1995 Eagle Vision Problems

Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints 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.

What this page shows

Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 1995 Eagle Vision, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.

Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

THE TRANSMISSION COULDN'T NOT BE REBUILT. IT HAD A CRACK IN THE HOUSING. IT COST ME $2275.00 TO HAVE REPLACED. IT HAS BEEN FAILING FOR ABOUT A YEAR. IT WOULD AT TIMES VIOLENTLY JERK THE PASSENGERS FORWARD WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT UPWARDS AND WAS UNDEPENDABLE IN CASE FAST ACCELLERATION WAS NEEDED. IT FINALLY QUIT SHIFTING UP TO 4TH GEAR. THE FUSES TEND TO OVERHEAT FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON WHICH HAS CAUSED THE WINDOWS NOT TO WORK AND SOME OF THE THE INTERIOR INSTRUMENT LIGHTS NOT TO WORK. THE BRAKES KEEP HAVING PROBLEMS. I CAN'T GET THEM FIXED TO MY SATISFACTION. I DIDN'T LIST THEM AS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY TRIPS TO GET THE BRAKES FIXED TO LIST IN THE FORM.
