| 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. | ||||||

| On 09/11/03 i purchased a used 1993 chrysler concorde. about a month later the low fuel gauge and airbag lights started coming on, nd my tank is at least half full all the time. the problem is that i never know when the lights will come on and when they do, it causes the vehicle to sometimes stall and jerk violently as if i've been hit from the rear and gas fumes are so strong that i have to drive with the windows down. i took the car back to the dealership and spoke with private mechanics and explained it to them but noone could find any problem. i recently found a website listing persons with some of the same problems i've experienced with this vehicle and find it amazing that we haven't all become a fatality because of the many problems with it. i have a hood that won't stay up, a trunk that sometimes opens by itself, the gauges on the instrument panel goes off and the heater comes on at full speed, acceleration when changing gears from parking to drive and on and on. i understand that problems come with used cars but some of these issuses were there when the car was brand new and was recalled. i will be going to the dealership again, only this time i will have some of these issues in wirting and hopefully they can give me a better answer than. *ak i found nothing (except my money). before this car i drove a 1994 plymouth acclaim which i bought in 1995. it served me really well for 8 years with me driving back and forth to my hometown in mississippi, sometimes twice a year. the adjustments made on it were normal for wear and tear after that long, and it did make some of the same noises as the concorde, but i don't think i'll be buying another chrysler vehicle after i trade this one. i pray that it doesn't catch fire or blow up before i can. | |||
