EAGLE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WAS SMOKING. CONSUMER PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE VEHICLE BLEW UP. *TS THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE WARRANTY COMPANY CLAIMED THEY WERE NOT LIABLE. THE CONSUMER DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE HAD FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY STATED THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN DONE ON 8/98 BUT THEY REFUSED TO GIVE THE CONSUMER ANY DOCUMENTATION. *NM

ON AUG.24 2005 PURCHASED AN EAGLE TALON(1998)THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT THE CAR WOULDN'T START. THE SALES REP MESSED WITH SOME WIRES AND IT STARTED. WE GOT IT HOME THE FOLLOWING DAY IT WOULDN'T START. OUR MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE SOME OF THE WIRING. THE NEXT THING THAT WENT WAS THE CLUTCH CABLES. THE SAME DAY THE CABLES WERE REPLACED THE BRAKES STARTED ACTING UP. WE TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND THAT THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. SOMEONE HAD PUT POWER STEERING FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER,WHICH RUINED THE SYSTEM. THE MECHANICS ARE WILLING TO MAKE THE STATEMENT THAT THIS DAMAGE WAS DONE BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT. THE CAR WAS SUPPOSED TO BE INSPECTED THE DAY BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT,THAT CAN'T BE TRUE BECAUSE THE DAMAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN NOTICED. THE ROTORS WERE SO THIN THAT THEY CRACKED,THEY WERE CRACKED WHEN WE BOUGHT IT. *NM

DT: CONSUMER OWNS A 1993 EAGLE VISION. CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL 99V215000 ABOUT A YEAR AGO CONCERNING LOWER CONTROL ARM. HE TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER TO GET REPAIRS DONE . DEALER DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO VEHICLE AND CHARGED HIM $1020 FOR REPAIRS. HE TOOK VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER ON AUGUST 3, 2005 BECAUSE IT STARTED SHAKING AGAIN. THEY DID NOT DO ANY REPAIRS. HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER. *AK *JB

DT: CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT RACK AND PINION STEERING PROBLEM. WHEN TURNING CORNERS HAS TO BE STRONG TO TURN, IT'S LIKE THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY SAY CONSUMER WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. THERE IS A RECALL THAT INCLUDES THE TRANS AXLE, BUT NOT THE RACK AND PINION. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ON MAY 30, 2005.

DT: THE CONSUMER STATES THAT SEAT BELT DOES NOT WORK ON A 1993 EAGLE SUMMIT. THE CABLE JUMPED OFF THE TRACK AND WAS HANGING OUT. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, AND THEY LOCKED THE SEAT BELT IN PLACE. THIS WAS THE DRIVER'S SIDE BELT. CHRYSLER SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP THE CONSUMER AND TOLD HIM TO CALL THE HOTLINE. *AK

RECENTLY HAD AN ISSUE REGARDING SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE HOOD OF CAR. UPON INSPECTION AND REPAIR FROM MY LOCAL SERVICE STATION, IT WAS LEAKAGE OF GAS FROM MY FUEL INJECTORS IN MY 1997 EAGLE VISION. THE "O" RINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE SAME "O" RINGS THAT WERE REPAIRED/REPLACED IN A 1997 RECALL (98V184000) ON MY 1997 EAGLE VISION. *JB

DT: THE CONSUMER STATED THE BOLTS IN RACK AND PINION STEERING HAD TO BE TIGHTENED CONSTANTLY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR TWO YEARS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY STATED IT WAS WEAR AND TEAR. WHEN THE BOLTS BECAME LOOSE THE WHEEL LOCKED. CONSUMER CONTINUED TO TIGHTEN THE BOLTS, BUT IT ONLY LASTED FOR NO MORE THAN A WEEK. *AK

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

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 EAGLE TALON. ON JUNE 14, 2005 CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT WHILE GOING 20-25 MPH. UPON IMPACT, FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, BUT CONTACT SUSTAINED AIRBAG BURNS. HE SUSTAINED INJURIES, STRAIN IN NECK, BURNS ON ARM, AND ON RIGHTS HAND TWO FINGER BECAME NUMB. THE HOSPITAL DID TAKE X-RAYS, AND STATED THAT CONTACT HAD A PINCHED NERVE FROM THE STRAIN IN HIS NECK WHICH CAUSED THE NUMB FINGERS. ALSO ANOTHER SUSTAINED INJURIES. THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE PASSENGER DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY BURNS FROM THE AIRBAG, BUT HAS BEEN OFF FROM WORK SINCE THE ACCIDENT, AND WAS UNDER PHYSICIAN'S CARE. .
