I HAVE RECEIVED OTHER RECALL NOTICES FOR THIS CAR I NEVER RECEIVED ONE ON THIS.

STEERING NOISE WHEN TURNING WHEEL LEFT TO RIGHT, BUSHINGS ARE BAD AND RACK AND PINION NEEDS REPLACEING ACCORDING TO MECHANIC SAID SUCH WEAR IS UNUSUALLY FOR CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILES - DEALER, MAKER AWARE OF PROBLEM SAID IT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS A RECALL IS FORCED ON THEM - LOSE OF STEERING IS A SAFETY ISSUE
