1989 Chrysler New Yorker Base review from North America
"This car is the biggest lemon ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both axles were shot right when I got it. The water pump cracked a week later costing $1000 to replace. During the whole winter the car would not start due to a faulty computer. This also cost $1000. The shocks bottom out after I replaced them. It drinks oil like nobody's business. Even the dealer can't figure this out. It goes through 2 litres of oil a week.
General comments?
Biggest lemon ever. The dealer who sold it to me said nothing would go wrong for a while, but he was wrong. I must admit it accelerates like a mother, but the handling sucks. It has an enormous turning circle.
