Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In july 2004, i purchased a used '94 chrysler lhs w/95,000 miles in very good condition (exterior/interior) but within the first few weeks i experienced electrical problems (electric current not going to gauges, gauges going haywire), transmission problems (periodic 'limp mode', car erratically surging) and steering problems (rack 7 pinion, inner/outer tie rods). within a few months i replaced the inner/outer tie rods and front/rear stabilizer links that all improved my front suspension. just recently about a month ago, i had my local dodge dealer replace one broken transmission mount ($305) then the following week at 124,500 miles while driving to work on my local highway my transmission failed, which resulted in loss of power steering and loss of drive gears, i was able to exit safely onto my jobs parking lot before it finally gave out. i had it towed to an exclusive auto transmission shop, they had to rebuild/overhaul the transmission and torque converter ($1,800). a whopping $2,100 in repairs in about a month. there went my christmas money. *jb
