DEALER PLACED THE VEHICLE ON DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE, AND MECHANIC INFORMED DETERMINED THAT THE O2 SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND WERE REPLACED. CONSUMERR INFORMED THE MECHANIC THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE, AND HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *AK

THE BOLTS WHICH HELD THE STEERING LINKS TO THE RACK AND PINION SHEARED OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS RESULTED IN LOST OF STEERING POWER, WHICH ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *JB

RECALL 96V158002 CONCERNING FUEL FUMES. VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING PROBLEM WITH FUEL/FUMES ESCAPING FROM THE FUEL TANK. STRONG FUME VAPORS WERE GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP OR IDLING POSITION. DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED AND THEY INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 1993 EAGLE SUMIT, PURCHASED IN DOVER DE. WITHIN IN THE FIRS TWO YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE SEAT BELT HARNESS WAS RECALLED BY THE MANUFACURE. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL. OVER THE YEARS THE SEAT BELT HARNESS HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY, OFTEN STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT OR HAVIGN A SLIPPING ACTION WHILE IN THE BELT WHEN STOPPING. THE SEAT BELT HARNESS RECENTLY STOPPED WORKING COMPLETLY.TTHE SEAT BELT HARNESS WAS CONSIDERED TO BE A SAFETY PROBEM NOTED AT MY RECENT RE-INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TO INQUIRE ABOUT REPAIRS/REPLACEMENT OF THE RECALLED SEATBELT HARNESS. AND AND ANY WARRANTY/GUARNTEE OF THE CURRENT RECALLED SEAT BELT.THE DEALERSHIP'S CURREN MANAGER STATED THAT CHRYLSER DOES NOT REINBURSE FOR RECALL PARTS IN VEHICLES THIS OLD. THE CURRENT COST TO REPLACE THE SEAT BELT HARNES IS OVER $600.00 DOLLARS PLUS LABOR AS QUOATED BY HERTICH/ JEEP & EAGLE DEALER IN DOVER, DE. I WAS ALSO GIVEN A RUN AROUND BY THE STORE'S GENERAL MANAGER REGARDING HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WARRANTY'S FOR PARTS & REPARIS VERSES WARRANTY/GUARANTEE ON RECALL PARTS BY MANUFACURES? AT THE PRESENT TIME, I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE CAR NOT PASSING INSPECTION DUE TO THE SEAT BELT HARNESS PROBLEM AND THE HIGH COST OF THE REPLACEMENT PART. THE LAP BELT THAT IS IN THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE OK (NOT SURE) HOW THE TWO OF THESE WORK TOGETHER IN THIS VEHICLE . AT THIS POINT I AM UNABLE TO GET ANY ANSWERS REGARDING CHRYSLER'S RESPONSIBLITY REGARDING THIS RECALLED SEATBELT AND ANY REAL DANGERS THAT MAY STILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SEAT BELT HARNESS. TO PAY OVER $600.00 DOLLARS FOR A RECALLED MANUFATURES DEFECT PART SEEMS UNFAIR. IF THE PART COST THIS MUCH FOR REPLACEMENT, THEN IT MUST HAVE SOME LIABILITY AND NOTED SAFETY ISSUE ATTACHED TO THE PART ITSELF. SHOULDN'T THE LIABILITY OF THE REPLACEMENT PART BE THE MANUFACTURER OR THE OWNER? *AK

WHILE DRIVING GAS FUME ODOR WAS COMING FROM THE VENTS. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT RECALL 96V158002 FOR REPLACEMENT OF FUEL TANK AS ISSUED. MECHANIC REPLACED IT ON THIS VEHICLE. BUT, CONSUMER INFORMED THE MECHANIC THAT PROBLEM RECURRED, AND HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *AK

1996 EAGLE VISION 3.3L EXHIBITED SAME SYMPTOMS AS OUTLINED IN RECALL FOR SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL (EXCEPT FOR 3.5L) CONCERNING FUEL RAIL LEAKAGE. FUEL LEAKED FROM RIGHT SIDE AND REAR OF ENGINE. REPAIR SHOP CONFIRMED THAT FEUL RAIL HAD DISCONNECTED FROM FUEL LINE AND ADVISED THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. CONTACTED NUMEROUS CHRYSLER DEALERS FOR ADVICE ON REPAIRS SHORT OF REPLACEENT AND THEY STATED THAT THEY EITHER HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY SIMILAR PROBLEM OR WHERE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PROBLEM. HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS MYSELF, WHICH WILL RUN NEARLY 700 DOLLARS. FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THESE REPAIRS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO THE ONE OUTLINED IN THE RECALL, AND THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.*AK

1997 EAGLE TALON TSI FWD (IDENTICAL TO MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GS-T OF THE SAME YEAR) HAS A PROBLEM WITH FAILING CRANKSHAFT BEARINGS, CAUSING THE CRANK TO BE ABLE TO MOVE AROUND. IT IS PHYSICALLY MOVABLE BY HAND LEFT AND RIGHT AND UP AND DOWN INSTEAD OF BEING STATIONARY. CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AS THIS "WALKING CRANK" COULD CRACK THE SHORT BLOCK AT ANY TIME RENDERING THE CAR IMMOBILE. MITSUBISHI/CHRYSLER REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DEFECT AND WILL NOT FIX IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS IS A DEFECT IN ABOUT HALF OF THEIR 95-99 ECLIPSE/TALONS WITH THE 2.0L DOCK TURBO ENGINE, AND THEY REFUSE TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE IT EXISTS. THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND MITSUBISHI HAS AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.*AK

THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED IN THE FLOOR SHIFT IGNITION-PARK INTERLOCK RECALL 04V021000, BUT THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *AK THE VEHICLE COULD BE SHIFTED INTO GEAR WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. (EAGLE VISION/TSI) *SC *JB

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES PEDAL PULSATED AND STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED. CONSUMER DROVE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT BOTH FRONTAL BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK
