Question 2
What the best tire brand recommended for my Chrysler?...  Greetings Everyone;

I have Chrysler Concorde 2002 2.7 eng ... I just bought it used with good condition and need to change its tires , i'm confused between GoodYear and Michelin , what the best u recommend me guys ?

Also do anyone knows what was the factory tires brand ?

my tire size is ( 225/16 R60 98H )

The most important thing to me is to be soo soft tires , which means make no noise and feel soft when drive on that metal balls on the road for night flashs and sure to be good at the handling

Thanks

Answers
1)   I have driven Goodyear tires for years, and always had good luck with them. I bought a Dodge mini van in 97 and put 100K miles on it. It came with Michelin r235/65-16 tires on it. I liked them a lot, and when I did have to replace them, after 65K miles, I bought the same things again. They rode nice, and the tread wear was great, considering that front wheel drive car and vans can be hard on tires. Price wise both are comparable. I would buy the Michelins though, if I had to choose. - michael k

2)   I believe the factory tires were were Goodyear tires (the mid-level invictus?). The better and tires are the Goodyear Assurance. They cost a bit more but will give the smooth ride you want and last 40-50,000 miles. The best, in my opinion, for this car are the Michelins, but expect to pay top dollar. - C-Tech

3)   I recently put the spare on the ground so I only had to buy 3 new tires on my intrepid. It's eagle ga, and are okay but a little noisy. Change your eng oil too, you have to change the oil alot with a 2.7. - done wrenching

4)   Either! - Jackolantern

5)   The Goodyear Wranglers they put on the Jeeps are cheap pieces of crap. Michelins are over rated and over priced imho. I run Fuzion HRi on my Pontiac, nice tire at a good price. - doane_nut

6)   If you are looking for a softer tire, then you are probably looking for a michelin. Michelin tires are manufactured using a softer rubber than most, including goodyear. I'm not saying that goodyear tires are bad, but the michelins are usually better. they will handle a little better, and if you drive in snow or ice, they will have a better grip on ice since they are softer. - josh g

7)   Factory tires were Goodyear. The Imperial I drive now had Michelin replacements on it. After driving on them for 10 years, with a wonderfully quiet and smooth ride, I replaced them earlier this year with another set. I replaced them because of the age factor. - badbill1941

Question 3
I have no heat in minivan.?...  I have a 2001 Town and Country. The fan runs but no heat comes out. Do I have a problem with my heater core, or is it something else?

Answers
1)   Sounds like it's your heater core. Before you go about replacing that, check the fuse for the heater core. You should be able to find a fuse box diagram either online or in a service manual. It could be faulty wiring too, but it's unlikely. Your service manual should contain instructions on how to test whether or not your heater core functions.

Check the fuse, if it isn't blown, just take it in. - Dr. Bobo

2)   Replace your thermostat - linden

3)   let engine run to normal operating temperature,touch heater hoses going thru firewall to see if hot,if so that rules out thermostat,there is no fuse for the heater core,check the floorboard for water leak if none ,core is ok,the bottom radiator hose has a spring inside,when cool enough squeeze with a rag in hand,if spongy feeling the spring has rusted and collapsed,forming a vacuum not allowing water to circulate,could cause heater core to burst,replace,refill radiator/reservoir with proper mix antifreeze/water - ramcharger

4)   I'm going to go in a different direction than everyone else here. I'd be looking at the blend door control this is a door that slides from one side to another, it controls how much air goes thru the heater core and how much is bypassed. if it is stuck or the control for it is broken you may not be getting air directed thru the heater core, thus no warm air enters the passenger compartment. You already stated the bowler runs, so ignore the Fuse suggestion. check you heater hoses to e sure they BOTH are getting warm, if they are... I'd be looking into the blend door for sure. - jnc623

Question 4
225 engine to 318 engine?...  I need to know if a 3 speed automatic transmission off of a 225 slant six will bolt up to a 318 engine the manuel said it would but im not sure. Im pretty sure that it will bolt up to a 318 but not a 340 or 360.

Answers
1)   It will not bolt up and that manual must have been written by a idiot. but any trans from a 318, 360 or 340 will interchange since they all have the same bolt pattern, the 225 does not - rick b

2)   Sorry pal, it's not going to work. Not to mention the linkage, and a different drive-shaft. - badbill1941

3)   Yes it will bolt up. And you're right. It won't bolt to a 340 or a 360. They're both balanced internally. As a 318 is balanced externally. Combining the opposing will result in a vibration, and cause damage to your transmission. - bigbaddwulff82

4)   NO BOLT UP. If you find a 904 trans from a small block, you can throw that in with the 318 and it will even match the driveshft lengthwise. as long as the 6 cylinder had a 904. - done wrenching

Question 5
Chrysler 300c fault ?...  Got a 2008 Chrysler 300c diesel. Intermittently, the engine management light comes on. Car cuts out where ever you are. Half an hour later, when a Chrysler technician comes out, it starts up & appears to be ok. Chrysler has had the car on their analyses & can't find the problem. Can anyone help?

Answers
1)   Most likely heat related as it starts when whatever it overheating cools down again. The coil pack would be my first suspect. early failure of coil packs are possible and this is exactly the symptoms they have. Unfortunately the dealer will be reluctant to do one on warranty without proof - good luck with that. - Timbo is here

2)   I'd check grounds and other connections to the ECM. the ECM itself could have a problem, as far as the suggestion you check the coil packs.... A diesel does NOT have ignition coils. - jnc623

3)   you lucky sob, what country do you live in that you can buy a diesel powered Chrysler 300? - DodgeDude

What transmission do i have and will it work with a 318/340/360?...  I have a 1974 plymouth duster with a 225 slant six engine and a 3 speed automatic transmission that i think is a 727. Please correct me if im wrong about the transmission also i need to know if it will work with the new 318,340 or 360 im going to swap into it.

Answers
1)   Your slant 6 trans will not bolt to any of the mopar v-8's wrong bolt pattern, you can verify this at www.allpar.com - rick b

2)   You have a 904, with a different bolt pattern than the 318, or 340. The 360 uses a 727. - badbill1941

3)   As said, a slant six trans wont bolt to a v-8, and is not a 727. - done wrenching

Chrystler 300m will not turn over?

Question 1
Chrystler 300m will not turn over?...  I drove the car yesterday and this morning it wouldn't start. Though the starter clicks and all the lights turn on. It's driving me crazy. Any ideas?

Answers
1)   The batteries may still be too low - milkiboi

2)   All this freezing weather has killed your battery, If it is over 3 or 4 years old, its probably time to replace it. Cold weather is hard on them, especialy after afew years.

I just had to replace My Moms battery for the same reasons.. and the car works fine now.

It is possible that some crud has built up on the teminals, keeping it from charging well. Have the battery tested somewhere, It should be at least 13.5 volts.

If it is very old, you should just get a new one, so it wont keep doing this to you. Have some one do it for you that you trust, so everything will get done correctly. Once a battery stars to fail. its just never gets better. better to spend the 60-80 bucks then be sitting in a dark parkinglot some cold night because your car wont start. either that or get AAA - just visiting

3)   change the battery if the lights on the dash blink while turning the key and u hear a ticking noise - Azizam

4)   Well check if you have enough fuel or if the fuel meter isn't working. It can be that or maybe it really is your battery.

But I believe that you should try putting some more gasoline just to check. - Entertainment World

5)   I had a very similar problem on my 200 Chrysler 300M. I think it is the belt tensioner on the timing belt. It could also be that your timing is out of wack. The belt tensioner on my car got loose and it wasnt the easiest thing to fix. It wasnt that it was hard to fix it was just very hard to get to. - BMono

6)   Since you state the starter clicks, I'm taking this to mean you hear either a bunch of clicking when you try to start it, or one click and nothing else, and it does not try to spin the motor over at all. In that case, I would say it's most likely a weak battery.

First, check the cables and connections to make sure they're clean and tight. Loose cables will make it seem like a dead battery, and corroded cables can drain the battery or keep it from charging properly. If there's a lot of corrosion, you can clean it with a water with a little baking soda mixed in, might have to scrub it a bit. They sell cleaner at parts stores, but baking soda is less expensive and is already in many houses, which saves a trip to the store. Might even loosen the cables and clean the posts and the inside of the cable clamp if it's got a lot of build up. If you have a battery post and terminal cleaner, use it, but you can also use a piece of fine grit sandpaper, scotch brite pad, or emory cloth to clean them.

I'd suggest trying to charge the battery first, since the alternator could be bad, which would lead to a drained battery. If the battery won't take a charge, then replace the battery.

If you the battery charges up, drive it to the local parts store, most of them will do a basic charging system check at no charge. That will generally tell you if it's the battery or alternator that needs replacing, and they'll happily offer to sell you the replacement for whichever it needs. (some will even change out the battery for you at no extra charge)

If you charge the battery and get only one click, that could be a loose cable at the starter, a locked up starter, or worse, a locked engine. Check the cables at the starter first, if they feel tight, then you'll have to have it towed to a shop to find out what the problem is. - Mark B

7)   If it's a 2.7L, the motor is probably locked up and junk. - p3200tmz

8)   The battery should be measuring atleast 12.75v which is just at 75% capacity. I'm guessing it could be due to either a bad crank or camshaft position sensor. Maybe. - enjoi_2k4

9)   Check the battery connections and the battery itself. If they are good, then it's probably the contacts worn down in the starter solenoid which is very, very common with Chrysler starters. I have repaired dozens and dozens of solenoids in Chrysler (Denso) starters while working for them. They start acting up around 80 to 100 thousand miles. - Jackolantern

Question 3
I have a 1986 chrysler 5th ave. v8. The tranny doesn't want to shift into 2 gear until it is warmed up. Help?...  

Answers
1)   replace fluid? truth is dodge always had bad transmissions but most likey dirty oil and filter

a transmission shop or a ny shop can replace fluids easy might help - kelly_f_1999

2)   The fluid level may be low. When it warms up the fluid expands and its ok. I suggest checking the fluid level and if low, add fluid and check for a leak. If fluid level is ok, then the filter may be clogging up. Change the filter and fluid. Good luck. - C-Tech

3)   An '86 5th Ave?!??! Geez that's pretty cool. You Win! - Yamamoto

4)   Sounds like a dirty trans filter. Try changing it, and putting in new fluid. - badbill1941

5)   Change the oil and flush the converter and cooling lines, if that dosent work remove the trans pan, if more than half a tablespoon of material in it time to rebuild, and also drop the vavle body and check the vavles and springs for binding and or wear. Also make sure the valve body isnt warped - rick b

6)   I would say it's most likely a valve sticking in the valve body, I've seen it happen before.

The thing you'll want to consider is this, would you rather repair the transmission on this car, or go ahead and get a replacement remanufactured unit? Since the car is almost 24 years old, you may just want to spend the money to get a remanufactured unit installed. Or, you may want to get rid of it all together and buy a different car instead of fixing this one. But, I like the 5th avenues and would probably get a remanufactured unit installed if it was my car, unless it had a lot of other problems that would keep me from wanting to fix it up.

The Chrysler reman will probably run about $1500 to $2000, but you should be able to get one for your car for around $1000 or less (prices are plus labor, of course).

Did a quick search and found this site that has one for $660 with a 1 year unlimited miles warranty (they give the option to buy longer warranties): http://info.automotix.net/transmissions/search.html?make=chrysler&model=5th_avenue&year=1986 However, I cannot vouch for them, as I've had no experience with them or their products. Plus, you'll have to add shipping, which will probably be around $200 unless you live near the KC area and can pick it up yourself. You could also call around and search for others closer to you that might have similar prices.

A valve body will probably cost around a couple hundred or more, plus labor. - Mark B

Question 4
question about my 2000 chrysler concorde?...  I have been having problems with oil pressure light coming on .I went to check my oil and itsmelled like gas, Is my car falling apart.....

Answers
1)   Do not run the car anymore until change new oil and filter and then find problem of fuel in oil,be it an excessive misfired,leaking fuel injector or bad fuel pressure regulator. - Carman Nguyen

2)   "Is my car falling apart....."
Maybe.
You should get the oil and filter changed.
You should then get the oil pressure wet tested - it's a relatively simple test that will determine if the engine has a oil pressure problem or, hopefully, just an electrical oil sender concern.
If the vehicle does only short trips in the winter with minimal warm up times, the oil may well "smell like gas." - LeAnne

3)   If your engine is the 2.7L, it's dieing a typical horrible death. Google it! Chrysler 2.7 problems! - p3200tmz

4)   These cars had problems with the oil light coming on when it shouldn't. In fact there is a bulletin on it at the dealer! Did the dipstick read over full when you sniffed it? If so, change the oil and filter and keep a sharp eye on it. Does the engine miss when you first start it up? This could be caused by an injector leaking down over night. Other than that, I don't know how gas got into the oil. - Jackolantern

Question 5
chrysler voyager 02 2.4L Shuts down when driving or stopping at red light?...  This Voyager has been hell!!!LOL Anyway question is when driving to work van begins to jerk then eventually shuts down as soon as i get it started and when on the hwy it hits a hill and struggles and proceeds to jerk upon stalling. I checked under hood to see if its over heating but the coolant cap is ice cold that shouldnt be! so i chage the thermastat for the water pump but still the same problem does anyone no what it could be?

Answers
1)   I had that issue with my vehicle too..it could be the fuel pump or the timing...good luck :) - Pilatesgirl

2)   my first instinct tells me it's the crank angle sensor. It could be many things though. - Ryan S

3)   running bad and or is it overheating

begins to jerk dirty fuel or a bad spark plug nothing to do with coolant

more likey dirty fuel happens more in winter drive it low on fuel alot tank sweats make water in tank runs bad jerks and dies - kelly_f_1999

4)   It is likely that the issue is with the overdrive. The transmission is not shifting our of overdrive. The times that this would need to happen, is when driving over 40 MPH and coming to a stop or loading the vehicle enough to require a down shift. This is common in the voyager.

Put the shifter into the drive position, not the overdrive position, and see if the issue disappears.

Unfortunately, these are usually internal issues, however, if you are willing to sacrifice gas mileage, you can drive the vehicle in drive - which will prohibit the overdrive from engaging.

Forget all of the fuel/spark/fuel pump ... those issues would occur all of the time, not just in select situation. I would also guess again with the crank sensor .. the van would not start at all if the sensor reported trouble.

Mechanics are too fast to plug in the computer and change parts ... a real test drive would have eliminated plenty of guessing. - telewheelsmike

7)   If it's a 2.7L, the motor is probably locked up and junk. - p3200tmz

8)   The battery should be measuring atleast 12.75v which is just at 75% capacity. I'm guessing it could be due to either a bad crank or camshaft position sensor. Maybe. - enjoi_2k4

Question 2
chrysler sebring car on very low milege and age are relatively ceap why?...  chrysler sebring 2008 reg. 20000miles on the clock is about 8000 pounds.BMW with same size of engine and on same age and miles costs around 18000 pounds?!IS CHRYSLER THAT BAD?

Answers
1)   CHRYSLER THAT BAD - kelly_f_1999

2)   Because your "Chrysler" is in fact a bit of Japanese crap. IE: Mitsubishi Colt ! - Trucky

3)   American junk that's why! Even the 300c is a recycled Mercedes. I had alook at one about 6 weeks ago, plenty of car for the money, but did a bit of research - ten foot pole was mentioned! Went instead for a Diesel Mazda 6 for same money & WELL pleased - george d

4)   Having had pretty darn good luck with Chrysler products for the last 50 years, I would say go with the Sebring. - badbill1941

5)   The BMW is considered a luxury car so you will pay more for it than a Chrysler. - C-Tech

6)   No Chrysler is not that bad just a lot more of them out there especially in the US and since your are talking about money in pounds my guess you are some where in GB and since the sebring is imported to Britian by way of US the import taxes are huge, that is why it is more expensive there, other way around here in the US. when buying new, BUT sinced it is a used car the value isnt that great since the parts to maintain it and repair are a lot more expensive and getting into a shop where there would be a qualified mechanic to work on it and have all the computer stuff to take care of any softwear updates and downloads if a computer had to be replaced - rick b

7)   The Sebring is a car laden with many, many problems. Also, if you have the 2.7L V6, then you have a defective engine.

Go to www.carcomplaints.com and you will find statements such as the following:

"Since 2001, the most commonly reported problem has been engine failure or timing chain problems with Chrysler's 2.7l engine, all caused by oil sludge. The oil sludge is produced by an apparent design defect with the 2.7-liter engine."

"The Chrysler Sebring has the most problems by a long shot, with well over three times more complaints than any other Chrysler model. The most defect-prone years are from the early 2000s." - Joe

Question 3
I have a 1986 chrysler 5th ave. v8. The tranny doesn't want to shift into 2 gear until it is warmed up. Help?...  

Answers
1)   replace fluid? truth is dodge always had bad transmissions but most likey dirty oil and filter

a transmission shop or a ny shop can replace fluids easy might help - kelly_f_1999

2)   The fluid level may be low. When it warms up the fluid expands and its ok. I suggest checking the fluid level and if low, add fluid and check for a leak. If fluid level is ok, then the filter may be clogging up. Change the filter and fluid. Good luck. - C-Tech

3)   An '86 5th Ave?!??! Geez that's pretty cool. You Win! - Yamamoto

4)   Sounds like a dirty trans filter. Try changing it, and putting in new fluid. - badbill1941

5)   Change the oil and flush the converter and cooling lines, if that dosent work remove the trans pan, if more than half a tablespoon of material in it time to rebuild, and also drop the vavle body and check the vavles and springs for binding and or wear. Also make sure the valve body isnt warped - rick b

6)   I would say it's most likely a valve sticking in the valve body, I've seen it happen before.

The thing you'll want to consider is this, would you rather repair the transmission on this car, or go ahead and get a replacement remanufactured unit? Since the car is almost 24 years old, you may just want to spend the money to get a remanufactured unit installed. Or, you may want to get rid of it all together and buy a different car instead of fixing this one. But, I like the 5th avenues and would probably get a remanufactured unit installed if it was my car, unless it had a lot of other problems that would keep me from wanting to fix it up.

The Chrysler reman will probably run about $1500 to $2000, but you should be able to get one for your car for around $1000 or less (prices are plus labor, of course).

Did a quick search and found this site that has one for $660 with a 1 year unlimited miles warranty (they give the option to buy longer warranties): http://info.automotix.net/transmissions/search.html?make=chrysler&model=5th_avenue&year=1986 However, I cannot vouch for them, as I've had no experience with them or their products. Plus, you'll have to add shipping, which will probably be around $200 unless you live near the KC area and can pick it up yourself. You could also call around and search for others closer to you that might have similar prices.

A valve body will probably cost around a couple hundred or more, plus labor. - Mark B

Answers
1)   It is probably the oil sending-unit (oil pump) you need to have it checked asap or you could seize your engine. It could possibly be the sensor, but it sounds more like the pump. - mama_sayed

2)   Could be worn oil pump or worn main rod berrings. - Sarah E

3)   It's either a bad oil sender switch, or eng has worn internal parts, big dollar labor parts. - done wrenching

4)   Unscrew the sending unit, and screw in an oil pressure Gage. If the pressure is up to snuff, hopefully it is just the sending unit. Otherwise, it sounds like you may have some lower end engine problems - badbill1941

5)   The oil pressure sending unit is bad or needs to be modified. There is a Chrysler technical service bulletin related to this. It should cost less than $100 to replace or repair. Good luck. - C-Tech

Question 2
Can I sue Chrysler for this? Air bag did not deploy!?...  My mom was in a accidnt with a teenager that was under the influence of marijuiana. My mom was driving my 2006 Chrysler 300 touring. She hitted him due to the kid failure to stop on red light. She t bone him at 42mph but lucky no one was hurt. Both cars are total, my car front was flat where the engine showed. Frames are all bent on the front. My question why did the air bag not deploy. If she didn't have her seat belt, she or an passenger could had fly out of the window.
You guys have to understand this is about something that could have saved people's life. Just say that one out of 3 didn't have his/her seat beat. That would have been life threatening. What has went wrong I don't know, the policemen also said why would the air bag not deploy.

Answers
1)   thats why they still tell you that even if you have airbags to wear seatbelts also...there is no guarantee anything works. - LedZep

2)   An airbag will not stop someone from flying out the window. No you can't sue. And you just said no one was hurt so what are you going to sue for.. what could have happened? PLEASE. your just a gold digger, we all pay higher premiums because of jerks that think they should sue everyone for every little thing. If you want to be rich, go make it. - G6er

3)   The true answer to your question is YES you can sue Chrysler. Now that being said there is certain criteria the air bag sensors have to see in order to deploy. The description you give would say the air bags should have deployed. Anytime there is a lawsuit in this manner there are ways of checking to see why the airbag didn't deploy. So answering your question yes you can sue Chrysler and I would advise it, if there is any fault that is not due to your neglect and the car is truly at fault you have a no lose situation.

But the question I have is did anyone in your car get injured that may not have been injured if the air bag would have deployed. If not then your lawsuit would simply be for personal gain and well that's what wrong with today judicial system as it is. We are always looking to sue someone to make a buck. Now if anyone was hurt and possibly wouldn't have been if the air bags worked, then go for it.



Then offer Chrysler the opputunity to look at your car and see if they can get to the root of the problem, but sueing them is just self gratifaction. - CURT W

4)   As Curt said yes you can sue, hell I can sue Curt for givng out legal advise if he is not a lawyer, dosent mean I am going to win or you for that matter. An air bag is a supplemental restraint system not a primary system, that is what seat belts are for. And you stated that your mom was with or was under the influence of weed ( your grammer on this whole thing is kind of out of place), that said if she was high then she is at fault, just like driving drunk. And every auto manufacture is very explicit about this that a air bag will not restrain you in the car if deployed and you dont have your seat belts on, in fact if you sit to close to the airbag without a seat belt the energy from you still moving forward and the airbag deploying can kill you, or at least small children, I have seen it break a womans nose (she didnt have her belt on)
As to why the bags didnt deploy I would need to see pics of the impact and both cars, in some cases it wont deploy based on where and how the final impact occured. How do I know this? went to Chrysler training on airbags at the Ontario, Ca trainging center, when Chrysler first released its air bags to the market - rick b

5)   Not any more since they are in bankruptcy and any lawsuit filed against these cheaters of our tax dollars would be useless as they cannot be held liable for it anymore. They can also include any settlement in the bankruptcy as well which means you are screwed either way. NEVER BUY CHRYSLER or JEEP. They have defrauded Americans out of 4.7 billion tax dollars and have no intention of paying it back. - nwohioguy

6)   People have sued Chrysler for airbags deploying in low speed collisions, or in which a child was injured from the force of the airbag which was designed to stop an adult. Since then, the automotive industry has developed smart airbags, which deploy based on the impact and the weight on the seat: these are sophisticated systems, and you shouldn't succeed in suing Chrysler, but there have been cases in which car makers have met every federal safety requirement, and have had a jury find them liable for injuries regardless, so who knows. If your mom T-boned another car, then it wasn't a head-on collision. Airbags are only designed to deploy under head-on collisions. If the Chrysler received an impact across the front bumper, then the force would have spun the car, and not created an impact strong enough to deploy the airbags. Be thankful your mom is alive and don't try to blame the carmaker for the actions of other idiot drivers. If you want a safer car, look at a Mercedes-Benz S-class, and see how much more that kind of safety is going to cost. Yes, safety- because the S-class is made with a great deal of high-strength steel. Are you or your mom willing to pay for that kind of peace-of-mind when no car maker on earth can guarantee a favorable outcome? - Ryan M

7)   Yes you can. But because your mom wasn't injured in the accident, (thank goodness) you wouldn't get much of a reward. But Chrysler probably would like to know why the SRS didn't deploy. Go to your local Chrysler dealer and ask to set up a meeting with their local Chrysler rep. when he/she makes their rounds. The dealer has to honor the request. - Jackolantern

can anyone tell me where to find gas filter on a 1998 Plymouth breeze---?

Question 1
can anyone tell me where to find gas filter on a 1998 Plymouth breeze---?...  car will not start--suspect filter

Answers
1)   you have a car manual ??? look in there or call a dealer (if you can find one...) - Chrys

2)   are you looking for the actual filter in store, or in the car? try autozone or o'rielly's, if you're looking for it in store. or whatever auto shop you have, if you're looking for it in the car... well...

there's a fuel filter in the gas tank, i know that for sure. that's annoying to get out, and in my camaro, involved cutting into the sheet metal in the backseat to get to it, since I didn't want to drop the tank.

there's also an inline fuel filter in most cars, and it looks like for your vehicle it is mounted on the frame above the rear of the fuel tank near the filter neck

OR

on the driver side frame near front door - r2k216

3)   ebay - MEA

4)   Look under the bottom start at fuel tank looking up the fuel line towards the motor; you will see it. It is an in line filter. - toad

5)   You have no inline fuel filter on that car it is in the fuel tank and is a sock type filter on the end of the fuel pump, if you could give more info we might be able to help. Like why do you suspect fuel, do you have fire, did it die or just wont strat does it crank. whats it sound like when it cranks. just the basic info helps - CURT W

6)   Its in the tank with the fuel pump, part of the pump and not serviced, when the pump goes out then you change the filter - rick b

7)   on the frame rail up high on Level with the Fuel tank it's hard to see - rubendon

8)   With all due respect, these guys are all incorrect. I have replaced the filter on a '99 Cirrus, which is a twin to the Breeze and Stratus. To see the filter, you must loosen the straps that hold the fuel tank up, and gently lower it maybe 6 inches. You can look above the tank and you will see a filter. It is stainless steel, and has 3 hoses going to/from it. They have quick disconnects. The filter is mounted to the "frame" above the tank with a single screw.
Here is a pic of the filter (although I am not a fan of Fram):
http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Fuel-Filter-Fram_22660847-P_4_R|GRPFILTAMS_976892684___
Be sure to wear eye protect, as sand that gets thrown on top of the tank will end up in your eyes. It's not an easy job the first time around, but it's really no too bad. You will go more by "feel" than by sight. You'll need to put the car on ramps to gain enough clearance to work. Also, OPEN the box and be sure the quick disconnects are included (haven't been lost). Time to change the fiilter should be 45 minutes, give or take. - GTCturboII

2)   are you looking for the actual filter in store, or in the car? try autozone or o'rielly's, if you're looking for it in store. or whatever auto shop you have, if you're looking for it in the car... well...

there's a fuel filter in the gas tank, i know that for sure. that's annoying to get out, and in my camaro, involved cutting into the sheet metal in the backseat to get to it, since I didn't want to drop the tank.

there's also an inline fuel filter in most cars, and it looks like for your vehicle it is mounted on the frame above the rear of the fuel tank near the filter neck

OR

on the driver side frame near front door - r2k216

3)   ebay - MEA

4)   Look under the bottom start at fuel tank looking up the fuel line towards the motor; you will see it. It is an in line filter. - toad

5)   You have no inline fuel filter on that car it is in the fuel tank and is a sock type filter on the end of the fuel pump, if you could give more info we might be able to help. Like why do you suspect fuel, do you have fire, did it die or just wont strat does it crank. whats it sound like when it cranks. just the basic info helps - CURT W

6)   Its in the tank with the fuel pump, part of the pump and not serviced, when the pump goes out then you change the filter - rick b

7)   on the frame rail up high on Level with the Fuel tank it's hard to see - rubendon

8)   With all due respect, these guys are all incorrect. I have replaced the filter on a '99 Cirrus, which is a twin to the Breeze and Stratus. To see the filter, you must loosen the straps that hold the fuel tank up, and gently lower it maybe 6 inches. You can look above the tank and you will see a filter. It is stainless steel, and has 3 hoses going to/from it. They have quick disconnects. The filter is mounted to the "frame" above the tank with a single screw.

Be sure to wear eye protect, as sand that gets thrown on top of the tank will end up in your eyes. It's not an easy job the first time around, but it's really no too bad. You will go more by "feel" than by sight. You'll need to put the car on ramps to gain enough clearance to work. Also, OPEN the box and be sure the quick disconnects are included (haven't been lost). Time to change the fiilter should be 45 minutes, give or take. - GTCturboII

Question 2
Can I sue Chrysler for this? Air bag did not deploy!?...  My mom was in a accidnt with a teenager that was under the influence of marijuiana. My mom was driving my 2006 Chrysler 300 touring. She hitted him due to the kid failure to stop on red light. She t bone him at 42mph but lucky no one was hurt. Both cars are total, my car front was flat where the engine showed. Frames are all bent on the front. My question why did the air bag not deploy. If she didn't have her seat belt, she or an passenger could had fly out of the window.
You guys have to understand this is about something that could have saved people's life. Just say that one out of 3 didn't have his/her seat beat. That would have been life threatening. What has went wrong I don't know, the policemen also said why would the air bag not deploy.

Answers
1)   thats why they still tell you that even if you have airbags to wear seatbelts also...there is no guarantee anything works. - LedZep

2)   An airbag will not stop someone from flying out the window. No you can't sue. And you just said no one was hurt so what are you going to sue for.. what could have happened? PLEASE. your just a gold digger, we all pay higher premiums because of jerks that think they should sue everyone for every little thing. If you want to be rich, go make it. - G6er

3)   The true answer to your question is YES you can sue Chrysler. Now that being said there is certain criteria the air bag sensors have to see in order to deploy. The description you give would say the air bags should have deployed. Anytime there is a lawsuit in this manner there are ways of checking to see why the airbag didn't deploy. So answering your question yes you can sue Chrysler and I would advise it, if there is any fault that is not due to your neglect and the car is truly at fault you have a no lose situation.

But the question I have is did anyone in your car get injured that may not have been injured if the air bag would have deployed. If not then your lawsuit would simply be for personal gain and well that's what wrong with today judicial system as it is. We are always looking to sue someone to make a buck. Now if anyone was hurt and possibly wouldn't have been if the air bags worked, then go for it.



Then offer Chrysler the opputunity to look at your car and see if they can get to the root of the problem, but sueing them is just self gratifaction. - CURT W

4)   As Curt said yes you can sue, hell I can sue Curt for givng out legal advise if he is not a lawyer, dosent mean I am going to win or you for that matter. An air bag is a supplemental restraint system not a primary system, that is what seat belts are for. And you stated that your mom was with or was under the influence of weed ( your grammer on this whole thing is kind of out of place), that said if she was high then she is at fault, just like driving drunk. And every auto manufacture is very explicit about this that a air bag will not restrain you in the car if deployed and you dont have your seat belts on, in fact if you sit to close to the airbag without a seat belt the energy from you still moving forward and the airbag deploying can kill you, or at least small children, I have seen it break a womans nose (she didnt have her belt on)
As to why the bags didnt deploy I would need to see pics of the impact and both cars, in some cases it wont deploy based on where and how the final impact occured. How do I know this? went to Chrysler training on airbags at the Ontario, Ca trainging center, when Chrysler first released its air bags to the market - rick b

5)   Not any more since they are in bankruptcy and any lawsuit filed against these cheaters of our tax dollars would be useless as they cannot be held liable for it anymore. They can also include any settlement in the bankruptcy as well which means you are screwed either way. NEVER BUY CHRYSLER or JEEP. They have defrauded Americans out of 4.7 billion tax dollars and have no intention of paying it back. - nwohioguy

2)   Because your "Chrysler" is in fact a bit of Japanese crap. IE: Mitsubishi Colt ! - Trucky

3)   American junk that's why! Even the 300c is a recycled Mercedes. I had alook at one about 6 weeks ago, plenty of car for the money, but did a bit of research - ten foot pole was mentioned! Went instead for a Diesel Mazda 6 for same money & WELL pleased - george d
