1991 Eagle Talon Powertrain & Transmission Problems

TOOK MY 1991 EAGLE TALON TSI TO KLABEN CHRYSLER TO BE SERVICED BY THEM PER THE RECALL ON THE CAR. THEY CALLED AND SAID EVERYTHING CHECKED OK. BUT THE TRANSMISSION IS BURNED UP. THAT WEEK A FELLOW TECHNICIAN AND I PULLED THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE AS AN ASSEMBLY AND FOUND THE INSIDES OF THE TRANSFER CASE WERE POWDER AND BLOWN APART INSIDE. THE TRANSFER CASE WAS NOT LEAKING DUE TO NO OIL AT ALL IN THE TRANSFER CASE. I HAVE THE INVOICE ( #CHBS538463) THAT STATES EVERYTHING OK BUT A NOTE THAT SAYS THE TRANSMISSION IS BURNED UP. NINE MILES FROM THE TIME I PICKED UP THE CAR THE TRANSFER CASE LOCKED UP AND THE CAR WAS NOT MOVABLE. WE HAD TO JACK UP THE VEHICLE TO BRING IT INSIDE THE SHOP TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A POTENTIAL CRASH TO HAPPEN AND THE JUST PUSHED IT OUT THE DOOR LIKE EVERYTHING IS PERFECTLY FINE. *JB

NHTSA RECALL 98V069002 CONCERNING TRANSFER CASE FAILURE.. LOCK UP OF THE TRANSFER CASE CAN OCCUR DUE TO INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION. *AK

CONTACED DEALERSHIP, WERE VERY DIFFICULT SAID NOT TRANSFER CASE SAID IT WAS CLUTCH, WAS REQUIRED TO PAY FOR CLUTCH, THEN CAR STILL DID NOT WORK, THEY THEN PUT ON NEW TRANSFER CASE EVEN THOUGH STATING IT WAS NOT THE CAUSE AND STILL THERE IS REAR WHEELS MAKING NOISE AS IF THERE IS SOMETHING INTHEM. RECALL SHOULD COVER CLUTCH TOO SINCE IT WAS TRF CASE CAUSING ALL THE DAMAGE.*AK

WHEELS LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT ROLL OR MOVE PUT IN GEAR AND ATTEMPTED TO MOVE CAR REVVED UP BUT WOULD NOT BUDGE. DISCONNECTED REAR DRIVELINE AND DROVE HOME AS "FRONT WHEEL DRIVE" VEHICLE.TOOK TO CHRYSLER AND HAVEBEEN FIGHTING TO GET RESOLVED.SAYS CLUTCH IS BLOWN OUT AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TRANSFER CASE.*AK

HARD TIME SHIFFTING TO 1ST GEAR 2ND GEAR AND REVERSE

RECALL WORK PERFORMED ON THE TRANSFER CASE, HOWEVER UNIT CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION WITH ADDITIONAL FAILURE OF THE GAS GAUGE DUE TO REPAIR. (98V0690002).

CONSUMER LEARNED OF A TRANSFER CASE RECALL; VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER. DEALER ONLY RESEALED THE CASE, AND TOLD CONSUMER THAT WAS ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO. CONSUMER FELT THIS WAS NOT WHAT RECALL PROPER CORRECTION SHOULD BE. SEEKING NHTSA FOR HELP IN THIS MATTER. ALSO CONSUMER COMPLAINED THAT VEHICLE HUMMED FROM FROM THE TRANSFER CASE WHILE DRIVING AT 80-90 MPH. *AK

MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION GRINDS TERRIBLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD, OR 4 TO 3RD. THE CLUTCH IS FULLY PRESSED, YET STILL A BAD GRIND. IT IS HARD TO SHIFT INTO REVERS ALSO.

BAY RIDGE CHRYSLER DID THE TRANSFER RECALL REPAIR WORK; HOWEVER, I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ALL WORK AND WERE DONE.

CAR WAS BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP FOR A TRANSFERCASE RECALL, DEALER STATED RECALL WAS PERFORMED AND A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER THE TRANSFERCASE FAILED DUE TO LACK OF LUBRICATION (RECALL). MANAGER OF A SEPERATE DEALERSHIP RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM . CHRYSLER/MAJOR DODGE REFUSE TO TAKE ACTION OR RESPONSIBILITY.

REAR SEAL LEAKS, CAUSING THE CENTER TO SHIFT FROM THE INSIDE OF THE TRANSFER CASE DUE TO THE LEAKAGE. *AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF THE TRANSFER CASE WHICH CAUSED THE WHEELS TO LOCK UP PRIOR TO RECALL NOTICE HOWEVER DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPAIR VEHICLE AS PER RECALL NOTICE.
