1993 Eagle Vision recalls 5
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The lower control arm attaching brackets can crack due to fatigue and separate from the engine cradle.
- The risk
- If this occurs, the transmission half-shaft could pull out of the transaxle and result in loss of power.
- The fix
- Dealers will reinforce the engine cradle at the point where the lower control arm attaches to it.
- The problem
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles built with 3.5L engines. The fuel injection delivery system can leak fuel from some of the sealing o-rings or from hair line cracks in the thermoset fuel injection rail.
- The risk
- Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the fuel rail o-rings and reinforce the outlet (passenger) side fuel rail. Vehicles showing fuel leakage on the outlet fuel rail must have the outlet rail replaced which includes changing the upper and lower injector o-rings. However, if a vehicle is leaking fuel from the o-rings or from a cracked fuel line, the vehicle should be taken into a dealer to have this repaired as soon as possible.
- The problem
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles built with 3.3L engines. The 'o-rings' used to seal the interface of the fuel injector rail supply, return and cross over tubes are not as robust as those used in later model years. Deterioration of the 'o-rings' can cause fuel leakage.
- The risk
- In the presence of an ignition source, fuel leakage in the engine compartment could result in a fire.
- The fix
- DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ENGINE FUEL RAIL.
- The problem
- The front suspension lower control arm tension strut washers can crack and fall off due to hydrogen embrittlement.
- The risk
- Loss of a washer will cause a clunking sound, heardduring braking. If left unattended, the loss of the washer will eventuallyresult in tension strut attachment failure that can result in loss of steeringcontrol and an accident.
- The fix
- Replace the front and rear strut bar washers and nuts.

Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners. Page 1 of 7.
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

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.

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.
Fuel was leaking from the fuel rail. Consumer had vehicle towed to the dealership. Vehicle caught on fire while being towed to the dealership, and dealership refused to honor the fuel leakage recall 98v184000 because of the fire. Vehicle had been at the dealership for a month. *Ak
Fuel rail/injection system leak. Reference nhtsa 98v184000 and chrysler recall number 790. 3 Incidents of fuel system leak due to defective fuel rail system leak. Nhtsa 98v184000/chrysler recall 790 is for supposedly fixing right (passenger) side injection rail but fails to acknowledge and address fixing left (driver) side fuel injection rail which has same problem. Note: root cause of fuel leak is that the fuel injection rail is made of a plastic which eventually shrinks or cracks.
Air bag failure in 1993 eagle vision tsi. After full frontal impact with guardrail that probably should have deployed airbags, the airbag warning light was on but airbags had failed to deploy. Occupant was bruised by seatbelt but otherwise uninjured. *Ak
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
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
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...
