- 04V021000POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFTReported 13 Jan 2004 · 2,315,768 units
Defect, as filed: On certain passenger vehicles, the floor shifter ignition-park interlock may fail and allow the shifter to be moved out of the park position with the key removed. An inoperative interlock may also allow the key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the park position.
Consequence: Either circumstance may result in the vehicle rolling away without warning.
Remedy: Dealers will install a new load-limiting push rod into the floor shifter lever of the affected vehicles. Owner notification began on june 14, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Filed by DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION (manufacturer campaign C45).
Defect, as filed: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The lower control arm attaching brackets can crack due to fatigue and separate from the engine cradle.
Consequence: If this occurs, the transmission half-shaft could pull out of the transaxle and result in loss of power.
Remedy: Dealers will reinforce the engine cradle at the point where the lower control arm attaches to it.
Filed by DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION (manufacturer campaign 837).
Defect, as filed: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles built with 3.5l engines. The fuel injection delivery system can leak fuel from some of the sealing o-rings or from hair line cracks in the thermoset fuel injection rail.
Consequence: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the fuel rail o-rings and reinforce the outlet (passenger) side fuel rail. Vehicles showing fuel leakage on the outlet fuel rail must have the outlet rail replaced which includes changing the upper and lower injector o-rings. However, if a vehicle is leaking fuel from the o-rings or from a cracked fuel line, the vehicle should be taken into a dealer to have this repaired as soon as possible.
