1997 Chrysler LHS review from North America
"Too many problems to purchase another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tie rod has gone bad, VERY noisy and clunky. This also happened on a 94 Intrepid I had once.
Transmission is starting to go bad. Twice now, I have put it into drive, shifter feels very clunky and then ALL lights come on (R N D 3 2) and the car only stays in 1 gear, it does not change. Both times, I gave it a week or 2 to settle, addes some Fluid and conditioner (even though it was not low). Seemed to temporarily fix it.
Check engine light came on with the last tranny problem.
Electrical problem with the mirrors, won't move downward, only up and to sides.
A/C not working when I bought it. Compressor and receiver/dryer bad.
General comments?
Engine is VERY strong. This car, other than the problems mentioned is a pleasure to drive. Even doing 70-80, you can step on the accelerator and it MOVES. Handles nice, very roomy and comfortable. Cup holders are horrible, minor annoyance.
