1994 Chrysler New Yorker from North America - Comments

Had water pump and crankshaft seals replaced at the time of purchase.

Rebuilt front suspension at 109,000 miles. $600 worth of parts. I understand this is common on high mileage LH series models.

Traction control is wonderful on the ice and snow in northern WI.

I have had no transmission problems and the car uses no oil.

Threw away the Goodyear Eagles - these were the worst tires I have ever seen and have replaced with General all seasons.

The car handles like a sports car, goes like a missile and rides great. Only complaint would be the air conditioning. Same complaints as most Chrysler owners.

Great ride.

I have gotten a 1994 New Yorker and I want to know more about its technical features.

P.S. I'm going to continue reading this page.

I own a 1994 Chrysler New Yorker with approximately 135,000 miles on it. I went to the INTERNET to find information about the air conditioning system... it appears that many other folks have also experienced problems with the air condition. There was a recall on the Air Condition several years ago and although I wasn't experiencing any problems at that time I took the car in to the dealership.

Currently, I AM having problems. The unit works fine for approx. 45 - 60 miles and then it quits. I can leave it off for a while and then turn it back on and it works again. I thought maybe it was freezing up. I took it to a local (air condition/cooling) mechanic yesterday (not the dealership) and he let it run until it decided to "act up". He said it is not freezing up... the compressor is "kicking out" when it gets hot. He doesn't know what is causing this to happen. Is there anybody out there who has experienced this problem and knows what was done to correct it?

I have a 94 new yorker and it somtimes just doesn't start or won't turn over, I have had the starter changed, map scensor, oil scensor, all loose wires tighted up, what could it be has any one had any of these problems or a problem with the ignition switck or coil.??? I onnly have 94,000 miles on it.. WHAT COULD IT BE!!!HELP my email is s.wilson80@verison.net.

I just bought this same car and I do have the problem of it not always starting. The previous owner had the crank shaft sensor changed in 01 and that seemed to help. I haven't looked into it recently. I seem to have a "common" problem with my transmission that is taking all my time.

I, too, have the same problem with it not always starting. I just bought my 1994 New Yorker and the problem is, when you turn the key all the way forward--it acts like you are trying to start the car while it's in gear, and does nothing but sit there... Sometimes it will start in neutral, sometimes park, but sometimes I sit there for a while until I can get it to turn-over... It seems electrical--like a sensor or something--the starter itself seems to act fine.

Has anybody figured this out yet?
