EAGLE Complaints

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR CURRENT RECALL ON BALL JOINT BOOT ON 3/16/01. DEALER REPORTED PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND COULD TAKE UP TO ONE YEAR TO GET PART. I DONT FEEL THE RECALL LETTER READS INDICATES THE URGENCY NOR THE SERIOUSNESS OF NOT GETTING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. AS OF 3/16/01 THE LEFT BALL JOINT HAD NO PROBLEM WITH BOOT WHEN INSPECTED ALTHOUGH THE RIGHT BOOT HAD CRACKED. THE LEFT BALL JOINT WAS THE ONE THAT SEPARATED CAUSING THE ACCIDENT. THE RECALL IS FOR INSPECTION OF BOOT AND REPLACEMENT IF NEEDED. I AM GLAD I WASN'T DOING 65 MPH WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. MAYBE CHRYSLER SHOULD RETHINK THERE MOTIVE FOR INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT AS NECESSARY AND REPLACE THE ALL BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE.

HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES ON BOTH SIDES OF VEHICLE ARE ALLOWING MOISTURE IN. THIS IS CAUSING HEADLIGHTS TO FOG UP, AND IS PREVENTING PROPER PERFORMANCE OF THIS SYSTEM. DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EXAMINED VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND WHERE MY CAR HAD A RECALL IN 1998 FOR THE POWER TRAIN TRANSMISSION AUTOMATIC. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE OF THIS RECALL. OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, I HAVE BEEN HAVING OIL LEAKS. I HAD A HEAD GASKET REPLACED IN LATE 1999. I HAD AN OIL LEAK AGAIN THIS YEAR, IN MARCH 2001. THEY HAD TO REPAIR THE OIL DRAIN PLUG. THEN IN MAY 2001, I HAD TO GET THE MAIN SEAL VALVE FIXED. LATE JULY 2001, THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. NOW APPARENTLY THE OIL IS BURNING INSIDE THE ENGINE. IF THIS RECALL HAD BEEN DONE ON MY CAR, COULD THIS HAVE BEEN PREVENTED? CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK FOR THE MONEY THAT I HAVE SPENT, IF IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE AS PART OF THE RECALL? I'M NOW AT THE POINT WHERE I HAVE TO HAVE OIL CHANGES EVERY TWO MONTHS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE CAR UNTIL I CAN AFFORD A NEW ONE. ANY ASSISTANCE, WILL BE GREAT.

CONSUMER CONTATCED DEALER FOR RECALL REPAIRS CONCERNING NHTSA RECALL 00V421002/ MANUFACTURER'S RECAL 967 FOR LOWER BALL JOINTS. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE WORK BECAUSE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

AT 22,000 MILES MY VEHICLE LOST 50% OF ITS LEFT TURN RADIUS WHILE DRIVING CREATING A POTENTIALLY FATAL SITUATION FOR ME AND MY PASSENGERS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. AT 49,000 IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS BEYOND THE 3/36 WARRANTY AND I HAD TO PAY THE ENTIRE $1400 FOR A NEW RACK AND PUMP. I AM IN THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY AND HAVE REGULAR CONTACT WITH PEOPLE AND THEIR AUTOMOBILES. OTHER OWNERS OF THE EAGLE VISION TSI AND ESI FROM 94 THRU 97 TELL OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR STEERING. I FIND THIS BEYOND COINCIDENTAL AND FEEL THIS SHOULD BE AN OPEN RECALL TO REPAIR A POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS PRODUCT FLAW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. DENNIS OLSON. *AK
