Chrysler: A Tale of Two Woes

Chrysler's problems aren't limited to slowing sales - quality problems with older models are plaguing the automaker as well.

Autoblog reader Gardiner notified us that Douglas Flint of The Car Connection’s Mechanic’s Tale is seeking aid in dealing with the automaker over an old anti-lock braking system. The system, found in certain 1990-1993 Dodge, Chrysler, and (now-defunct) Plymouth vehicles, could cause total brake failure. The automaker issued a recall warranty for the system while covering the involved pump motor and piston assembly supposedly for life.

You can guess Flint’s situation: at the time he wrote his article, DaimlerChrysler still has not returned his repeated inquires about a customer's Plymouth Voyager (pictured).

Flint’s article can be found here.

WFTV.com Action 9 reported on the other Chrysler issue.

According to the news source, a 2002 Dodge Durango self-ignited during the evening hours. (Pictured are the remains of the seating.) Fortunately, the owners were not in the vehicle at the time.

"I'm very lucky that I'm alive. My son and I could have died," said owner Valerie Davis.

According to the repair shop who examined the vehicle, the problem could have been caused by an “unused” electrical plug within the vehicle. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, who has received similar complaints from owners, has contacted the automaker.

A response by DaimlerChrysler to Action 9's report can be found in the article.
