1993 Eagle Vision Body & structure Problems

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.

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

SUPPORT BRACKET CAME LOOSE FOR A SECOND TIME. THIS BRACKET COULD EASILY PUNCTURE MY FUEL TANK. I REPORTED THIS TO CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THAT PARTS BREAK ON OLDER CARS AND I SHOULD HAVE PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I THINK THIS IS A DEFECT IN DESIGN THAT COULD CAUSE ME PROBLEMS LATER EVEN IF I GET IF FIXED AGAIN.

I RECEIVED RECALL 99V215000 NOTICE IN FEB 2000 FOR ENGINE CRADLE FAILURE.. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I WAS ON A WAITING LIST TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AT THAT TIME THEY NEEDED A SPECIAL TOOL TO FIX THE DEFECT. AFTER CHECKING MANY TIMES THE TOOL IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE DEFECT. I HAVE CALLED THE DAIMLER/CHRYLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TELEPHONE LINE NUMEROUS TIMES AND ALWAYS RECEIVE A BUSY SIGNAL. I TRIED CALLING YOUR HOTLINE BUT NO REPRESENTATIVES ARE EVER AVAILABLE. IN LOOKING UP THE RECALL ON YOUR WEBSITE I NOTICED A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE IN THAT THE O-RINGS LEAK GAS AND CAN CAUSE AN ENGINE FIRE. WE RECEIVED NO NOTICE OF THIS RECALL. AFTER SIX MONTHS OF TRYING TO CONTACT THE PROPER PERSON TO HANDLE THIS PROBLEM I AM VERY FRUSTRATED. PLEASE INFORM ME OF MY OPTIONS. *AK
