Hi everyone, I know that this is the "Chrysler" group, but unfortunately there is only like 10 people posting in the "Dodge" group, so I will still try to get some info. here from any mechanics in the group. I am hoping that someone can help me out here and try to solve "a big mystery" that...

This is why you can't blame the big-3 for not having more hybrids for sale, or that they would be in better financial shape if they had more hybrids (or even small cars) in their fleet. The american car consumer is schizophrenic if not irrational and their purchasing habbits and tendencies change...

There are some websites that sell Chrysler OEM parts with a discount compared to suggested retail prices. I have found that my dealer sells everything for suggested retail. How is it that these online places can offer discounts, when the local dealerships don't? Do online retailers charge more...

If DCX spins off Chrysler, will all the Mercedes technology become orphaned? More specifically, if I buy a Sprinter, which is really a Mercedes, and then Chrysler is sold off, will Dodge be able to maintain those Sprinters already sold? Will Chrysler have the Mercedes products pulled from the...

I just phoned the only Chrysler dealer in a 30 mile radius and was told I don't have ignition cables in my 3.5 engine so there's nothing to change. I'm confused. The service manual I bought from the factory in 2003 (shop manual) calls for this replacement at 100,000 miles. What's up?

In a way it may be sad to say after owning Chrysler vehicles it's now time for me to say goodby,i did enjoy owning them but IMO it has come down to this: Chrysler has been having some of the same problems over the past years with some of the same models. and with the problems that they have been...

What have you found are the worst kind of clothing stains you get (or have seen any friends or relatives obtain) while driving in your car, or their car ?

I've seen the discussions on the 'polish' to use on things like headlight lens when they yellow or become fogged. I thought the polish was available at Wal-Mart, but I looked yesterday and couldn't find anything. Any recommendations as to what to use? I have a 93 Intrepid with the headlights all...

Our '02 300M is due to have its timing belt replaced soon. The dealer -- which is no longer a Chrysler dealer -- quoted me $750 to replace the timing belt and water pump, presumably using over-priced "genuine Mopar" parts. The parts at AutoZone are less than $200, but, having read through the...

I have a 95 Concorde that is starting to take longer to crank than it should. I suspect the fuel pressure regulator. I was going to pop one in as a guess until I saw what a job it was. Looks like the intake manifold or what ever they call it now days has to come off. Is this correct? (I've...

My 1985 lebaron Town and Country convertible runs fine around town, no idling problems, good get up and go. Only problem is if I happen to have to really push the motor, like trying to accelerate up a steep grade too quickly, or pass somebody and almost floor it, the motor will hesitate and lose...

I am waiting for my '99 300M to be delivered and they said it would be going to Chrysler for two repairs. One is the gear shift that moves with too much resistance and the other should be something about the seat adjustment. Is this a standard Chrysler procedure? Factory recalls on a 5 year old...

Thinking about getting one..Any pros or cons to think about Tanx in advance. Frank

Hello everyone. I always take my 2000 Chrysler Neon to the dealer for my oil changes and ’peace of mind’ inspections. I recently took it in for the oil change and after they did it, the guy come out and told me that my drain plug was stripped and that they didnt have another to replace it....

Well, the 96 Grand Voyager that I've posted about here over the years met its demise last night due to a drunk driver that tried to do a u-turn on a busy two-lane highway just as I was passing by. I probably was going 45 MPH still at impact and swerved hard left, but couldn't quit get past him. ...

someone in a previous post called me a LIBERAL.. i voted yesterday. George is not a liberal.. God Bless AMERICA!!! linda

I have a new (< 3000miles) 2004 Dodge Neon SXT (auto trans.). The sticker said the car should be getting 25-31 MPG. Unfortunately, I have yet to get anything above 22-23 regardless of my driving (city/highway/etc). Being a new vehicle, I don't expect it to be a problem with spark plugs, O2...

The HLDI released it's list of cars based on how likely they are to be stolen. Among the top 5 are two Cadillac SUX/XUV models and the Nissan Maxima, which I guess makes some sense. The Cadillac's have expensive wheels and are often recovered without the wheels and the Maxims has the HID headlamps...

A while back I posted looking for recommendations for good brake rotors due to my van's warped rotor syndrome. I wound up getting Raybestos PG + rotors and the quiet stop plus pads (ceramic) I also replaced the rear shoes and cylinders, flushed the system & put a combo kit on the rear axles. The...
