Chrysler Fifth avenue problems
The Chrysler Fifth Avenue was a trim level/option package or model name used by Chrysler for its larger sedans from 1979 to 1993. The Fifth Avenue name was no longer used after 1993 when Chrysler introduced its new LH-platform New Yorker and similar LHS. The title "Fifth Avenue" references a street in New York City which contains many upscale shops and cultural attractions. The Chrysler Building is two blocks east of Fifth Avenue.
In 1980, realizing that they needed to offer a comparable luxury sedan to the Cadillac Fleetwood and Lincoln Town Car, Chrysler offered the Fifth Avenue trim package as an option on the R-body New Yorker.
In 1982, further downsizing put the New Yorker model on the M-body platform, with a Fifth Avenue package available. In 1983, to distinguish the M-body New Yorker from the new AE-body New Yorker, the Fifth Avenue name was added to the M-body, so it became the one-year-only New Yorker Fifth Avenue. In 1984, the M-body Chrysler was simply the Fifth Avenue, a name it kept through 1989. The AE New Yorker morphed into the AC body New Yorker in 1988, although all 3 New Yorker models were offered that year (AE New Yorker Turbo, AC New Yorker, and M-body Fifth Avenue).
After the discontinuance of the M-body in mid-1989, Chrysler offered an even smaller Fifth Avenue on the AC platform in 1990, which ran through 1993.
In 1994, a new LH-body New Yorker appeared, as did a companion LH Chrysler, the LHS, in 1996. The New Yorker bowed out after 1997, and was not replaced until the 2005 Chrysler 300 LX. The LHS was discontinued after 2001 and was not replaced.

Common Chrysler Fifth avenue problems
The Chrysler Fifth Avenue is a classic car that has been known for its reliability and longevity, but like any other car, it can have some common problems that owners have reported.
One of the most common issues with the Chrysler Fifth Avenue is hesitation while driving and stalling out, particularly when slowing down or stopping. This problem has been reported by owners of various model years, including 1988 and 1990. The cause of this issue can vary, but it may be related to the carburetor or fuel system. In some cases, cleaning or rebuilding the carburetor may solve the problem, while in others, the fuel filter, fuel pump, or rubber fuel lines may need to be replaced, especially if the car is running on modern gasoline with ethanol. The fuel system may also need to be checked for leaks or blockages.
Another common problem with the Chrysler Fifth Avenue is rough idling and stalling, particularly when the engine is cold. This issue has been reported by owners of a 1989 model and may be related to the choke system. The choke plate should open slightly when the gas pedal is stepped on and close when released. If the choke plate does not open or close properly, there may be a problem in the choke system. Checking the choke system and replacing any worn-out parts may solve this problem.
The front suspension of the Chrysler Fifth Avenue has also been identified as a weak point, particularly in late 80's models. The transverse torsion bar setup did not hold up well as the cars aged, leading to suspension problems. Regular maintenance and inspection of the suspension system can help prevent or address these issues.
In addition to these mechanical issues, the Chrysler Fifth Avenue may also experience problems with the air conditioning system. The condenser, which is responsible for cooling the refrigerant, may leak or fail over time, leading to reduced cooling performance or complete failure of the air conditioning system. Replacing the condenser or converting the system to use modern refrigerant may be necessary to address this issue.
In summary, the Chrysler Fifth Avenue is a reliable and long-lasting car, but it can experience common problems related to the carburetor or fuel system, choke system, suspension, and air conditioning system. Regular maintenance and inspection can help prevent or address these issues, and addressing them promptly can help ensure the longevity and reliability of the car.

The Fifth Avenue name was discontinued at the end of the 1993 model year when the New Yorker was replaced by the redesigned, longer, and more aerodynamic 1994 New Yorker and similar LHS.

- Date Of Incident: 2014-05-28
- Date Complaint: 2014-06-07
- VIN: 1C3XV66L2ND
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: I WAS ON MY WAY TO CHURCH, DRIVING IN A 30 MPH SPEED ZONE, GOING DOWN HILL, COMING TO A STOP AND IT HAD JUST STARTED RAINING. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES I STARTED SLIDING/HYDROPLANING ALL OVER THE ROAD, FIRST INTO THE ONCOMING LANE, THEN BACK TO MY LANE, BUT OFF TO THE EDGE AND FINALLY MANAGED TO STOP JUST AT THE STOP SIGN. THERE WAS TRAFFIC ALL AROUND ME, BUT THANKFULLY I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE OR GO OFF INTO THE RAVINE. I HAD JUST HAD NEW BRAKE PADS PUT ON 2 WEEKS BEFORE. MY TIRES WERE WEARING, BUT MY MECHANIC/TIRE SALESMAN SAID I DIDN'T NEED NEW TIRES YET, I STILL HAD PLENTY OF TREAD. AS SOON AS I COULD PULL OVER AND CALL HIM, I SCHEDULED AN APPT. FOR NEW TIRES 2 DAYS LATER. I AM A WIDOW AND AM VERY CAREFUL TO KEEP THE CAR IN GOOD SHAPE SO MY CHANCES OF GETTING STRANDED ARE AS LOW AS I KNOW HOW TO KEEP THEM. MY SON AND SOME OTHER MEN AT CHURCH HAD ALSO LOOKED AT THE TIRES AND SAID I DIDN'T NEED TO CHANGE THEM. SO, I STARTED WONDERING WHAT COULD HAVE MADE ME HYDROPLANE LIKE THAT IF THE TIRES WEREN'T BAD, AND HAD I SPENT THE MONEY ON NEW ONES NEEDLESSLY? THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO RESEARCH THE RECALL SITE. AND I FOUND ANOTHER INCIDENT ALMOST IDENTICAL TO MINE, COMPLAINT FILED 10/06/2008. ALSO, THE ODOMETER DOESN'T WORK, SO I REALLY DON'T KNOW THE ACTUAL MILES. IT IS MORE THAN 165,000. THAT IS WHAT IS SHOWING. IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED, I NEED TO KNOW. THE CAR RUNS GOOD, BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE UNSAFE IN IT. THAT WAS A VERY SCARY INCIDENT AND I KNOW THE LORD WAS WITH ME AND THE OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IN TESTING HIM, KNOWING THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE! IN THIS INCIDENT THERE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A CRASH, INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. *TR
