Component: SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHING BRACKETS CAN CRACK DUE TO FATIGUE AND SEPARATE FROM THE ENGINE CRADLE.
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURS, THE TRANSMISSION HALF-SHAFT COULD PULL OUT OF THE TRANSAXLE AND RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REINFORCE THE ENGINE CRADLE AT THE POINT WHERE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHES TO IT.
Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES BUILT WITH 3.5L ENGINES. THE FUEL INJECTION DELIVERY SYSTEM CAN LEAK FUEL FROM SOME OF THE SEALING O-RINGS OR FROM HAIR LINE CRACKS IN THE THERMOSET FUEL INJECTION RAIL.
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL RAIL O-RINGS AND REINFORCE THE OUTLET (PASSENGER) SIDE FUEL RAIL. VEHICLES SHOWING FUEL LEAKAGE ON THE OUTLET FUEL RAIL MUST HAVE THE OUTLET RAIL REPLACED WHICH INCLUDES CHANGING THE UPPER AND LOWER INJECTOR O-RINGS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS OR FROM A CRACKED FUEL LINE, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THE ENGINE CUTS OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS (60 MPH). THE VEHICLE LURCHES AS A RESULT. LUCKILY, THE ENGINE STARTS UP AGAIN WITHOUT NEEDING TO CRANK AND THE VEHICLE PROCEEDS. ON ONE OCCASION, WHEN DRIVING AT SLOWER SPEED (25 MPH), THE VEHICLE STALLED. I LOST THE POWER STEERING, AND HAD TO STOP AND RESTART THE IGNITION USING THE KEY. *JB
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
CAMPAIGNS 98V184000 AND 98V130000 CONCERN FUEL LEAKAGE ON THE 1993 EAGLE VISION. ON MAY 13, 1999 THE O RINGS WERE REPLACED ON MY EAGLE BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. ON MARCH 31, 2000, AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR I HAD TO TAKE MY CARE IN TO A GARAGE DUE TO THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND A GAS LEAK. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL RAIL GASKET WHICH COST A TOTAL OF $214.02. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE LEAKAGE OF THE O RINGS. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL RAIL GASKET SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER CAMPAIGN NO. 98V130000. I AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE $214.02. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING ALSE I SHOULD DO TO MAKE THE CAR SAFER SUCH AS HAVING THE ENGINE FUEL RAIL REPLACED, WHICH IT APPEARS WASN'T DONE WHEN THE O RINGS WERE REPLACED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER.

Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES BUILT WITH 3.3L ENGINES. THE 'O-RINGS' USED TO SEAL THE INTERFACE OF THE FUEL INJECTOR RAIL SUPPLY, RETURN AND CROSS OVER TUBES ARE NOT AS ROBUST AS THOSE USED IN LATER MODEL YEARS. DETERIORATION OF THE 'O-RINGS' CAN CAUSE FUEL LEAKAGE.
Consequence: IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ENGINE FUEL RAIL.
Component: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT

Consequence: EITHER CIRCUMSTANCE MAY RESULT IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING AWAY WITHOUT WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW LOAD-LIMITING PUSH ROD INTO THE FLOOR SHIFTER LEVER OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 14, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
Component: SUSPENSION:FRONT
THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER CONTROL ARM TENSION STRUT WASHERS CAN CRACK AND FALL OFF DUE TO HYDROGEN EMBRITTLEMENT.
Consequence: LOSS OF A WASHER WILL CAUSE A CLUNKING SOUND, HEARDDURING BRAKING. IF LEFT UNATTENDED, THE LOSS OF THE WASHER WILL EVENTUALLYRESULT IN TENSION STRUT ATTACHMENT FAILURE THAT CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERINGCONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: REPLACE THE FRONT AND REAR STRUT BAR WASHERS AND NUTS.
THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT BACK WOULDN'T STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. IT KEPT FALLING BACK DOWN. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *PH *TC
THE CONSUMER HAD AN ON GOING CONCERN THAT EVERY YEAR WHEN ROTATING THE FRONT TIRES, A BROKEN STUD HAS TO BE REPLACED. DEALER WAS CONTACTED. *JB ...NOT JUST WHEN ROTATIN GTIRES. NEARLY EVERY TIME THAT FRON TTIRES ARE REMOVED, A STUD BREAKS OFF. I M SURE TO INFORM THE SERVIC EPROVIDER NOT TO USE AN AIR WRENCH AND TO HAND TORQUE THE LUG NUTS. *AK
AMENDMENT TO NHTSA ODI COMPLAINT NUMBER 10066149. FUEL RAIL/INJECTION SYSTEM FUEL LINE O-RING LEAK. REFERENCE NHTSA 98V184000/CHRYSLER RECALL 790. 1) 1 INCIDENT OF RECALL NOTICE AND ATTEMPTED RECALL SERVICE. AFTER RECALL SERVICE PERFORMED ON MARCH 18 1999 THERE WERE 2 INCIDENTS OF FUEL RAIL/O-RING LEAK CONFIRMED AS FOLLOWS: 2) RIGHT (PASSENGER) SIDE FUEL RAIL CRACKED AND LEAKED (OCTOBER 17 2002) 3) LEFT (DRIVER) SIDE FUEL INLET LINE O-RING FAILED AND LEAKED (APRIL 13 2004). CUSTOMER WAS MADE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS OF 3RD INCIDENT FOR $583.00 TO REPLACE ENTIRE FUEL RAIL ASSEMBLY CHRYSLER PART NUMBER 5015231AA. INSPECTION OF PARTS RETURNED TO CUSTOMER SHOW THAT FUEL INLET O-RING IS DEFECTIVE (HARDENED AND SHRUNKEN) AND IS BLACK IN COLOR (RECALL REPLACEMENT O-RING IS SUPPOSED TO BE BLUE IN COLOR). IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT 2ND INCIDENT OF FUEL LEAK WAS DUE TO RECALL SERVICE REPAIR OF MARCH 18 1999 NOT PROPERLY PERFORMED AS FUEL INLET O-RING WAS NEVER REPLACED (VILLAGE MOTORS CHELSEA MI-MECHANIC MISTAKE). IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT RECALL SERVICE PROCEDURE TO "REINFORCE RIGHT (PASSENGER) SIDE FUEL RAIL DID NOT PREVENT FUEL LEAK INCIDENT OF OCTOBER 17 2002. CUSTOMER IS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR $583.00 FROM CHRYSLER DUE TO IMPROPER RECALL SERVICE OF DEFECTIVE O-RING. NHTSA ASSISTANCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

NHTSA 98V184000/CHRYSLER RECALL 790 IS FOR SUPPOSEDLY FIXING RIGHT (PASSENGER) SIDE INJECTION RAIL BUT FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND ADDRESS FIXING LEFT (DRIVER) SIDE FUEL INJECTION RAIL WHICH HAS SAME PROBLEM. NOTE: ROOT CAUSE OF FUEL LEAK IS THAT THE FUEL INJECTION RAIL IS MADE OF A PLASTIC WHICH EVENTUALLY SHRINKS OR CRACKS.
AIR BAG FAILURE IN 1993 EAGLE VISION TSI. AFTER FULL FRONTAL IMPACT WITH GUARDRAIL THAT PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AIRBAGS, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ON BUT AIRBAGS HAD FAILED TO DEPLOY. OCCUPANT WAS BRUISED BY SEATBELT BUT OTHERWISE UNINJURED. *AK
SEAT BELT WILL NOT REWIND BELT FULLY AND GETS TRAPED IN THE DOOR UPON CLOSING CASSING DAMAGE TO THE BELT OVER APERIOD OF TIME. CARE MUST BE TAKEN BY THE DRIVE TO SEE THAT THE BELT IS INSIDE THE CAR TO AVOID FURTHER DAMAGE
THE BODY AND FRAME PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN IT SNOWS, SNOW IS FOUND INSIDE MY VEHICLE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. WHAT CAN I DO BESIDES GOING TO A BODY AND FRAME SHOP? THE SECOND PROBLEM IS THAT THE CLEAR COAT ON THE VEHICLE IS COMING OFF. I HAVE GONE TO 3 PAINT SHOPS. ALL THREE HAVE TOLD ME IT IS CAUSED BY A DEFECT IN THE CLEAR COAT AND HAVE TOLD ME I SHOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURE. WHO DO I CONTACT SINCE EAGLE WAS BOUGHT OUT IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM.
RECALL NHTSA# 98V184000. FUEL INJECTION DELIVERY SYSTEM CAN LEAK FUEL FROM SOME OF THE SEALING O-RINGS OR FROM HAIR LINE CRACKS IN THE THERMOSTAT FUEL INJECTION RAIL. THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT IN GOOD CONDITION TO DRIVE. THE CONSUMER WANTS TO GET THIS SAFETY PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *CB *JB
FOR MANY YEARS I HAVE BEEN BAFFELD WITH A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. I HAVE REPLACED THE ENTIRE FRONT. THESE ARE THE PARTS I HAVE REPLACED BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS, BOTH INER AND OUTER TIERODS, BOTH UPPER STRUT MOUNTS/STRUTS, STABILIZER BAR LINKS, BOTH DRIVESHAFTS, BOTH FONT WHEEL BEARINGS. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION AS A LAST RESORT LOOKED AT THE RACK AND PINION UNIT AND DISCOVERED THAT THE CROSSMEMBER THAT THE RACK AND PINION UNIT IS MOUNTED TO IS MOVING WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT. IT'S MY GREATAST FEAR THAT THE CROSSMEMBER THAT THE RACK AND PINION IS MOUNTED TO WILL BREAK AWAY FROM THE BODY OF THE CAR, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF STEERING CAUSING A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT OR WORSE A LOSS OF LIFE. THE CROSSMEMBER IS THE FOUNDATION POINT OR PLATFORM WHERE THE RACK AND PINION IS MOUNTED TO. THIS CROSSMEMBER SHOULD BE A RELIABLE AND SAFE MOUNTING POINT FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. *AK
ONCE IN A WHILE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS MOIST AND RAINING, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (ALL GAUGES: TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, FUEL, TEMPERATURE) DROP TO ZERO, FLIP TO THE MAXIMUM AND THEN BACK TO ZERO. THE "AIR BAG" LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. AFTER A MINUTE, THE INSTRUMENTS WORK FINE. THE RPOBLEM REPEATS FOR THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF THE DRIVE. THERE IS NO CHANGE IN THE DRIVING, STEERING, ENGINE RPM ETC. ONLY THE INSTRUMENTS SEEM TO GET "RESET" (FLIP TO ZERO, MAXIMUM AND BACK TO ZERO). AND THE "AIR BAG" LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. *NLM
I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 1998 AND HAVE HAD TO FIX IT MYSELF MANY TIMES. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY SOMEONE TO FIX IT. BUT IF THERE HAS EVER BEEN A LEMON IT IS THIS CAR. I HAVE TO SAY THE MOTOR IS A GOOD ONE. BUT EVERY THING SURROUNDING IT IS JUNK. AT THIS TIME IT IS IN MY MOMS GARAGE AND I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT AND CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT. RIGHT NOW IT NEEDS: 1.) TIMING BELT 2.) WIRING PROBLEM UNDER DASH-DOME LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME, A/C CONTROLS WON'T WORK PROPERLY. 3.) INNER TIE RODS NEED REPLACED AGAIN-(4TH TIME) 4.) SPARK PLUG WIRES GO BAD IN ABOUT 12 MONTHS.(THE GOOD ONES). 5.) TIRES ARE GOING BAD EVERY 6 MONTHS BECAUSE OF TIERODS. 6,) PARKING BRAKE CABLE BROKE. 7.) CATALYTIC CONVERTER. 8.) FUEL RAIL O-RINGS NEED REPLACED. WHEN IT WAS RUNNING IT WAS CONSTANTLY DYING ON ME WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE IDLING, AND FINALLY THE OTHER DAY (AFTER REPLACEING THE COIL PACK AND AN IGNITION RELAY) IT DIED AND WOULN'T RESTART AT ALL.........................WHAT CAN OR WILL YOU DO ABOUT THIS LEMON THAT I HAVE HAD TO CONSTANTLY FIX FOR THE WHOLE 4 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE CAR//????????????????
