1994 Chrysler LHS electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 37 of 37, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Frame of vehicle is weak and is moving under steering gear. Cause is unknown. *ak consumer states that he replaced the rack and pinion and in doing so, found that the wiring harness that goes from the solenoid control module and the solenoid control valve had been put in between the crossmember and the rack and pinion, a bolt had cut and shorted out the harness, this is the bolt that holds the mount of the rack and pinion, while turning the wheel to the left and right, the master cylinder and rack and pinion move, dealer recomended replacement of the rack bushings and right sway bar link, however stated the steering was not a problem.
When traveling on highway vehicle will shut off without prior warning. Also, consumer smelled smoke inside of vehicle. Dealership was aware of problem. *ak consumer feels this should be included in recall #611.
Right steering tie rod has rubbed through transmission harness, causing a short circuit which resulted in an electrical system malfunction. A recall has been issued on vehicle's make and model. However, this vehicle was not included due to VIN. Vehicle was repaired at the owner's expense.
While driving the vehicle suddenly slowed down and almost came to a complete stop, the mechanic found the problem to be the wires under the front bumper, the plastic wire protector is not produced to be completely closed therefor it allows dirt and water to gather inside of it, this debris rubbed against the wires weakening them. Nlm
While driving vehicle stalled unexpectedly which could have caused a crash. Also, problems with electrical door lock. Sometimes key wont come out of ignition. Recall 94v0240000 dealt with this problem; but this vehicle was not included in recall due to VIN. Please provide further information.
Replaced transmission twice. Mechanic thinks problem is connected to wiring harness. Electrical system of vehicle is irratic, gauges quit, and vehicle stalls.
Intermittently when accelerating to pass another vehicle transmission downshifts. When letting off the accelerator, transmission shifts up. Vehicle surges and stalls. Also, crank sensor was replaced last week, but the problem came back. Problem was reported to the dealership. Problem seems to be related to recall campaign 94v024000. Please provide any further information.
Electrical system malfunctions causing vehicle to stall while in motion. Also causing starter not to operate. I have been told by chrysler,that even though 110,00 vehicles were recalled because of this defect(campaign number 611), my vehicle is not one of those recalled.
While driving vehicle would constantly stall without warning. Vehicle was towed home, restarted & drove to dealership. Informed by mechanic a tune up was needed, which was done. Half hour later, stopped for fuel & vehicle would not restart. Problem happened more than 7 different times. Vehicle was not included under recall #94v024000/ electrical wiring due to VIN. Parts have been replaced, but problem not solved. Crankshaft sensor was replaced at consumer's cost.
The part listed above was smoking while I was driving. When I turned the car off, it wouldn't start again. *ak possibly something froze and caused the belt (pulley) to melt.
