Recalls
3 recalls name the 1994 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 right steering tie rod can rub through the automatic transmission wiring harness causing a short circuit which results in electrical system malfunctions including engine stalling and an inoperative park/starter interlock system.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Electrical system malfunction causing stalling while in motion or an inoperative park/starter interlock system, which allows engine start while the transmission IS not in the park position, may result in an accident.
Remedy
Install a revised wiring harness bracket and a plastic convoluted sleeve to protect the transmission wiring harness.

Chrysler corp. Recall for power seat adjuster in 2012 , took the vehicle in three times and never got this replaced as I was told there were no parts, you would have to get out of the vehicle to move the power seat,on my last visit to the dealership in january 2013 I found that the wheels kept trying to go their own way so I went for a wheel alinement the shop showed me that the steering rack was in fact cracked in half, don't know how that came about but I paid for the replacement but still never heard from them about the adjuster, I still own this vehicle and have replaced many parts but I'm still waiting for the power seat adjuster.

We have had an ongoing problem with the air conditioning in this vehicle. I have contacted chrysler numerous times and was never made aware that there was an ongoing problem with the air conditioners in these vehicles. I have never recieved any recall letters nor have I recieved the addendum to the basic warranty for the airconditioning. I have brought the vehicle into other chysler dealers since where I purchased the vehicle has closed. The dealer wanted to charge $1,500 to repair the airconditioning. I have contacted chrysler numerous times since 1995 regarding this problem and they have never offered any help, other than they are not responsible. We have put thousands of dollars into repairing the airconditioner and chrysler was made aware of these problems before the air was fixed. I was never told that chrysler was liable for these repairs. I have just spoken with chrysler and they refuse to help solve this problem. The evaporator in the car has been replaced two times and the pump has also. The vehicle only holds an airconditioning charge for 3 days. I would appreciate any help I can recieve in having chrysler look into this problem. I have contacted chrysler since 1995 on a yearly basis and they have offered no help what so ever. At this point they will not look at the air conditioning without charging me. I was also never made aware of the three recalls on my vehicle. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. *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.
