What 1990 Chrysler Fifth Avenue owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Abs: anti-lock brake light always come on, chrysler said no problem. Abs brake failed, pedal goes to the floor and hit a car. Paid chrysler $780.75 to replace antilock brake controller. Brake light comes on again, brake pedal goes to floor and chrysler wants to repair the car for $2400 to change ABS system. Informed chrysler about the recall regarding ABS system unit defect, but denied request because they said part number is different. Car is inoperative since december 17, 2004.
Bad gas mileage, hard to start, smelled gas. Dealer found leak coming from fuel rack. Could have started on fire while my 18 year old daughter was driving it to work. $245 for the rack plus $$$ for o-rings, gasket & hoses, not to mention labor. Heard & read of many similar complaints. Should have been a recall. Sounds like a defect to me!!
Fuel leakage from fuel rail
Consumer called complaining about having problems with fuel rail. Also stated that the fuel rail is leaking gas. Dealer was contacted and thee is nothing they can do because there is no recall. Ts
Consumer was approaching an intersection applied brakes and ABS braking system light came on. Brakes didn't hold. Also, calipers/ rotors, and pads were replaced. Dealership was aware of problem.
The fuel injection manifold failed at two swagged fittings causing a high pressure fuel leak. Upon smelling fuel while driving the car I pulled over and found the two swagged fittings on the manifold pouring gas in the engine. I shut down the engine and had the car towed to huntington beach chrysler and they replaced the entire manifold for $700.00 which I think is outrages because I feel this is a design defect because just prior to the fuel smell the car backfired twice. I wonder how many more people had the same problem and the dealers have not reported it. By the design I know I am not the only person to have this problem. There must be many, many, many more out there.
Cracked fuel rail discovered during routine maintenance/ replacement part not immediately available. Factory is shipping over 700 to dealers? Will not be available until 01/??/2001. High fire hazard. Vehicle has been in shop more than a week, VIN # not available to me at this time.
Ignition switch continued to overheat. Ignition switch has been replaced 3 times.*ak the fourth switch was installed and there is an electrical engineering defect, according to the consumer.
I bought the car with 20,000 miles on it. The car has had failures of the transaxle shifted down into limp mode or second gear and staying there. I feel there is a design flaw with the electronically controlled shifting of this transaxle and should be re-called. I have had the transaxle completely rebuilt, the computer and sensors replaced and two different times the dealer reported he fixed a connector problem. As an engineer for a semiconductor conmpany, I feel the electronic components are going into a thermal shutdown. All the failures have occurred while driving on the highway in the hot texas heat. The last dealership I had repair the transaxle assured me that there was no problems with these trans axles. He lied.
