1995 EAGLE TALON Complaints

MY WHEELS LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DOING ABOUT 60 MPH. IT CAUSED ME TO SWERVE INTO THE OTHER LANE. THANK GOD THERE WAS NOT ANY TRAFFIC COMING OR SOMEONE COULD OF BEEN HURT. THE MECHANIC SAID ITS THE TRANSFER CASE, WHICH IS ALREADY GOT A RECALL BUT THERE IS A THING THAT ALL TALONS, ECLIPSES, AND LASERS GET FROM THEIR YEARS OF 90-98, HAVE A THING CALLED CRANKWALK WHICH CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS ALSO BUT CHRYSLER OR MITSUBISHI WONT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR.*JB

PURCHASED TIRE FROM SEARS 16 DAYS EARLIER, HAD A BLOW OUT OF THE SIDEWALL WHICH CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

I WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE UNREASONABLE DAMAGE DUE TO EXTERIOR RUST FORMING IN A STRESS-BEARING AREA OF MY 1995 EAGLE TALON. SPECIFICALLY, THE RIGHT-FRONT MOUNTING POINTS FOR THE STRUT AND UPPER 'A' ARM HAVE RUSTED INTO NON-EXISTENCE. THERE IS VERY LITTLE RUST ON OTHER PARTS OF THE AUTOMOBILE. *AK

THE CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. THE CONSUMER PULLED OFF THE ROAD, AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THERE WAS A PART THAT CAME OFF OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS LATER FOUND THAT THE TRANSFER CASE FELL OUT, WHICH CAUSED OTHER DAMAGE AND LOW LEVEL OF OIL, EVEN THOUGH THE FLUID LEVEL WAS CHECKED PRIOR. THE MANUFACTURER TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR EVALUATION. AFTER THE EVALUATION, THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THIS WASN'T THE PROBLEM. OWNER HAS DOCUMENTATION OF SERVICE RECORDS. NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 98V069002 TRANSFER CASE. *AK *SC *JB

WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT. SUDDENLY, VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY.
