I purchased the car in june 06, car was ok, barely drove it, when the summer arrived more driving. Car stared to shut off while driving the vehicle, numerous time, called tow truck, mechanic. Mechanic says car fuse blowing, major electrical issue. Could not find part to replace wiring chassis and harness. So I kept driving the car, sometimes when turning left car dies out, might restart but might not. Parked the car for a while to sell, cant get a buyer 4 an electrical issue. Drove again, same trouble almost always when turning left, engine control fuse 20amps, blows out, replace may restart may not. Had an electrical specialist look he says this was a recall, I checked looks like my car not in the VIN# sequence, chrysler says no way won't help.

Windshield wiper stops working (no power) during rainstorm. It's very dangerous to change lanes to the shoulder in the rain without wipers. Slamming hood starts wipers again. All gauges (speed, tack, gas etc) either go full on/off or stop at 1/2 actual speed/ RPM without any apparent reason. At the same time, the seat belt and air bag lights illuminate. Pounding on dash sometimes returns the gauges. Turning off the engine and re-starting correct the gauges/lights but not the wipers. Car is at dealers for repair and they can not find problem(s).

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. Just recently about a month ago, I had my local dodge dealer replace one broken transmission mount ($305) then the following week at 124,500 miles while driving to work on my local highway my transmission failed, which resulted in loss of power steering and loss of drive gears, I was able to exit safely onto my jobs parking lot before it finally gave out. I had it towed to an exclusive auto transmission shop, they had to rebuild/overhaul the transmission and torque converter ($1,800). A whopping $2,100 in repairs in about a month. There went my christmas money.

Dt: the consumer states that the car is locking and unlocking, the door locks by itself. The trunk is also opening by itself. The owner has not taken the vehicle to have it looked at yet. She has called the dealership to check on recalls and there were not any on her car, according to her dealership. The owner bought the car used from a friend and she is also the third owner. The previous owner put in a new motor. The manufacturer has not been contacted. This has been happening with the trunk for about three weeks and the lock for about a week. The owner is locking her car doors at night and the next morning the car is unlocked and the trunk was open. She is going to have the car checked today, but she doesn't want to pay $85.00 to have the car looked at and checked. This car is a 1994 chrysler lhs. The owner suggests that this is an electrical problem. The information is all that the consumer had available to her. The owner has the vehicle regularly maintained.

This is the second 1994 lhs I've had, and the same problems have occured on both cars.someone needs to listen to complaints before there is a loss of someones life. Which I came very close to the racket pinion and tie rod.another few miles and we might not be here today.there is also problems with the heater and AC not working,cant shut it off,turn it on change it fromheat to AC.hood problems. Timing belt.so many things have went wrong with both these cars and they both were 1994 ch-lhs.dont have the dates in front of me when all the things happened.I had trouble with this car 3 days after I bought it. And the last one I put money into it one time after another another,someone hit it and it was totaled out.I will never own another. Any chrysler .thought I was getting a nice car,got 2 lemons.just think they need to be checked out before someone is hurt.

Bad ignition switch... I have had 2 of these cars and same thing on both. The transmission will not shift, lights on dash and speedometer wouldn't work... Put in new transmission... Still would not shift... Had the ignition switch changed... Now it works. How many people put in new transmissions? When it is the ignition switch? Since this has happened on both of my cars I believe it is a default.
