DEFECT STATED IN THE TRANSFER CASE RECALL 98 V 069 002 OCCURRED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. AS A RESULT, THE BUSHING IN THE EXTENSION HOUSING WORE OUT AND DEVELOPED A LEAK. DEALERSHIP WAS REFUSING TO REPAIR THE BUSHING.*AK

CONTINUAL FUEL LEAKING AND EXTREME EXHAUST FUMES IN CABIN RESULTING IN HEADACHES AND BREATHING DIFFICULTY! IT WILL NOT PASS EMISSIONS CHECKS. IT EATS GAS AND IS CONTINUALLY CLOGGING OTHER ENGINE COMPONENTS. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO FIX PROBLEMS AND NOTHING CHANGES. THE LEAKS CANNOT BE FOUND. I CANNOT AFFORD TO CONTINUE TO FIX THIS, AND AM IN A PLACE WHERE I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET SOMETHING ELSE. I AM STUCK. NOTHING WAS DISCLOSED TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED IT FROM A DEALER, AND CARFAX HISTORY CAME BACK CLEAN. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! *JB

I OWN A 1995 EAGLE TALON WHICH HAS A SAFETY RECALL, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 00V421002. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE RECALL WAS DISCOVERED WHEN THE LOWER BALL JOINT SEPERATED AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATLEY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE RIGHT BROKEN BALL JOINT WITH THE NEWLY DESIGNED LATERAL ARM BALL JOINT FREE OF CHARGE. THE BALL JOINT I HAVE REFERRED TO IS THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT WHICH WAS INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY TO THE FIRST PURCHASER. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO STATED THAT THE LEFT BALL JOINT IS ALSO DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH THE NEWLY DESIGNED LATERAL ARM BALL JOINT. THEIR REASON FOR NOT COMPLYING WITH THE RECALL FREE OF CHARGE IS THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN LOWERED. THE LOWERING OF THE VEHICLE DID NOT INVOLVE THE REPLACEMENT OR ALTERATIONS MADE ON THE BALL JOINT LATERAL ARM IN ANY WAY AND DOES NOT MAKE THE VEHICLE MORE DIFFICULT TO REPAIR. IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT THE LOWER LATERAL ARM BALL JOINT IS DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL REGULATION 49 CFR PART 577 REQUIRING NOTIFICATION TO PURCHASERS OF SAFETY RECALLS. (CHRYSLER HAS MY OWNER INFORMATION ON FILE.) TITLE 49 OF THE USC STATES THE MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE TO REPLACE FREE OF CHARGE, ANY SAFETY- RELATED DEFECT OF AN ITEM OF ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THANK YOU. *LA

THE VEHICLE'S ABS CONTROL UNIT EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT STATED IN RECALL 96 V 099 000. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER NO LONGER MADE THE PART. *NLM

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT WITH THE TRANSFER CASE AS STATED IN RECALL 98 V 168 003; BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL DUE TO VIN.*AK *TS *JB

I OWN A 1992 EAGLE TALON TSI AWD. I HAVE LEARNED OF A TRANSFER CASE RECALL ON THIS CAR. MAINLY BECAUSE MINE JUST BLEW UP. THIS CAR HAS ALREADY BEEN IN FOR THE RECALL, BUT CHRYSLER (DEALERSHIP, HUDSON, WI 54016) HAS SAID TO ME THAT AT THE TIME THERE WAS NO SIGN OF A PROBLEM. THERE IS NOW A PROBLEM. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID IT WAS UP TO THE DEALERSHIP WEATHER OR NOT TO REPLACE FOR FREE. I HAVE BEEN READING AND HAVE FOUND PLACES TO SAY "THE RECALL IS FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE CAR". IS THIS TRUE? I WOULD LIKE A LETTER OR SOMETHING STATING ONE WAY OR THE OTHER THAT THIS RECALL IS FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR, BECAUSE WHAT IF THE PROBLEM ISN'T FIXED THE FIRST TIME AND I'M GOING 70, THEN MY T-CASE DECIDES TO LOCK UP CAUSE ALL THE OIL LEAKED OUT, I'D BE DEAD. I'M SORT OF MAD AT CHRYSLER RIGHT NOW, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE MY FACT ARE STRAIGHT ABOUT THIS BEING A "SAFETY RECALL", AND THAT IT IS FOR THE "LIFE TIME OF THE CAR". THANK YOU. *NLM

VEHICLE DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF. *MR THE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE HAD BROKEN OFF WHEN A FAMILY MEMBER TRIED TO GET IN THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAD BROKEN OFF AS WELL. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART(S). *SCC

THE DEALERSHIP ONLY REPLACED THE RIGHT SIDE BALL JOINT UNDER RECALL 00 V 421 002, BUT THE LEFT BALL JOINT ALSO FAILED. *AK WHILE IN MOTION THE BALL JOINT SEPARATED. THE LEFT FRONT TIRE LOCKED UP, THE AXLE BROKE, AND THE VEHICLE SKIDDED INTO A DITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED THE RECALL (#00V421002) BEFORE, WHERE THEY ONLY REPLACED THE RIGHT BALL JOINT. THE DEALERS NEGLIGENCE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *SCC *JB
