What owners say
Aprox. 2 months ago I took my 1994 chrysler lhs to the dealer due to the traction control system light and the ABS light were on. The dealer determined the problem was the " brake pedal travel sensor" , on the brake booster. I was advised the part is no longer available from chrysler. It was discontinued, after 1995, but it was 2005, so the 10 year rule on parts should not have been imposed yet.
Abs sensor failure, was informed by the auto body shop that this should have not gone bad when it did. Because of the sensor failing it was causing my ABS system not to work. I could not replace just the sensor I had to replace the whole module which cost me over $1000.
Petition for investigation of 1996 chrysler lhs defective fuel rails. *bf petition is to also investigate the ABS and the frame construction/alignment. The vehilce's windshiled exploded on the driver's side below the windshield wipers. The vehicle's fuel rails leaked gasoline. The brake fluid in the master cylinder was contaminated.
Abs and traction lights came on while consumer was traveling at around 25-30 MPH. Also, noise was more apparent when slowing and at low speeds. Contacted dealer, and dealer replaced tie rods / anti-lock brakes, and relay ABS pump. But, problem still occurred.
Abs and traction control module failed. Contacted dealer, and dealer has tryed to get part in, but nothing so far.
Abs braking light stayed on while driving, indicating a problem with the ABS braking system. Dealer has seen vehicle, but said ABS out of warranty
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
Ongoing / intermittent problem with ABS light coming on and causing brake failure. Pedal would go the floor, causing extended stopping or vehicle would keep on going. Vehicle been in / out of dealer shop on four occasions, and repairs were made on two occasions, and problem still reoccurring.
The transmission disengages by itself when slowing down to exit off of a ramp after achieving highway speeds. The driver is "standing" at a light and the car will disengage, "jerk" back into gear, lunging the car into the intersection if the driver is not steady on the brake. Also, the lhs will, after coming off highway speeds for a period of time, or, if driving a slow speed for a period of time, say through a residential neighborhood, disengage, then lunge when it re-engages not allowing the transmission to switch to a higher gear, remaining in first gear until the car is turned off and re-started. I originally thought that the transmission was working in conjunction with the ABS braking system. However, it is apparent that an unweary driver will not know how to respond to the transmission disengagement, possibly trying to accelerate past a car when the transmission is already disengaged and in neutral, causing a severe lung once the transmission re-engages. I have contacted the chrysler-mopar web-site to see if this transmission problem is re-occuring in other owner's cars; the response to the number of complaints on this transmission problem is evident throughout the last four years of this chrysler model. Thank you in advance for your time and attention to this matter.
