1995 Eagle Vision Complaint Log

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CONNECTING ARM DISCONNECTED WHILE DRIVING. WIPER FAILURE RESULTED. *TR

IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, MY DRIVERS SEAT BACK FELL BACK. I HAD TO CLUTCH THE STEERING WHEEL TO STAY UPRIGHT AND TRAVELED TO ANOTHER LANE BUT LUCKILY DID NOT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE FOUND REFERENCE ON THE INTERNET TO A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM ON OTHER 1995 EAGLE VISIONS, BUT OUR DEALER STATES THAT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED ON THIS RECALL. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE SHIFTER ARM WAS DIFFICULT TO SHIFT FROM THE PARK POSITION TO DRIVE OR REVERSE WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS ADDED EVERY WEEK OR TWO, WHICH SEEMED TO MAKE SHIFTING EASIER. THE AIR CONDITIONER FAILED AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DETERMINED THE COIL WAS FLAT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED.

CONSUMER RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 99V215000; DAIMLER CHRYSLER ISSUED AN ENGINE CRADLE RECALL. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN BUT HAD THE CONTROL ARM BRACKET COME OFF THE ENGINE CRADLE.*AK

TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM FOURTH GEAR TO SECOND ON ITS ON. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC INSISTED THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. CONSUMER INFORMED THE DEALER THAT PROBLEM OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE AND HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *AK VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED ON ITS OWN FROM 4TH GEAR TO 2ND GEAR WHILE IN MOTION. *TC

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

WHILE DRIVING RACK AND PINION FAILED. THIS CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO LOSE POWER STEERING TEMPORALLY. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

WHILE DRIVING GAS FUME ODOR WAS COMING FROM THE VENTS. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT RECALL 96V158002 FOR REPLACEMENT OF FUEL TANK AS ISSUED. MECHANIC REPLACED IT ON THIS VEHICLE. BUT, CONSUMER INFORMED THE MECHANIC THAT PROBLEM RECURRED, AND HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *AK

I PURCHASED MY 1995 EAGLE VISION FROM NORTHTOWNE IN AMHERST, NY, IN 2001. EIGHT MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT, THE TRANSMISSION WENT, I HAD ANOTHER INSTALLED. I LATER LEARNED THAT EAGLES WERE KNOWN FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE-MY TRANSMISSION WENT AGAIN ON 2/13/04 COSTING ME $810, I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A CLAIM AGAINST THE COMPANY AS I FEEL THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND FEAR I WILL BE PUTTING IN ANOTHER TRANSMISSION WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR AS I HAVE BEEN DOING. *JB

HEAD ON, BROAD SIDE COLLISION. FRONT DRIVERS TIRE CAME THROUGH THE FLOOR BOARD TRAPPING AND CRUSHING BOTH LEGS FROM FEET TO FEMUR. HOOD CAME THRU WINDSHIELD, DRIVERS AIRBAG DEPLOYED LATE, CAUSING DRIVER TO HIT WINDSHIELD, HOOD, PILLAR AND WINDOW.*AK

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH ON HIGHWAY, WENT TO SHIFT FROM THIRD GEAR TO SECOND GEAR, AND IT TOOK MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME FOR SHIFTING. TDEALERSHIP AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK

WHEN STARTING UP VEHICLE THERE'S A BAD KNOCKING NOISE, CONSUMER STATES IT'S COMING FROM THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER TIRES (NO TYPE OF TIRE GIVEN), CONSUMER PURCHASED TIRES BRAND NEW AND WITHIN A YEAR THE OUTSIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WAS BALD. *SLC

ENGINE: NEEDED TO REPLACE 12 ENGINE VALVE LIFTERS. BRAKES, ENGINE LIFTERS AND WATER PUMP NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY: 3 YR/36000 MI WARRANTY EXPIRED.

THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHING BRACKET FAILED PRIOR TO RECALL NOTICE 99V-215 RESULTING IN VEHICLE LOOSING ACCELERATION PRESSURE AND EVENTUALLY IN TRANSMISSION FAILURE, CONSUMER REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT. NLM

CONSUMER HAS DISC BRAKES ON ALL FOUR WHEELS. CONSUMER WENT FOR AN INSPECTION, AND ROTORS WERE WARPED AND CORRODED. ROTORS WERE REPLACED BY OWNER, BUT HE FEELS THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. *AK *ML

RECALL 99V215000, ON MARCH 1, 2000 DEALER INSTALLED A BRACKET FOR ENGINE CRADLE RECALL. DEALER IS RICHARDSON EAGLE, 1376 EAST F STREET, OAKDALE, CA 209-847-3025. THREE WEEKS LATER, A LOUD HORRIBLE NOISE CAME FROM FRONT END. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND HE RETORQUED THE BRACKET. PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING, AND DEALER KEEPS RETORQUING THE BRACKET. SEEMS THAT THE SOLUTION DIDNT REMEDY THE RECALL. *AK

LOUD POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING/BRAKING, COMES FROM AREA OF LEFT STRUT MOUNT*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

TRANSMISSION GEAR DOESN'T ENGAGE INTERMITTENTLY AND TRANSMISSION SLIPS. *AK *ML

THE HOOD SUPPORTS THAT HOLD HOOD IN 'OPEN' POSITION WILL NO LONGER SUPPORT THE WIGHTS OF THE HOOD . HOOD WILL SLOWLY START DESCENDING (AT FIRST) AND THEN FOR THE LAST 1/2 OF DESCENT, PICKS UP MOMENTUM AND SLAMS SHUT. VERY DANGEROUS TO ANYONE WHOSE HEAD/BODY IS IN THE WAY.

THE FAILURE IS 2 BUSHINGS ATTACHING THE RACK TO THE STEERING GEAR HAVE BROKEN AND FALLEN OUT, LEAVING METAL BOLTS TO HIT METAL WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY BREAK THE BOLTS, CAUSING THE CAR TO BE UNSTEERABLE. DEALER SAYS THE WHOLE RACK WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT GET THE BUSHINGS SEPARATE. *AK

TIRE WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. *AK

AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSOR COIL STOPPED WORKING AT 72600 MILES. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND DEALER REPLACED IT. ALSO, WHEN USING DEFROSTER THE RUGS GET WET. *AK

THE STEERING ALL BUT FAILED AT LOW SPEEDS AND WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT HIGH SPEEDS (55 MPH & HIGHER). I HAD DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE STEERING OF THE CAR. CAR WOULD ALSO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AT TIMES. COST OF REPAIR WAS $754.88. *AK

I NOTICED FLUID LEAKING FROM STEERING PUMP AREA. LOW MILEAGE CAR (WELL TAKEN CARE OF. WHEN TURNING, I DO NOT CRANK WHEEL ALL THE WAY UNTIL IT STOPS TO KEEP PRESSURE OFF SEALS IN PUMP). I NOTICED FLUID A FEW MONTHS AGO BUT IGNORED IT (NOT MUCH LEAKAGE). WHEN CHRYLSER OVEHAULED MY TRANSMISSION 2 WEEKS AGO, EVENTHOUGH I FORGOT TO MENTION TO THEM, THEY DID NOT SEE NOR NOTIFY ME OF IT. ANOTHER TACTIC OF THE DEALER WAITING FOR IT TO BECOME MORE SERIOUS (THUS MORE COSTLY) TO REPAIR. THERE'S NO WAY THEY COULD HAVE MISSED IT!! *AK

BUSHINGS FOR RACK/PINION WERE TOTALLY WORN (DESTROYED). $140 REPAIR DONE AT LOCAL SHOP. CHRYSLER TECHNICIAN SAID "WE'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THESE BUSHINGS". SOME UNEVEN WEAR ON TIRE NOTED FROM THIS DEFECTIVE PART.

THE TRANSMISSION COULDN'T NOT BE REBUILT. IT HAD A CRACK IN THE HOUSING. IT COST ME $2275.00 TO HAVE REPLACED. IT HAS BEEN FAILING FOR ABOUT A YEAR. IT WOULD AT TIMES VIOLENTLY JERK THE PASSENGERS FORWARD WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT UPWARDS AND WAS UNDEPENDABLE IN CASE FAST ACCELLERATION WAS NEEDED. IT FINALLY QUIT SHIFTING UP TO 4TH GEAR. THE FUSES TEND TO OVERHEAT FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON WHICH HAS CAUSED THE WINDOWS NOT TO WORK AND SOME OF THE THE INTERIOR INSTRUMENT LIGHTS NOT TO WORK. THE BRAKES KEEP HAVING PROBLEMS. I CAN'T GET THEM FIXED TO MY SATISFACTION. I DIDN'T LIST THEM AS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY TRIPS TO GET THE BRAKES FIXED TO LIST IN THE FORM.

AT 46,500 MILES, TIE ROD BUSHINS WERE ALMOST COMPLETELY 'DISINTEGRATED'. I HAD POPPING NOISES BRING IT TO MY ATTENTION LOCAL MIDAS SHOP REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. TODAY I SAW A NEWS RELEASE ON THE AUTO.COM WEB PAGE SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO POST MY PROBLEM. I HAVE MY RECEIPT FROM THE REPAIR AND WILL FOLLOW UP WITH CHRYSLER FOR REIMBURSEMENT ONCE CHRYSLER IS NOTIFIED BY NHTSA ON THE MANDATORY RECALL INFORMATION. *AK

STRUT PROBLEM: LOCAL MIDAS SHOP INSPECTED AND SUGGESTED ON REPLACEMENT OF INTERNAL PARTS FOR POSSIBLE REMEDY. CRUISE CONTROL: OVERSHOOTS/UNDERSHOOTS SET SPEED FOR FIRST 5 SECONDS AND ALSO WILL NOT HOLD SET SPEED ON UPHILL GRADE.

BESIDES THE TRANSMISSION FAILING, THE CRANKCASE STARTED TO LEAK AND THE AIR-FLOW ACTAUTOR FAILED. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A 30 DAY PERIOD. CHRYSLER WAS NO HELP AT ALL ON THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, AND WAS DOWNRIGHT RUDE. AFTER OWNING 4 CHRYSLER VEHICLES IN MY LIFE, I'LL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER PRODUCT FROM THEM AGAIN. MY TRANSMISSION WAS SERVICED BY DEALERS AND MY CAR IS KEPT IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

WHEN CONSUMER PUTS CAR INTO GEAR IT JUMPS. *AK

RECALL WORK COMPLETED ON FUEL RAIL HOWEVER FUMES PRESENT AFTER REPAIR.

NO SUMMARY

FUEL INJECTION DELIVERY SYSTEM IS LEAKING FUEL FROM SOME OF THE SEALING "O"-RINGS, AND THE HAIR LINE IN THE THERMOSTAT FUEL INJECTION RAIL. *AK

THE BUSHINGS AND TIE RODS BEGAN TO FAIL AT 36000 MILES. THE DEALER DID NOT FIND A PROBLEM. NOW AT 46000 MILES THIS IS CONSIDERED A "WEAR ITEM" NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS TOO EARLY FOR THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. THERE ARE FEW WARNING SIGNS. THE END RESULT IS A LOSS OF STEERING. *AK

TOLD SERVICE DEPT. THEY SHOULD REPAIR AS SOMEONE COULD BE HURT BY HOOD FALLING ON THEM.*AK

NO SUMMARY

DEALER WOULD NOT FIX LURCHING PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY. NOW HAVE SPENT OVER $3,300 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH CHRYSLER TRANSMISSIONS

WHILE TRAVELING FROM MINNESOTA TO TEXAS CONSUMER LEARNED THAT THE TRUNK CARGO LIGHT REMAINED ON AND HAD BURNED SEVERAL HOLES IN A COAT/ BURNED THROUGH A GARMENT AND A SUIT. LIGHT DID NOT HAVE A SHIELD AND IT STAYED ON WHILE TRUNK WAS CLOSED. DELAER WAS NOT CONTACTED AT THIS TIME.*AK

TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY REBUILT UNDER EXT. WARRANTY COVERAGE. WITHIN TWO DAYS, VEHICLE BEGAN LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM NEAR RADIATOR. RETURNED TO REPAIRING DEALER SERVICE [KENNEDY CHRYSLER - NOT O'BRIEN CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP] AND WAS INFORMED THAT TRANSMISSION COOLING SYSTEM LINES WERE CRACKED AND LEAKING AND MUST BE REPLACED. THIS SERVICE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER EXT. WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH LEAK APPARENTLY WAS SPAWNED BY TRANSMISSION REPAIR [TRANSMISSION WAS REMOVED FROM VEHICLE TO REPAIR]. DEALER SERVICE INFORMED ME THAT THEY SEE MANY EAGLE VISIONS WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND IT SHOULD PROBABLY BE REPORTED FOR A RECALL.

WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 35-45 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLS, TAKES OFF WITH A VERY BAD JERK. FOR A SECOND IT STALLS, AND FOR A SECOND IT ACCELERATES TO FULL THROTTLE. VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *AK

TRANSMISSION DOESN'T LOCK VEHICLE WHEN PARK IS ENGAGED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO ROLL.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY WHILE IN PARK POSITION AND THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THEN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. DEALER IS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. *AK

RECALL ON FUEL INJECTOR O-RINGS, HOWEVER VEHICLE DENIED DUE TO VIN#.
