THE WALL OF THE FLARED FITTING OF THE FUEL PUMP IS NOT THICK ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE MATING THREADED FITTINGS FROM BOTTOMING OUT BEFORE AN ADEQUATE SEAL IS ACHIEVED. THIS CONDITION MAY RESULT IN LEAKAGE OF FUEL AT THE CONNECTION OF THE VEHICLE FUEL LINE AND THE FUEL PUMP MODULE ASSEMBLY.

Risk. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A FUEL LEAK COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Remedy. AIRTEX WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMPS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JULY 2007. OWNERS CAN CONTACT AIRTEX AUTOMOTIVE AT 800-880-3056.

SILICONE MATERIAL USED IN MANUFACTURE OF THE FLAPPER VALVE WAS OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION, LEADING TO EXCESS SWELL OF THE FLAPPER VALVE RESTRICTING THE FLOW OF FUEL TO THE FUEL PUMP MODULE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE LOWER LATERAL ARM BALL JOINT FOR WEAR. BALL JOINTS THAT EXHIBIT WEAR BEYOND THE ESTABLISHED TOLERANCE WILL BE REPLACED WITH NEWLY DESIGNED LATERAL ARM BALL JOINTS. BALL JOINTS THAT ARE WITHIN THE ESTABLISHED TOLERANCE WILL BE CLEANED AND A SPECIAL SEALANT WILL BE APPLIED TO PREVENT INTRUSION OF MOISTURE.

MY 95 CHRYSLER SEBRING HAS A SQUEAKING NOISE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TOWARDS THE BACK TIRES I HAD IT CHECKED OUT THEY SAID THE RUBBER PIECE ON BY BALL JOINT IS GONE SO THE NOISE IS FROM THE METAL RUBBING AND TO BE CAREFUL CAUSE IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF NOT FIXED THE BALLJOINT WILL COME OFF AND TIRES. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY APR'S SHIFTING OUT OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING THAT I'VE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT COUPLE TIMES I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE CAR THAT'S ALL I HAVE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 CHRYSLER SEBRING. SHE STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH WHEN THE WHOLE WHEEL AND THE BALL JOINTS CAME OFF OF THE AXLE, THE VEHICLE FELL ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL AUTO SHOP TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IT WAS THE BALL JOINT CV AXLE THAT FAILED. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY GAVE HER A CASE NUMBER STATING THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL HER BACK . NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER, 00V421002, SUSPENSION FRONT CONTROL ARM, LOWER BALL JOINT IS RELATED TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, CHRYSLER STATED THAT THEY WOULD INFORM HER IF THE VEHICLE QUALIFIES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 152,000.

DT: THE INJECTORS LEAKED. ALSO, THERE WAS A FUEL SMELL IN THE VEHICLE. WAS NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THE LEAKAGE. THE CONSUMER FOUND THIS OUT WHEN HE WENT TO GET THE BRAKES REPAIRED. THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2005. THE SMELL HAD BEEN THEIR FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS OFF AND ON. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS AS OF YET. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. *AK

I WISH YOU WOULD RECALL THE FUEL RAIL WHICH CONNECTS TO MY CHRYSLER SEBRING LXI 2.5 COUPE,WHY, BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE WITH JUST A SPARK IT ALSO LEAKS AND I HAVE MY KIDS TO THINK ABOUT. FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD THIS HAPPENS TO A LOT OF SEBRINGS. I'D RATHER FILE A COMPLAINT BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS RATHER THEN WAIT TILL ITS TOO LATE. *NM

THE ABS MODULATOR PUMP FAILED JUST AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE "AS IS". I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHO HAD IT ALL DAY BEFORE DECIDING THAT THE PUMP WAS OUT, A $1600 REPAIR. I COULD NOT AFFORD THAT, NOR UNDERSTAND WHY IT HAD HAPPENED SO SOON, SO I FOUND A USED PUMP, AND PAYED TO HAVE IT INSTALLED. THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND IT WORKED FINE. TWO MONTHS LATER, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND PAYED THEM AGAIN, AND AGAIN THEY SAID IT WAS THE PUMP. NOW THE LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON AND GOES OFF. WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THESE THINGS, AND WHY DO THEY COST SO MUCH? THERE ARE SIMPLY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE TO IGNORE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL ALMOST DETACHED FROM VEHICLE CAUSING DAMAGE TO VEHICLE, INSTEAD OF PERFORMING SAFETY RECALL 00V-421, DEALER REPLACED A NUT AT CONSUMER'S EXPENSE, CONSUMER IS REQUESTING A REFUND. *TT

MY TWO BIGGEST CONCERNS ARE THE DOOR PANELS AND PASSENGER AIR BAG. I SAW THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS MY CAR YESTERDAY AND THE SAME DOOR PANEL WAS MISSING ON THAT CAR ALSO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE DOOR PANEL SIMPLY BLEW OFF AS WE WERE GOING DOWN THE ROAD, POSING A THREAT FOR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THE PASSENGER PANEL IS LOOSE. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LOOKS AS THOUGH IT IS ABOUT TO DEPLOY. THE CORNERS ARE TURNED UP. PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO RIDE IN MY FRONT SEAT DUE TO THE DANGER THE AIR BAG COULD DEPLOY. THESE ARE BOTH SAFETY ISSUES. I HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF DOOR PARTS. THANK YOU.*AK
