A recall is listed on n.h.t.s.a. (national highway safety traffic association) for my vehicle make/model/year, for it's PCM-(power control module). However I did call chrysler, they told me that they do "VIN filtering" due to their selective "VIN filtering" my car's was not put on the list for the recall of the PCM-(power control module). My vehicle stalls shuts off out of the blue and shifts improperly in 2nd gear. The recall# 94v033000 was issued, however my vehicle was not included in the recall, because my VIN. My consumer protection agency, told me that my VIN, "fell threw the cracks". Because of this I am left with a unsafe car. I will be also filing safety complaints with my consumer protection agency about this issue/problem. My husband was almost in an accident yesterday (03/29/06) because it shut off on him on his way to his v.a. Apt. There were 4 cars behind him and a semi in front of him. It kills me to think what would have happened if the other cars didn't react in time. Thank god the other cars reacted fast enough, by turning into different lanes. As there was no place for him to pull off on.

Filed Jan 15, 2004 · Airbags, Brakes · 85,000 miles · WV · crash

Brakes failed to work right when my boyfriend wrecked the car which then made him hit the guard rail. The air bags didn't come out. We contacted the place we got the car from but they could not tell us anything. Then the transmission went out of it on october 1, 2003. The whole transmission exploded. We were told the place we bought it from did not put in new clutch and pressure plate and throw out bearings in when we had just bought it. We had told them the clutch was making noise. They would not fixed it. They said it was nothing when I took it in; that's just neons they said... My biggest concern beside the tranny and clutch is the air bags not coming out at all...
