1995 Eagle Talon Tires & wheels Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the tire or wheel system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Tires & wheels 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.

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
