Tl*the contact owns a 1995 chrysler lhs. The contact heard a loud crushing noise when the brake pedal was depressed. He also noticed that the brake pedal was resistant upon application. Upon further inspection, he noticed that the brake pads, rotors, and related components were in normal condition. On one occasion when the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle would not stop and crashed into another vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel prior to the failure.

Passenger suffered whiplash. Driver's chest suffered bruises. Vehicle towed to keith ford & placed in storage. The insurance adjuster will be checking vehicle out.
While sitting still in vehicle, vehicle accelerated. Was put in park with foot on brake, wheels started spinning, and vehicle took off during a funeral procession. Hit three other cars. Driver injured. Both air bags deployed. Vehicle was totalled. Dealer aware of the problem.
1995 chrysler lhs fuel o-ring and fuel rail problem fixed by dealer under a national recall. Same issue has resurfaced with the fuel o-ring and fuel rail. Dealer has indicated it will not be fixed now under the recall.. Vehicle is a fire and explosion hazard and should be fixed under the recall.
Constant fuel vapor fumes of raw gas coming into the vehicle, recall campaign 98v184000 was done to the vehicle as the reinforcements are present, fumes occur daily with presence of fuel coming out of reinforcement area outlet fuel rail was not replaced. Believe chrysler needs to replace the outlet fuel rail as per recall as reinforcements do not hold up.
