EAGLE Complaints

THE BODY AND FRAME PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN IT SNOWS, SNOW IS FOUND INSIDE MY VEHICLE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. WHAT CAN I DO BESIDES GOING TO A BODY AND FRAME SHOP? THE SECOND PROBLEM IS THAT THE CLEAR COAT ON THE VEHICLE IS COMING OFF. I HAVE GONE TO 3 PAINT SHOPS. ALL THREE HAVE TOLD ME IT IS CAUSED BY A DEFECT IN THE CLEAR COAT AND HAVE TOLD ME I SHOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURE. WHO DO I CONTACT SINCE EAGLE WAS BOUGHT OUT IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM.

SEAT BELT WILL NOT REWIND BELT FULLY AND GETS TRAPED IN THE DOOR UPON CLOSING CASSING DAMAGE TO THE BELT OVER APERIOD OF TIME. CARE MUST BE TAKEN BY THE DRIVE TO SEE THAT THE BELT IS INSIDE THE CAR TO AVOID FURTHER DAMAGE

RECALL NHTSA# 98V184000. FUEL INJECTION DELIVERY SYSTEM CAN LEAK FUEL FROM SOME OF THE SEALING O-RINGS OR FROM HAIR LINE CRACKS IN THE THERMOSTAT FUEL INJECTION RAIL. THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT IN GOOD CONDITION TO DRIVE. THE CONSUMER WANTS TO GET THIS SAFETY PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *CB *JB

I HAVE REASON TO BELEVE THAT MY FUEL SYSTEM RECALL WAS NOT DONE/ OR NOT DONE RIGHT. I HAVE READ THE HOLE REPORT ABOUT IT, AND IN THE REPORT IT SAYS THAT THE ALIGNMENT MARKS MUST REMAIN LINED UP BEFORE, DURNING AND AFTER INSTALLING THE PUMP AND GAUGE UNIT. DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP OR GAUGE UNIT TO ROTATE DURING OR AFTER INSTALLATION INTO THE TANK, RESULTING IN INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READING, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THIS REPAIR TO BE REPEATED. NOW MY PROBLEM IS, THAT WHEN MY SAYS ITS ON 3/4 TANK IT IS EMPTY, I GET A FUEL LIGHT AND MY CAR SPUTTERS AND FUEL CUT OFF HAPPENS. I ALMOST STALLED ON 220, DOING ABOUT 65MPH. THAT WOULD NOT OF BEEN GOOD. I DONT KNOW IF THIS WAS DONE OR DONE INCORRECTLY BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, NOW DSC SAYS I SHOULD'T WORRY ABOUT IT.*AK

FOR MANY YEARS I HAVE BEEN BAFFELD WITH A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. I HAVE REPLACED THE ENTIRE FRONT. THESE ARE THE PARTS I HAVE REPLACED BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS, BOTH INER AND OUTER TIERODS, BOTH UPPER STRUT MOUNTS/STRUTS, STABILIZER BAR LINKS, BOTH DRIVESHAFTS, BOTH FONT WHEEL BEARINGS. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION AS A LAST RESORT LOOKED AT THE RACK AND PINION UNIT AND DISCOVERED THAT THE CROSSMEMBER THAT THE RACK AND PINION UNIT IS MOUNTED TO IS MOVING WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT. IT'S MY GREATAST FEAR THAT THE CROSSMEMBER THAT THE RACK AND PINION IS MOUNTED TO WILL BREAK AWAY FROM THE BODY OF THE CAR, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF STEERING CAUSING A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT OR WORSE A LOSS OF LIFE. THE CROSSMEMBER IS THE FOUNDATION POINT OR PLATFORM WHERE THE RACK AND PINION IS MOUNTED TO. THIS CROSSMEMBER SHOULD BE A RELIABLE AND SAFE MOUNTING POINT FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. *AK

WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION WAS THROWN INTO ANOTHER GEAR UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS CAUSED A KNOCKING NOISE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE DRIVER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM. *JB

TWO YEARS AGO LOWER LATERAL ARM BALL JOINT WAS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL. ON 11/29/2003, THE LOWER LATERAL ARM BALL JOINT SEPARATED, CAUSING THE LEFT FRONT TIRE TO DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE. DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. *AK

WHILE CHANGING A FLAT TIRE, THE JACK COLLAPSED. *AK THE CONSUMER FELT THAT THE JACK SHOULD BE REPLACED ALONG WITH A LETTER OF APOLOGY FROM THE MANUFACTURER. *LA *JB

NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. *SCC *JB
