What 1995 Chrysler New Yorker owners say
Steering
While backing out of a parking place the two bolts that hold the short rack to the frame sheered off at the frame causing complete loss of steering. The New bolts obtained from Chrysler were gold in color instead of black like the originals which indicated to my mechanic that the New ones had a different heat treating process. I have the bolts and pieces plus pictures of same and will provide either upon request. Had I not been in a parking lot this could have been a desaster. While I have received other recall notices for this car I never received one on this.
Componant failure was the two bolts that secure tie rods to rack and pinion steering sheared off, both at the same length. This happened while backing out of a parking space. In turn, both tie rods, one to each wheel became totally disabled and all steering was lost. Removed the rack and pinion and foind no defects with operation. Replaced with a remanufactured one with New bolts from the dealer. Cause remains undetermined.
Fuel & propulsion system
I recently bought this vehicle (October 2016) from the original owner who had it up until now. We smelled gas coming in the vents when idling and warming up. We saw vapors coming out from the hood and the strong gas smell was clearly injector leaking somewhere on the engine and coming into the cab. We took it to a local auto dealer and they agreed immediately what the problem is and explain it was faulty fuel line by Chrysler.
My car had a recall on it, and when I called the manufacturer and asked them to look up my VIN number to see if my car had been properly serviced, they told me that the VIN I provided did not have a recall on it. I took it as if they were saying the recall had been properly handled, but when questioned further I was told that my specific car did not have a recall at all. I explained to them that I had seen where the 95 Chrysler New Yorker had a fuel system recall. They proceeded to tell me that I was correct but my car did not qualify for that recall. I do not understand and would like further explanation.
Brakes
When applying the brakes the brake pedal has to be pressed almost to the floor before the vehicle will stop. Also, ABS light comes on intermittently. When it does the defroster comes on automatically.
While driving about any MPH could go over a rock, then step on the brake pedal. It will be hard, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer could not determine what wa scausing the problem. Please provide more information.
