Recalls
3 recalls name the 1993 Chrysler New Yorker. Newest first.
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. the lower control arm attaching brackets can crack due to fatigue and separate from the engine cradle.
Risk and remedy
Risk
If this occurs, the transmission half-shaft could pull out of the transaxle and result in loss of power.
Remedy
Dealers will reinforce the engine cradle at the point where the lower control arm attaches to it.
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles built with 3.5L engines. the fuel injection delivery system can leak fuel from some of the sealing o-rings or from hair line cracks in the thermoset fuel injection rail.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the fuel rail o-rings and reinforce the outlet (passenger) side fuel rail. vehicles showing fuel leakage on the outlet fuel rail must have the outlet rail replaced which includes changing the upper and lower injector o-rings. however, if a vehicle IS leaking fuel from the o-rings or from a cracked fuel line, the vehicle should be taken into a dealer to have this repaired as soon as possible.
The ABS hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.
Risk and remedy
Risk
If this condition occurs, the ABS function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy
Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. Also the warranty on all ABS components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). Owners will also be reimbursed for previous ABS component repair costs.

The contact also stated that the brake pedal was difficult to depress and he had to apply force each time the failure happened. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 96v099000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was taken to three different dealers who provided various diagnostics and repairs, which did not prevent the failure. The check engine and ABS warning lights continued to illuminate and the brake pedal was still hard to depress. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no permanent remedy for the condition. The vin and failure mileage were not available.

The ABS pump went out on the vehicle on august 30, 2013. it has been at the dealer since september 4, 2013. I have information stating that the pump IS covered under a lifetime warranty and chrysler corporation has given me the run around on it saying that it does not mean lifetime since it failed again after the original recall repair. I am sorry but I thought lifetime meant lifetime according to the documents that I have and read. they refuse to provide me with an alternate car to drive so I can get to work stating that IS not covered either. they are the poorest excuse of a business that I have ever dealt with and tell you something different with each customer service representative you speak to. they cannot even tell the same lies twice. I was first informed that they couldn't get the parts, then told they were on back order and now I am told they do not have an eta for the parts. I will not advise anyone to purchase any of their products since they do not honor warranties or stand behind their products. *js

I own a mint condition 1993 chrysler new yorker with 68,000 miles on it. Last week the engine started leaking a large amount of gasoline from fuel rail onto the top of block and engine compartment. I saw where a recall campaign was issued to correct this safety condition so I contacted the local chrysler dealer to look at the vehicle. He advised me that my vehicle was not part of the recall and will not be repaired under same. How can that be?? It clearly states ""1993 chrysler new yorker"". Now he advises me that the cost to repair a leaking fuel rail/o-ring will be $536.00. This IS clearly wrong. I need someone to investigate this defect. *nm

I had to replace the transmission on this chrysler -- people stop me in malls, supermarkets and ask me if I've had trouble with the transmission as they have -- all the way back to 1990 everyone I've spoken to that has had a chrysler van, new yorker, dynasty, etc. Has had major transmissions problems and/or has had to replace the transmission. in speaking with my local aamco transmission reps and continental transmission rep (a buffalo store) -- chrysler cars are their number 1 repair. I had occasion to speak with the vp of customer service for aamco at the executive offices in pa -- he also reiterated that chrysler IS their number 1 repair. this should be looked in to. with all of the chrysler repairs I've heard of just in the buffalo area alone, nationally their has to be thousands of consumers who have incurred a major expense. please please investigate this. when I purchased this car from an elderly man in 7/2000 it only had 19,025 miles on the car and it was in showroom condition. around 21,000 miles the car started to have hesitation problems and I didn't know it was the transmission. one local buffalo transmission shop indicated that the computers operating the transmissions were bad and they've had to sell many of them. thank you and I really appreciate an investigation.*ak

On september 5, 2004, mr. Robert galenty of iselin, nj, petitioned the agency to conduct defect investigations of certain model year (my) 1993-1997 vehicles produced by daimlerchrysler corporation.his petition identified three issues of concern: 1) fuel leaking from the fuel injector rails; 2) brake fluid contamination resulting in brake failure; and 3) susceptibility of the vehicle frame to damage while the vehicle IS being towed.mr. Galanty alleged that his 1996 dodge intrepid had each of these three problems.concerning fuel rail leakage, daimlerchrysler commenced a recall (98v-184) of approximately 722,600 vehicles to address engine fuel rail leaks that could lead to a fire, including those vehicles cited in the petition and the petitioner's 1996 dodge intrepid.on october 7, 1998, nhtsa opened a recall query investigation (rq98-018) to evaluate the adequacy of the recall remedy.that investigation was closed on july 8, 2002 without requiring further action by daimlerchrysler.very recently, on june 9, 2004, nhtsa denied a petition (rp04-001) to reopen rq98-018 after finding that there was no new information that would indicate any basis for reopening it.this IS still the current position of nhtsa on this issue.concerning brake fluid contamination and frame alignment, a review of nhtsa's database shows no other complaints on either one of these issues on the vehicles cited in the petition.
