1994 Chrysler LHS review from North America
"Honestly, a piece of junk that people should avoid"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Chronic air conditioning problems, resulting in repairs every year. Fuel rail was replaced twice. Blower motor was replaced. Currently, transmission is being completely overhauled at a cost of $1000 to $1600. Numerous interior rattles that they can't seem to get rid of. The Infinity premium sound system blew out at 40,000 miles and would cost $800-1000 to replace. It never lived up to is "premium" billing either. The sound was quite poor. I wouldn't buy this car, and will sell it as soon at the transmission is fixed. The other problem I wish to avoid: common water pump problem that takes out the timing belt when the pump goes. I will sell it before this happens.
General comments?
Though this car drives well, and the recent transmission trouble is the only major engine/drive train trouble, my conclusion after owning this car for 5 years is that Chrysler doesn't know how to put a vehicle together. This was their top of the line, luxury vehicle that went for $30,000 new. When you pay that much you shouldn't have to put up with so many body rattles. This car has been well cared for, but is more trouble than its worth.
