1995 Dodge Spirit problems

Filed Jun 26, 2005 · Transmission · FL

I have a 1995 dodge spirit. About 2 weeks ago there started to be a shake on the front end. Took it to my mechanic and he said its something with the axle. I talked to a friend tonight who has a 1995 acclaim, which is basically the same vehicle just a different name put on the back.. He had that same promblem a year ago.. Talked to another friend who has a 1995 dodge spirit. He had the same problem 6 months ago. Talked to someone who had a 1994 dodge spirit .. She never has had a problem with it.. Im thinking that it has to be a defect in the front axle of the car.

Another vehicle was changing lanes into my lane. I hit the brakes and pushed on the center of the steering wheel but the horn did not sound. After the incicent, I remembered that the horn is a small button in an inconvenient place on the steering wheel instead of in the middle of the steering wheel where it belongs and where all american drivers have been trained to push. The other driver never realized I was there and could have crashed into me. With a working horn in the proper place, the other car may have stopped coming into my lane. Nothing has been done to fix this design flaw. I am not aware of any publicity by dodge about this problem with their horns or any plans to fix the steering wheels.

The vehicle leaked gasoline due to fuel line being abraded by friction.

Driver alerted to a problem by honking of other drivers, and told gasoline was streaming from the tank area. Drove home, found that the fuel and brake lines had been mounted one above the other (rigid vs. Moving parts) and the brake line support bracket had abraded both fuel lines, and one of them completely through to the inside. Luckily no spark from the friction occurred or I would not be sending this report. This is a highly dangerous situation and should be investigated immediately. I will wait for a few days for your instructions, but I will have to get it repaired to get to work. Please advise asap.
