1994 Chrysler LHS fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 81, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Around 9/15/03 - my 1994 lhs started to vibrate while idling. The problem got worse and one day I noticed the smell of gas. I took it to my repair shop for repair. He had the car from 10/7 to 10/11 trying to determine the problem and finally repaired it. After paying $433.89 for the repair, I looked at the repair history (the car belonged to my husband) and found out that the car had a o-ring recall in 1999. That was supposed to have fixed the problem. I contacted russ darrow, authorized chrysler dealer, about the recall work and they said the repair should have lasted longer than 4 years. They weren't willing to do anything since I had work done by archer auto. I have the receipts for all repair work. I would like to get a refund of the money I paid but more importantly I would like someone to verify that the work done was correct and that I am not going to have a problem with a fire from gas leaking from the o-ring.
The recall which was performed regarding the fuel injection failed. Recall # 98 v 184 000
Consumer state while traveling notice engine running rough and fuel smell around the engine vehicle was service by dealer. Technician notice that the o rings had harding around the injectors and that was causing the fuel leak. Please provide further information.
Consumer had recall 99v215000 repaired for a leaking fuel rail repaired previously. However, there was a fuel smell present in passenger's compartment. Upon examination it was found that fuel rail was leaking fuel on top of the engine and pooling there. A private mechanic was currently fixing this problem. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
A fire under vehicle while wating at a stop light. Fire started from a fuel leakage underneath vehicle, manufacturer notified, and informed consumer that vehicle was covered under a recall. Consumer wanted to know why she was not notified of recall, and what recourse does she have on this matter? Asking the federal safety agency help on this matter. Please feel free to provide any further details.
Vehicle is leaking gas out of the engine, consumer said it is fuel injection o-ring.
We have had numerous problems with the 94 chrysler. The antenna is inoperable, the third brake light is inoperable, the driver's seat is inoperable, the gas light jumps up & down all the time. The ABS/trac off light stays on all the time, the driver side mirror does not go down. I know that all these problems are not just with my vehicle. I have talked to other owners of chryslers and they are having similar problems....please advise me what I can do about this
Chrysler dealer told consumer there was a national back order for fuel rail o ring, and fuel outlet rail.
Consumer could not have repair made on recalled leaky o-ring because dealer stated that consumers claim did not meet the required condition of the recall (98v184000). Nlm

As we were driving at about 30 MPH, the interior of the car became filled with gasoline fumes. We got to a parking lot and gasoline was flowing from under the hood. It was in puddles on the ground and on horizontal surfaces of the engine. In january 1999 we took the car to bert ogden and had a o-ring replaced due to a recall. The parking lot was by sears and the mechanics there said it appeared that some type of o-ring on the fueld injection system had failed.
Front end suspension out of alignment. Mjs
We are not satisfied with the reliability and performance of the original and replacement parts on a chrysler lhs we purchased new in 19994. The following are the high failure parts and systems on the car: 1. Water pump and associated parts (2 times) . It has failed twice, the first time was at 59,559 miles when it froze up and took the timing belt with it. The second time the pump developed a leak at 102,275 miles, which was 42,716 miles on the replacement pump. 2. Disc brakes and associated parts (2 times and need to be turned again). The rotors warp due to overheat from the brake pads. The first time the rotors were turned at 56,441 miles and then again at 84,347 miles. Right now the car has 102,750 miles and the rotors need to be turned again. 3. Airconditioning system and associated parts (2 times). The airconditioning system evaporator coil leaked at 62,299 miles, but was covered by an extended warranty. The evaporator coil is leaking again at 102,750 miles and is not covered by warranty. This is a very expensive procedure in that the dashboard has to be removed. 4. Fuel rail and associated parts (1 time). Due to a strong gas smell the fuel rail was replaced. When the dealer insisted that the problem wasn't covered by warranty, we paid to have the problem fixed. We were later reimbursed by chrysler when we called their customer service.
