Imperial Home Page -> Imperials by Year -> 1991 -> Nate Mattson's 1991
I acquired my 1991 Chrysler Imperial in January of 2010 at a car auction in Olympia WA. The winning bid was around $550 I knew I had to have the car, as I have always loved the newer imperials. The car however did have some issues, which needed repair.
ABS light and Brake light were on. I had almost no brakes. After taking it to a local repair shop and leaving it there for close to 2 months they were unable to repair the ABS system. I was doing some research online when I came across many people with he same problem I was having. Apparently these late 80�s to early 90�s Dynasty�s, New Yorkers, and Imperials with ABS were prone to Brake system failure. Chrysler had given the ABS system a lifetime warranty and all that was needed was to take the car to the dealer. Sure enough less than a week later my cars ABS system was repaired and my only cost was some labor.
Odometer was not counting the miles. I have the analog cluster in my imperial. I replaced it with one from a wrecking yard out of a 1990 Dodge Dynasty however my fuel gauge started bouncing so I ordered one from ebay in AS IS condition out of a 1989 Dynasty. Thought all was well as my fuel gauge was now working however my odometer from the 1989 was not working right. What I did to remedy this was to take the speedometer section out of the cluster of the 1990 Dynasty and installed the rest of the gauges from the �89 Dynasty into my gauge housing for my imperial. Got it fixed
It had some electrical problems I believe from an after-market stereo installation, Also the trunk motor was not functioning got that replaced from one I found on ebay.
I went ahead and replaced the fuel pump as it was having acceleration issues. That cured it right up.
After I got the bugs worked out of the Imperial, it has turned out to be a great car I have pretty much given the car to my mother who loves the smooth quiet ride. I believe the car has about 180,000 miles on it but due to the odometer failure I can�t be certain. I am a proud owner of a 1991 Chrysler Imperial and have no intentions of selling it.
