Severely corroded brake lines, lines blew. Near miss accident. This IS a common complaint across mfrs. Had the same incident 1 month ago on 1997 gm product.

Can't blame this on ne winter salt. My oem 1964 looks better than my late model vehicles. *tr

Purchased vehicle 01/30/12,test drove,checked fluids,made sure everything was working fine. Seller said he just had oil change and smog 1 month prior, he provided me documents confirming. Had no issues with vehicle, until about 03/20/12,the oil light came on, which was odd. I checked the oil,found it was completely empty, put 2 quarts in immediately,light went off. I started checking driveway daily for signs of oil leaking even though the car drove fine.03/28/12, car stalled,went completely dead, as I exited freeway, leaving myself and my 3YR. Old stuck in lane on off ramp for about 30 minutes.a passerby attempted to jump it,that didn't work,car had no power at all,we pushed it to a safer spot. I walked 2 blocks home. Came back next day,jumped it,it started but now there was a knocking sound coming from engine and oil light was back on. I checked the oil it read full,i drove car home it stalled 3 times in the 2 blocks home. Knocking sound continued I parked the car. The next day I took the car to my mechanic the oil light was still on the engine was still knocking. He checked oil again and confirmed the car did have oil,and detected no signs of leaking. He ran a diagnostic on engine, it detected no issues,he ran it again,and the results where the same. He drove the car,me in the passengers seat so he could get a hear the knocking sound when car was moving.backed out of lot driving about 10 to 12 mph, we got maybe half a block and the car went dead. He was able to guide car to side of road,when he pressed the brake to put the car in park, there was a barely audible bursting sound.we got out and found a thick black muddy type substance gushing out of the bottom from the front end, leaving a puddle the length and width of car. He immediately identified it as oil sludge, and said my engine had blown. We discussed my options and ultimately I had to have the car towed home it hasn't started. *tr

My sister bought the car brand new at a dealer in columbus ohio..took the car to same dealer for all maintenance and repairs...last month the engine light kept going on ...they did several repairs to fix it the last being putting in a new catalytic converter to the tune of 2500. The blue book IS 3000....the next day the engine blew...the dealer wanted to put in a new engine...chrysler IS not taking responsibility. They claim to know nothing about a sludge problem...but if you google the car you will find page after page of complaints very similar to my sister's problem...and neither IS the dealer taking any responsibility...my sister IS almost 70 and has a husband who IS a stroke victim...her hands are full.......my sister was ripped off and so have a lot of other americans....i would love to talk to someone who can help find some justice... *jb

While driving on an interstate highway, a large amount of smoke was observed in the rear view mirror. after finding a safe place to quickly pull over, it was found that the right rear strut had failed completely and was resting on a brand new tire. the tire was smoking and destroyed. it had only millimeters of tread left before the strut would have punctured and exploded the tire. later at a garage, the strut was shown to have broken completely. although I survived this near disastrous incident, it could have easily been much worse for me and other interstate users nearby. *tr

It wonders all over the road and it IS impossible to steer safely then it takes an extra second for steering to respond. It steers like a boat. No injuries vechile parked in driveway afraid to drive. *Tr

The manufacturer reports above are based on daimlerchrysler?s (dc) analysis of model year (my) 1998 (population = 356,384) and 1999 (population = 486,948) ja, JX and lh family subject vehicle data (earlier mys excluded).the population number includes all mys.the precise number of duplicates between odi and dc reports cannot be determined due to missing or incomplete information.the fatality incident involved an elderly person who attempted to stop a roll away vehicle and received fatal injuries.odi also gathered information on my 1997-99 prowler vehicles in this investigation. The prowler vehicles were manufactured with a different design shifter mechanism (the shift lever IS shorter).there are no complaints of prowler interlock failure in odi?s database, and dc has received no reports either.the prowler IS excluded from the recall scope.the investigation involved a condition where the interlock system could fail (or be made inoperative by the operator) during vehicle use, possibly inadvertently.the interlock system IS required under fmvss 114.with the transmission in the park position and the ignition key off, the combined action of pressing the shift button and pulling the shift lever rearward may result in the operator overcoming the interlock system and cause the mechanical linkage of the system to disconnect.when this occurs, there IS no overt indication to an operator that the system IS defeated, and an increased risk of vehicle roll-away exists.under recall 04v021, dc will replace damaged shift mechanisms, and will install on all vehicles a device which inhibits the operator?s ability to overcome the interlock and defeat the system.beginning with my 2000, dc incorporated a brake and transmission shifter interlock (btsi) system into the subject vehicles.introduction of btsi involved design changes to the shift mechanism, one of which resulted in reduced mechanical advantage (rma) of the shift button.the rma shifter requires increased forces to overcome the interlock system, making the shifter less susceptible to damage.
