1993 Eagle Vision Problems

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.

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.

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//????????????????

CAR IS OVERHEATING, AND DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. ALREADY TAKEN IT BACK 4 TIMES FOR SAMETHING.*AK

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

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

SPOT WHERE AUTOMATIC BUTTON IS LOCATED TO RAISE AND CLOSE REAR WINDOW IS DANGEROUS.

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
