Defect. FEDERAL MOGUL IS RECALLING 6,903 AFTERMARKET BALL JOINT ASSEMBLIES SHIPPED BETWEEN NOVEMBER 9, 2007 AND MARCH 26, 2008, WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN PACKAGED WITH INCORRECT NUTS.

Risk. THE NUTS INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGING FOR THESE BALL JOINT ASSEMBLIES ARE MISSING THE INTENDED PREVAILING TORQUE (SELF-LOCKING) FEATURE. IF THE INCORRECT NUT WAS TO BECOME LOOSE, THE JOINING MEMBERS MAY LOOSEN LEADING TO A SEPARATION OF THE BALL JOINT. THIS MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

THIS IS THE THIRD TRANS. FAILURE IN THE 102,700 MILES ON THE VEHICLE TRANS. #1 LASTED 42,000 MILES , TRANS. #2 LASTED 27,000 MILES AND TRANS. #3 LASTED 29,000 MILES I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE. MY SERVICE HAS BEEN DONE ON THE REPLACEMENT OF EACH OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS AT WARREN CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH AND I HAVE PAID 1/2 THE BILL ON #2 & #3 AND CHRYSLER HAS PAID FOR THE OTHER 1/2 ON EACH. IT STILL COSTS ME APPROXIMATELY $800.00 TO $900.00 DOLLARS EACH TIME. MY SERVICE MANUAL SAYS TO HAVE THE FLUID AND THE FILTER CHANGED EVERY 30,000 MILES BUT I NEVER SEE 30,000 MILES BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION IS DESTROYED. I READ AN ARTICLE IN CONSUMER REPORT THAT SAID CHRYSLER CORP. KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NEVER ISSUED A RECALL, THEY JUST KEEP PAYING FOR 1/2 OF THE REPLACEMENT COST. I BELIEVE IT HAS NOW REACHED THE TIME FOR SOMEONE TO CHALLENGE CHRYSLER CORP. AND DEMAND THAT A RECALL BE ISSUED FOR THOSE VEHICLES STILL ON THE ROAD WHICH MAY FAIL AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN PROVIDE TO ME REGUARDING HOW MANY REPORTS YOU HAVE CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM OR WHO CAN BE CONTACTED AT CHRYSLER CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASES AND HOPE THAT THE PERSON INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IS NOT MYSELF OR MY SPOUCE. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE AND I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONCE.

DOCUMENTS FROM SAFETYBELTSAFE USA STATE ALL VEHICLES MANUFACTURED SINCE 1989 ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE SHOULDER BELTS IN BACK SEATS. OUR 1990 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER HAS ONLY LAP BELTS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER (RAPPAHANNOCK) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE VAN TO INSTALL SHOULDER BELTS. I CONTACTED ANOTHER LOCAL DEALER WHO STATED IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE AND WILL REQUIRE ME TO GO IN FOR AN ESTIMATE. IF THE INFORMATION FROM SAFETYBELTSAFE USA IS TRUE, SHOULDN'T THE COST OF THE INSTALLATION FALL ON THE MANUFACTURER? *AK

THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FAILED, CAUSING A POTENTAL LIFE THREATING CONDITION TO MANY HUMAN LIVES. AS I WAS TRAVELING THOUGH THE HOLLAND TUNNEL IN NYC. THE COMPUTER ON THE SAID VEHICLE FAILED TO GIVE THE PROPER SINGNAL TO THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, GIVING A MASSIVE EXSPENDITURE OF FUEL TO EXIT THE VEHICLE VIA THE EXHUST SYSTEM. WITH THE GRACE OF GOD THE ALLMIGHTY , THE VEHICLE MADE ITS JOURNEY OUT OF THE TUNNEL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AT A SAID GARAGE , THE MACHANICS STATED THAT IT ALMOST BURNT THERE SHOP DOWN. BUT THEY SMELLED RAW FUEL AND RESPONDED CORRECTLY. THEY REPORTED TO ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EX\PELLING SOMEWHERE AROUND A CUP OF FUEL EVERY 2 SEC. HOWEVER , THIS WAS NEVER SEEN BEFORE ,BY ANYONE OF THE 12 MACHANICS ON DUTY. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION, WHEN TAKING INTO COSIDERATION THAT THIS VICHICLES PASSENGERS SEEMS TO BE CHILDREN. PLEASE INVESTAGATE THIS SITUATION AT ONCE. I KNOW THAT THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE THAN IT WAS. THANK YOU. *AK
