FUEL INJECTOR ASSEMBLY LEAKAGE Defect Investigation for the 1995 New Yorker
Vehicle Component: Fuel System, Gasoline:Fuel Injection System*
Summary: Nitrile rubber seals used in the fuel rail assemblies of the subject vehicles at the supply, return, and crossover tube fittings, and at the pressure regulator fail, resulting in fuel leakage in the engine compartment. Also, the outlet (right) fuel rail may leak from cracks at certain mold gates in the thermoset rail material. Chrysler will recall the subject vehicles and stated that it intends to replace the O-rings with fluorocarbon O-ring having greater heat resistance capability and attach reinforcements to the rail in the areas where the cracking concern has been known to occur most frequently. Rails that are already cracked will be replaced by new, reinforced rails.

STEERING SYSTEM RACK AND PINION Defect Investigation for the 1995 New Yorker
Vehicle Component: Steering
Summary: Since opening the preliminary evaluation (PE), ODI has received 6 additional complaints. During the PE it was determined multiple failure modes are involved in this matter. The warranty claim rate is high for a steering system concern. The issues reported involve premature wear out at the rack and pinion interface with the inner tie rod end(s), binding and sticking of the steering gear, cracked or broken tie rod ends, sheared rack and pinion assembly bolts, and wear out of the rack and pinion mount bushings. Many of the complainants mention steering wonder and loose steering. Three of the most recent complaints allege a complete loss of steering due to sheared bolts. ODI is upgrading this PE in order to perform a thorough technical analysis of the various system failure allegations and to quantify the effect that these failures have on vehicle control.

STEERING COLUMN SEPARATION Defect Investigation for the 1995 New Yorker
Vehicle Component: Steering:Column
Summary: Mr. larry a. sackey submitted a petition to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) by letter dated April 18, 2003, requesting that nhtsafurther investigate the "defective collapsible steering shaft system" on 1987-1995 vehicles manufactured by the DaimlerChrysler corporation. In part because of 49 cfr § 30120(G), NHTSA has decided to limit the scope of the petition vehicles to 1993-1995 models, excluding the 1993 Jeep grand Cherokee and 1994-1995 Dodge Ram series trucks that were recalled (93V210 & 96V230) for steering column failure. If the analysis of these vehicles had identified a potential problem, the scope could have been expanded in an investigation. A review of ODI's data base shows no recent complaints and a lack of a complaint trend concerning the subject issue on the subject vehicles as a whole or by individual models. Therefore, the petition is denied. For details, see federal register notice volume 68, no. 130, July 8, 2003.

FUEL RAIL, BRAKE FLUID, CHASSIS Defect Investigation for the 1995 New Yorker
Vehicle Component: Structure:Frame And Members*
Summary: 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.
