What 1995 Chrysler Lebaron owners say
Body & structure all 24 →
Metal fatigue in the door panel where the hings connects to the body of the car .door brakes away where hings connects leaving unable to close securely.as a former sale manager for a dealership in calif . I brought this to the attention of Chrysler . Corporation .after speaking to three people . Finally talking to a man who built these vehicles he concluded that this was a problem with many other cars built by Chrysler(two door sedans ) due to the weight of the long door frame putting a heavy amount on the doors metal wall causing it to break through .
Driver door hinge attachment plate on drivers side bottom sunk into door and in turn the door bent over so when opening the door, it pushes the rear of the front fender in and damaged the driver door side. It is now happening on the passenger side and soon will be unable to open either door to get in. Cannot open drivers side as door slips down and very hard to pick up door as it is heavy. Defect!
Transmission & drivetrain
Transmission disengages sporadically- most dangerous at intersections when car will proceed into intersection then drive train will fail and engine will race as driver panics and hits gas pedal while cross traffic is bearing down - transmission will usually re engage without any adjustment on drivers part. But this is not a shifting problem as transmission is in drive throughout journey- its just that sometimes it acts like its in neutral and leaves you straddled across a lane or rail line which you had stopped at to judge if the crossing was clear.
I've owned this car for 5 months and it has been nother but problems for me. I understand that when buying a used vehicle there is always risk involved, but at 50,000 miles (which is what I bought it at) there should not be that many expensive problems in 5 months! Chrysler is refusing to accept any of the responsibility for this vehicle that they manufactured, and that is wrong. I hope by filing this complaint, something gets done!
