Chrysler LHS jerking problems

Filed Mar 19, 2012 · 175,000 miles · IN

Driving all of sudden car lunged and all lights and motor and forward motion stopped, then all of a sudden jerked and started running normal. This has happened at least a dozen times in last year. Local dealer can not find problem. So we continue to hope and pray it doesn't result in an accident. Now when you start the engine, one time all gauges work and the next time none work. Dealer still hasn't located problem. Definitely annoying and dangerous. Glad were older, rarely drive at night.

I just purchased the cursed 97 chrysler lhs . Driving it home I noticed sloppy steering conditions. And I hit a pothole and my car jerked over to the next lane and almost hit an oncoming vehicle. When I got home I went straight to the tie rods and of course they were loose at the inner tie rod. So im stuck with an unsafe car that I cant drive. Thanks alot you billionaire freaks.

Dt*: the contact stated while driving 55 MPH the vehicle started to jerk, the engine and cruise control light illuminated and the vehicle stalled and was unable to restart. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the vehicle remained for a month. The dealer determined the problem was the computer module (or chip) and it needed to be replaced coupled with a fuel injection cleanse. Two miles later after leaving the dealer the vehicle presented the same problem and stalled. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer.

Complaint received via e-mail."steering is extremely loose, flimsy feeling and over-sensitive. Steering will also usually jerk when driving over bumps, accelerating or braking. Steering assembly feels like it violently jerks over heavily bumpy areas. Vehicle is sometimes difficult to control due to it being really loose, flimsy feeling steering that moves way to freely. Front wheels sometimes seem to slide or slip around some slight turns. I took it into the dealership and was told that the rack and pinion steering was broken. It has been dangerous at times.

Transmission is jerky, clunky and noisey from the day car was bought. Transmission is a bit better than my 1994 lhs which had complete transmission failure that started at 20,000 miles. Chrysler reimbursed me for cost of new transmission.
