Eagle Talon Engine problems by year

Dt: the contact stated the harmonic balancer in the engine fell apart while driving. There were no warnings prior to the smoke he saw coming from underneath the hood. He drove the vehicle home where he has done the necessary repairs.*Ak

1997 Eagle talon tsi fwd (identical to mitsubishi eclipse gs-t of the same year) has a problem with failing crankshaft bearings, causing the crank to be able to move around. It is physically movable by hand left and right and up and down instead of being stationary. Car is not safe to drive, as this "walking crank" could crack the short block at any time rendering the car immobile. Mitsubishi/chrysler refuses to recognize this as a defect and will not fix it under any circumstances. This is a defect in about half...

I bought falken ziex 502 tires off of ebay. The belt snapped and I have had nothing but vibration since. I would assume that a broken steel belt in a tire is not a good thing, if tire failure was to occur; loss of vehicle control would be inevitable. I am in a car club and I asked about this, a club member informed me that falken ziex 502's are defective; that he onced owned them and had problems out of 2 tires. He mentioned how 502's were pulled from the market and 512's were introduced. I have not found any recalls or company information on this at all. I as well need to replace these faulty tires in weeks to come.*Ak

The 1996 eagle talon tsi had the same defects as the 1995 eagle talon tsi. *Ph the vehicle had multiple failure to include the a/c unit, trans axle, transmission, upper and lower ball joints, engine at 75000 miles. *Nm

I bought the car and drove it less than 20,000 mile then the timing belt broke causing the exhaust valves to bend and mess the head up causing me to replace the engine ant almost $2000.00. I hear that this is an ongoing problem with these cars I read where people are sueing for repair.

We took a car that we recently purchased from a private party to our mechanic for an oil change and found that the head gasket is leaking and it will cost $1000.00 For repair. Also found out this is a problem that the eagle talon had and that there was never a recall on it. We feel that chrysler should do the repair at no cost to us. We would appreciate any help that you could give us. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Ann pirrello. *Jb

The consumer heard a loud noise and found large amounts of nuts and bolts rolling back and forth on both panels in the trunk. Both panels were replaced in the rear seat area. The engine stalled, there was white smoke coming out of the exhaust badly. The chain bolt valve, timing cover, timing belt, timing chain/belt, the balance shaft bolt, and the front and rear struts were replaced. A new oil pan was placed in the vehicle. The vehicle idled abnormally and lost power. The vehicle needed a new battery, and a left front headlight assembly. There was a knocking issue when going over bumps. Mr scc *jb

Intermittent - while stopped, vehicle vibrates/starts to stall and stops - "check engine light" comes on. Car will restart instantly and run o.K. (Light goes out).
