WHILE SLOWING DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT 5 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE PAVEMENT WAS WET AT THE TIME. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED $1,500 IN DAMAGES.

IT IS A 1991 CHYRSLER NEW YORKER. THE REAR BRAKES HAVE ONE FLAT PIN THAT COMES OUT OF THE WHEEL CYLINDER. THIS SMALL FLAT PIN PUSHES ON A THIN FLAT PART OF THE REAR BRAKE SHOE. BECAUSE THE PIN IN FLAT AND DOES NOT HAVE THE FORK DESIGN LIKE THE OLDER MODELS, THE PIN SLIPS OFF THE BRAKE SHOE AND OVER EXTENDS. THIS CAUSES LOSS OF THE BRAKE https://plaincars.com/make/chrysler-fifth-avenue https://plaincars.com/make/chrysler-fifth-avenue#complaint-548384 Mon, 08 Aug 2005 00:00:00 GMT FUEL RAIL LEAKS GASOLINE ONTO TOP OF ENGINE - MANY OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE RECALL FOR THIS - SEARCHING THE INTERNET SHOWS MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER CARS - WHY EXCLUDE THE 90 FIFTH AVENUE FROM THE FUEL RAIL RECALL? *NM https://plaincars.com/make/chrysler-fifth-avenue https://plaincars.com/make/chrysler-fifth-avenue#complaint-524258 Wed, 02 Mar 2005 00:00:00 GMT 1991 CHRYSLER 5TH AVENUE- FUEL RAIL LEAK AT O-RING CONNECTIONS. *AK https://plaincars.com/make/chrysler-fifth-avenue https://plaincars.com/make/chrysler-fifth-avenue#complaint-517507 Wed, 19 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT 91 CHRYSLER FIFTH AVENUE - LEAKING JOINT IN OEM FUEL RAIL. I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL DESIGN WAS TO BE ABLE TO ROTATE FRONT AND BACK RAILS TO ALIGN INJECTORS DURING ASSEMBLY. THIS JOINT IS SEALED AT FACTORY WITH NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE, EXCEPT FOR THE WHOLE FUEL RAIL. LEAKING FUEL LAY ON TOP MOTOR AND COULD BE VERY HAZARDOUS IF IGNITED. *NM https://plaincars.com/make/chrysler-fifth-avenue https://plaincars.com/make/chrysler-fifth-avenue#complaint-517444 Wed, 19 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT ABS: ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHT ALWAYS COME ON, CHRYSLER SAID NO PROBLEM.

I INCURRED 2 FUEL LEAKS FROM THE FUEL INTAKE FUEL RAIL. EACH OCCURRED AT BOTH 'U' JOINTS. THE FUEL IS LEAKING DIRECTLY INTO THE ENGINE.
