TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 CHRYSLER VISION. IN 2003, CHRYSLER ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THE SEAT ASSEMBLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE INSPECTED THE RECALL. ON OCTOBER 28, 2008, WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT BRACKET FAILED AND CAUSED THE BACKREST TO FALL BACKWARDS. SHE PULLED OVER AND RETURNED THE SEAT TO THE PROPER POSITION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUE TO THE RECALL, BUT RATHER WEAR AND TEAR. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY INVESTIGATED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER'S INVESTIGATION CONFIRMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE; THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 70,165.

I HAD A RECALL PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE LAST YEAR AT MARTIN DODGE IN BOWLING GREEN, KY. AFTER GETTING THE SERVICES RENDERED ON THE VEHICLE I NOTICED SEVERAL PROBLEMS. ONE WAS THAT TURN SIGNALS WERE NO LONGER OPERABLE, AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT PAST SECOND GEAR AND WOULD MISS GEARS REPEATEDLY, ALSO, ABS BRAKE FAILED. IN ADDITION, MY SUSPENSION WAS WORSE AFTER THEY PERFORMED SUSPENSION RECALLS. I HAVE TRIED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP , AND THEY ONLY SUGGESTED THAT I BRING IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AT MY COST, EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEMS EXISTED AFTER GETTING THE RECALLS FIXED. LONG STORY SHORT, I INCURRED COURT COST OF $166.00 BECAUSE OF IMPROPER EQUIPMENT AND THE BUY, HERE, PAY HERE LOT IS REQUESTING $2,280 FOR A CAR THAT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO JUNK OUT BECAUSE OF IT NOT BEING ABLE TO PASS INSPECTION FOR THE ROAD. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO AID IN ME ABSORBING THE COST OF THIS SITUATION.*AK

MY FATHER IN LAWS 1994 EAGLE VISION HAD COMPLETE STEERING FAILURE ONLY MOMENTS AFTER MY 16 YEAR OLD SON ARRIVED HOME. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS HURT. I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR EAGLE AND INTREPID MODELS. IT HAPPENED ONLY YESTERDAY AND I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO REPAIR THE CAR BUT THE PROBLEM IS IN THE STEERING ASSEMBLY. THE TIE ROD ENDS HAVE SHEARED OFF AND COMPLETELY DISABLED THE STEERING. HAD THIS HAPPENED A FEW MINUTES SOONER MY SON WOULD HAVE BEEN ON ONE OF THE MOST CONGESTED ROADS IN OUR AREA AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. *NM

THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WHOLE RACK IS SHIFTING FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND IT HAS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN IT. WHILE DRIVING IT FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO COLLAPSE TO THE GROUND. MY STEERING AND RIDE IS HORRIBLE!!! *JB
