1994 Eagle Vision Transmission Problems

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

Incident

Jan 1, 1998

WHILE TRAVELING AT 70MPH WITH 2 PASSENGERS IN CAR ON A RAINING EVENING, THE TRANSMISSION HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT LOCKED IT INTO "LIMP MODE". THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED FROM OVERDRIVE TO 2ND GEAR AT 70 MPH ON A WET HIGHWAY. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT RESULTED IN THIS CASE. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND TOLD US THEY WILL DO NOTHING BECAUSE IT WAS PAST THEIR WARRANTY. WE HAD A SECOND TRANSMISSION INSTALLED IN THE CAR, IT FAILED AFTER 15300 MILES. THIS FAILURE ALSO OCCURED ON THE HIGHWAY, LUCKILY AT A MUCH LOWER RATE OF SPEED WHILE ON THE ON RAMP. WE HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSION FAIL ON THEM ON THE SAME PLATFORM OF CAR AND ALSO, YOUR (NHTSA) DATABASE SHOWS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS/FAILURES WITH THE SAME EXACT PLATFORM TRANSMISSION AT MUCH LOWER MILEAGES. JUST FOR A NOTE, THERE ARE SEVERAL MAJOR SYSTEM PROBLEMS AS POINTED OUT BY YOUR DATABASE AND OTHER SOURCES. THESE INCLUDE AIR CONDITIONIN SYSTEM, FUEL RAIL SYSTEM, STRUT SYSTEM, TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, CONTROLL ARM SYSTEM AND AIRBAG SYSTEM. IT IS PAINFULLY OBVIOUS THAT THE MANUFACTURER, CHRYSLER, RELEASED A DANGEROUSLY UNSAFE AND SUBSTANDARD PRODUCT TO THE PUBLIC AND SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE. DO LIVES REALLY HAVE TO BE LOST IN ORDER FOR A COMPLAINT TO BE CONSIDERED VALID? I WOULD LIKE A COPY OF THIS REPORT IF THAT IS AT ALL POSSIBLE, IT MAY BE INCLUDED IN LEGAL ACTIONS. THANK YOU. SINCERELY, SAM HISS. *AK
