1989 Chrysler New Yorker review from North America

Transmission replaced two years before I bought it. We found this out after the first time in the shop because of transmission problems.

Sensor in transmission replaced after owning for one year.

Converter in transmission replaced after two years.

Five towing charges when it would just quit shifting into gear, engine was still running, but not going anywhere.

Twice had the transmission drained and new filter and oil put in. It worked for about a month after each of those times.

Now it shifts into "limp home mode" and this time the shift cable was replaced. Two days later same problem.

Water leaks into trunk, replaced rubber.

Water leaks inside car from the windshield, had that resealed.

Passenger power window doesn't work well, goes up and down very slow.

Air conditioner doesn't work anymore and can't be fixed as it is an R12 model and not allowed to be fixed.

Trim on doors fell off, can't be fixed easily as the rivets broke.

Passenger rear door power lock quit working and could not open door. At that point had all the power locks disconnected, we prefer to do it manually, found it is safer with a small child. The power locks would automatically lock doors at 25 Kilometers and if you happened to have your arm out the window at that moment, it hurts when it gets pinched.

Many other numerous problems with this car, so far we have spent $3500 on repairs and the transmission is still not fixed.

I would not recommend a Chrysler product until they come up with a better transmission. After checking out several websites and service centers and talking to other car dealers, I have heard that the transmission problems are a recurring theme with Chrysler.
