I noticed a gas smell while driving and thought that since I had recently put gas into the vehicle that that was what I smelled. The smell persisted and I had the hood open and I noticed that gas was gushing out of the front middle part of the engine. My engine light had come on and it was flashing on and off so I parked it and it now sits. I rely on my car to get to work. I was told that a fire could start and I feared for my safey and others around me.

I had the check engine light come on. I checked it on a computer and it said misfire on cylinder one. It was running very rough and a family friend is a service manager for a chrysler dealership on the mainland, I live in hawaii. He said that it sounds like it very likely could be related to recall # 98v184000. I took it into, cutter dodge chrysler jeep in pearl city hawaii, in hopes that they would be able to take care of the recall. A few days later they told me there was a problem with the wires and spark plugs and to come and pick up my car. When I arrived at the dealership the car was not running, granted when I dropped it off it was running rough but it was running nevertheless. I had to have it towed off of the lot and when I took it back to my house I changed the spark plugs and wires. I still had a check engine light on, when I drove the car for a couple of days. I know that it may take a couple of trips to reset the computer. When the check engine light would not go off I wanted to check and see how the fuel injectors were. That is when I found that there was gas under the fuel rail, and the fuel rail has cracks around where the fuel injectors sit. I took the parts to the chrysler dealership and they had the parts for a couple of weeks it went from the gentleman that I was working with in the service department to his manager to tom smith who ultimately said he would not help me with this recall. The fuel injectors are definitely leaking and there are cracks on the fuel rail.

Today when I started to drive my 2000 lhs, it would not shift to the highest gear. The RPM's remained very high. The speedometer stays at zero. The overhead instrument panel does not work. The malfunction indicator light comes on and stays on. I proceeded to drive a short distance. When coming to a stop or when slowing around a corner, the oil light comes on and I lose power steering and the engine stalls. I cannot drive the car. I will contact the dealer (bermont motors, gilbertsville, pa) immediately. My 1994 lhs had total transmission failure and needed a whole new transmission. My car was bought in december 1999 and I only have 37,000 miles on it. Besides this, the molding around one door and around one headlamp is coming off. The black trim is discolored. I am quickly loosing my confidence & dependibility in chrysler products. I doubt if I will ever buy another chrysler car.

Our 1999 chrysler lhs suffered what our mechanic said was a "catastrophic" transimission failure. The service engine light came on and the transmission stopped shifting properly and remained in low gear. The transmission had to be completely re-built and the system flushed due to the large volume of metal shavings. Because this happen outside the 3/36,000 warranty period, chrysler would not cover the cost of the repairs.

Recently the engine light has come on and we have taken the car to the rice marko chrysler dealership in greensboro, nc. They were unable to determine the cause.

We were advised by a local auto repair shop that specializes in exhaust problems that the head was probably the problem. And also the car jumps or slips out of gear. There have been other problems but these are the most significant.
