The frame problem did also affect the early 2000 cars, but were caught before they left the plant (mostly red, but some black also). That is why there are several 2000 model cars that went to auction as "repaired" cars. Check this link. Recall Number: 98V104000 Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles. The back light bulbs for the liquid crystal display for the gear shift position (PRNDL) and the odometer were not properly installed.

Consequence of Defect: Corrective Action: I knew nothing about my Prowler before I came to this site. Not only will you learn about keeping your Prowler in excellent condition, you will also make many great friends. I have no idea what my Prowler will be worth if I ever get rid of it (not likely). But if it's worth less I'll divide the loss by the pleasure I've had and feel like it was still worth every cent....Just do it... 14-04-99 OCT 99 Fuel Tank - Slow To Fill Or Will Only Fill To Half Full Anyone know details for fix? Doh!.. i get it now This message has been edited by binster on 07-19-2007 at 03:42 PM Look just above your post for that "edit" icon.Dave Haggas Hi Ladies and Gents.
I am still looking for Prowlers here in the UK.I have found a 99 model.I understand that there was a factory recall during this period.Does anyone know what it was for?
I will get the vin number and verify through Chrysler if it was done.But if a car was imported when new,would it be up to the individual to take the car to a Plymouth dealer for the work to be done?Howard Dave
http://www.chrysler.com/webselfservice/chrysler/index.jsp?screenName=recall&country=us&emailUrl=goToEmailForm%28%27R%27%29 BeWare The major recall around that time was a Ball Joint recall. Sorry the Ball Joint recall came around for all Kats 2003. I remember now, there was a frame welds recall for 99's Dave Haggas Thanks Howard,I will try this as soon as I get the vin number.My question is what were/are the recalls on the 99 model Prowlers?Suspension?

This site is made up of some of the finest people you ever want to communicate with or meet. Everyone is here to help each other. Dave Haggas Thank you all for you help.I am looking at a 99 Prowler for my next toy.
The trouble for me is still that of cost,in the fact that it is a lot of money to give someone for a toy!!
I have driven it and it drives fine.It needs some money spent regards wheel curbing,some scratches on the body etc.
Oh what to do?The trouble is there are not to many over here.
I was contacted by a really good guy from this site who has 2 Prowlers,one looks absolutely stunning and is for sale.Unfortunatly it is out of reach for me financially.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!bjprowler Hi Dave!...It is a lot of money for a "toy" but think of it as an investment in having fun....When, (and if) you ever re-sell it the difference is what all that fun actually cost you (assuming you even lose anything)... ed monahan Fixing curb rash is next to impossible without replacing the rims. That could get expensive.
The cars are not depreciating much at all and MAY have bottomed out. No one can predict that with certainty. Even considering that, you won't lose much money on this car. Much less than almost any car out there, in fact.binster Hmm.. been on my "to-do" list.. Maybe this TSB is why my 99 only takes 8 gals at the pump? binster Hmm.. wish I knew how to edit my prior post vs. putting new one in.. But, fyi - found a "longer" list for TSBs
