What is wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the floor shifter ignition-park interlock may fail and allow the shifter to be moved out of the park position with the key removed. An inoperative interlock may also allow the key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the park position.
Risk: Either circumstance may result in the vehicle rolling away without warning.
Remedy: Dealers will install a new load-limiting push rod into the floor shifter lever of the affected vehicles. Owner notification began on june 14, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403.

The manufacturer reports above are based on daimlerchrysler?s (dc) analysis of model year (my) 1998 (population = 356,384) and 1999 (population = 486,948) ja, jx and lh family subject vehicle data (earlier mys excluded).the population number includes all mys.the precise number of duplicates between odi and dc reports cannot be determined due to missing or incomplete information.the fatality incident involved an elderly person who attempted to stop a roll away vehicle and received fatal injuries.odi also gathered information on my 1997-99 prowler vehicles in this investigation. The prowler vehicles were manufactured with a different design shifter mechanism (the shift lever is shorter).there are no complaints of prowler interlock failure in odi?s database, and dc has received no reports either.the prowler is excluded from the recall scope.the investigation involved a condition where the interlock system could fail (or be made inoperative by the operator) during vehicle use, possibly inadvertently.the interlock system is required under fmvss 114.with the transmission in the park position and the ignition key off, the combined action of pressing the shift button and pulling the shift lever rearward may result in the operator overcoming the interlock system and cause the mechanical linkage of the system to disconnect.when this occurs, there is no overt indication to an operator that the system is defeated, and an increased risk of vehicle roll-away exists.under recall 04v021, dc will replace damaged shift mechanisms, and will install on all vehicles a device which inhibits the operator?s ability to overcome the interlock and defeat the system.beginning with my 2000, dc incorporated a brake and transmission shifter interlock (btsi) system into the subject vehicles.introduction of btsi involved design changes to the shift mechanism, one of which resulted in reduced mechanical advantage (rma) of the shift button.the rma shifter requires increased forces to overcome the interlock system, making the shifter less susceptible to damage.

My heater only blows hot air, fuel can be smelled while vechile is running, mil code 12,11,41 have been displayed,fog or mist coats the inside windows everyday,the front end of my car feel like it's going to rip loose.

I inspected under the hood of my car and found a large puddle of gasoline gathered on top of my front differentail housing.I called dwayne lanes dodge of everett and was told that there has never been any recalls for my car. My car still over heats,stalls,shutsdown while in motion,smells of gasoline,surges,and the rack and pinnion slide out of the lame rubber gaskets that mount them to the frame of my car whenever I turn a corner.

This 1994 chrysler has had constant problems, most recent being the windhsield wipers flew up and stuck while on the freeway in the rain going 55mph. Exhaust smells bad, starter is bad, air conditioner ticks when turned off for a few seconds. As a newly single mother of 4 boys looking for employment that I can get to and from reliably, so I can take care of my family myself eventually, the last thing I ever should have to worry about is a car that is only 10 years old. Especially since chrysler is showing all the beatiful new chrysler products I will never be able to have. I love my car, but I am more than disappointed in what I still have $3,000 left to pay on a used car.

The transmission in my car failed on 5/6/02. The failure consisted of two types. In one type of failure, the transmission would act like it was in neutral when it was actually in drive, while traveling at highway speeds of 60 MPH. In the second type of failure, the car would not shift above second gear. I called my local chrysler dealer to ask if the transmission would be repaired for free, and was told no. Subsequently, I had a chrysler rebuilt transmission installed by an independent garage at a cost of almost $2500.00. This rebuilt transmission came with a 3 year/36,000 mile chrysler warranty. In less than two months (and 1600 miles) this transmission failed in the exact same way. The independent garage installed a new chrysler rebuilt transmission at no cgarge to me. I feel there is ample evidence that the transmission in this vehicle is of inferior design and/or workmanship. If you have ever had your transmission fail in this manner while traveling at highway speeds you know it is definitely a safety hazard. I feel that chrysler should reimburse me for some if not all of the $2500.00 that I paid to fix this product.

Headlight lens cover that becomes fogged on the inside is a very serious problem. The replacement cost is $175.00 each making very exspensive to mantain. The original should be glass,this would make it less dangerous for night driving. I went to a dealer about transmission, but they said there was no recall on that. Imformation I received from you it is supposed to be repaired at no cost???? Help !!!

Consumer complained about the transmission on numerous occasions while under warranty. There was a newspaper article which stateed the same problems the consumer was experiencing which included poor shifting or transfer gear whining. The only solace given was to bring the vehicle in if it got worse. When it did, the vehicle was out of warranty and consumer would have to pay out of pocket. After phoning the chrysler corp., consumer was only responsible for the parts in which he claims he should not have had to pay anything. Consumer wants to know if he has any recourse in this situation.
