Chrysler New Yorker — reported problems

CarFaultIQ holds 530 evidence records for the Chrysler New Yorker (1995–1997), drawn from official sources and owner complaints.

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 180 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

  • Steering38 (21.1%)
  • Brakes26 (14.4%)
  • Fuel system24 (13.3%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 1995–1997.
  • Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)18 (10.0%)
  • Engine12 (6.7%)
  • Suspension12 (6.7%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 1995.

Other / uncategorized: 2 classifications (1.1%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

  • Owner complaints (146 records, model years 1995–1997) are most frequently classified under: steering, brakes and fuel system.
  • Manufacturer communications (354 records, model years 1995–1997) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and body & structure.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Evidence by model year

  1. 1995 154 records for 1995
  2. 1996 103 records for 1996

Counts are not adjusted for how many vehicles were sold in each year, so a taller year is not necessarily a worse year.
