MY FATHER IN LAWS 1994 EAGLE VISION HAD COMPLETE STEERING FAILURE ONLY MOMENTS AFTER MY 16 YEAR OLD SON ARRIVED HOME. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS HURT. I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR EAGLE AND INTREPID MODELS. IT HAPPENED ONLY YESTERDAY AND I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO REPAIR THE CAR BUT THE PROBLEM IS IN THE STEERING ASSEMBLY. THE TIE ROD ENDS HAVE SHEARED OFF AND COMPLETELY DISABLED THE STEERING. HAD THIS HAPPENED A FEW MINUTES SOONER MY SON WOULD HAVE BEEN ON ONE OF THE MOST CONGESTED ROADS IN OUR AREA AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. *NM

THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL COULD NOT BE COMPLETED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN LOWERED. THE CONSUMERS SON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BALL JOINT DETACHED AT 20 MPH. *SC *JB
