1990 Eagle Talon Transmission Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the transmission system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Transmission reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I HAD ALREADY DONE THE TRANSFER CASE RECALL 3 YEARS PRIOR. DEALERSHIP DID NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS, ONLY THE FLUID IN THE TRANSFER CASE. I WAS ON A BUSY FREEWAY GOING 65MPH IN THE SLOW LANE WHEN ALL OF MY TIRES LOCKED UP WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. I BARELY MANAGED TO GET THE CAR OFF THE FREEWAY. POLICE OFFICER SAID IF I WAS IN A DIFFERENT LANE I MAY HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENT AND DIED. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AS I TRIED TO PUSH IT FURTHER AWAY FROM THE ROAD.THE TRANSFER CASE FAILED AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND BOTH REAR AXELS BROKE. THE DEALER ONLY COVERED THE TRANSFER CASE AND YOKE FOR REPAIRS, SAID THEY WOULDN'T COVER THE REAR AXELS AND DIFFERENTIAL. DEALER SAID I WAS DRIVING W/ A BAD REAR DIFF AND AXELS AND JUST DIDN'T NOTICE. SAID THEY MUST HAVE BROKEN PREVIOUS TO THE ACCIDENT. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T COVER REAR AXELS AND DIFFERENTIAL SINCE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE REAR DIFF AND AXELS BREAKING WASN'T RELATED. DEALER SAID COMPLETED CAR, BUT REAR TIRES LOCK WHEN TURNING. I AM VERY AFRAID OTHER RECALLS THAT WERE DONE SIMILAR TO MINE MAY ALSO FAIL. I AM AFRAID OTHERS MAY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN DIE AS A RESULT OF THE TRANSFER CASE FAILING AND LOCKING. REAR TIRES DID NOT LOCK PRIOR TO TRANSFER CASE FAILING. DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR AXELS OR DIFFERENTIAL BEFORE THE TRANSFER CASE FAILED.
