“Safety alert: while driving, a bolt holding the rack and pinion arm sheared off and the steering failed ! ! ! The steering completely failed. It was inoperable. When I called Chrysler customer service they hung up on me... We just bought a toyota.”
NHTSA complaint #10070175, filed 2004-01, 60,500 miles“In july 2004, I purchased a used '94 Chrysler LHS w/95,000 miles in very good condition (exterior/interior) but within the first few weeks I experienced electrical problems (electric current not going to gauges, gauges going haywire), transmission problems (periodic 'limp mode', car erratically surging) and steering problems (rack 7 pinion, inner/outer tie rods). Within a few months I replaced the inner/outer tie rods and front/rear stabilizer links that all improved my front suspension. …”
NHTSA complaint #10146729, filed 2006-01, 124,500 miles“On february 2002, 2 bolts connecting to the rack and pinion and tie rods snapped in half and nearly caused me to crash my vehicle. The snapping of the bolts caused the malfunction of the rack and pinion and I had to replace the rack and pinion plus the bolts (from Chrysler). On january 23, 2004 , the exact malfunction occurred again almost causing another accident. I can't understand how a solid steel bolt manufactured by Chrysler can snap in half after only 2 years. I have owned other automobiles older than the Chrysler LHS and never had a bolt break in half at any time. …”
NHTSA complaint #10055122, filed 2004-01, 126,646 miles“Dt: contact owns a 1994 Chrysler LHS. While the contact's daughter was driving vehicle skidded, and when she turned the wheel, it would not turn. A mechanic pulled up behind and told the contact that it could be rack and pinion steering. If any vehicles had been on the road there could have been a collision.”
NHTSA complaint #10140027, filed 2005-10, 120,000 miles“This car had a bumper to bumper 60,000 mile warranty - transmission and air conditioning should have been covered 100% I did not purchase this vehicle from vandynhoven's only had it serviced through them. They are reimbursing me 50% on the airconditioning because Chrysler has agreed to pay 50% but I feel that the evaporator core was warranteed up to 70,000 miles and now I'm at 71,700 and they aren't covering it in full. The car was brought in at least 2 times while under warranty with air problems ? …”
