Hello. I had a scary incident on friday, january 17 2014, and have been thinking about it and if it could have been prevented. I was driving on a state highway in pg county md when I heard a loud bang and my car suddenly swerved sharply to the left and crossed the center line into the path of an oncoming dump truck. Obviously I was able to react quickly enough and force my car back into the correct lane and then off to the side of the road. It took every bit of strength I had. The truck was just about 30 feet...

away and if the break had been a second or so later there would have been no time to react. My mechanic said it was a broken strut assembly and that he had never seen one break like that. It was pretty traumatic to think I could have been dead... Occasionally I read about an accident where a vehicle crosses the center line into the path of another vehicle. We are left with the assumption that this was due to driver inattention or impairment. When you investigate, do you ever find that these accidents are due to the failure of a vehicle part? If so, can you see ways that these accidents can be prevented, perhaps by having certain parts inspected regularly? Thank you for your attention to this issue. *Tr

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...

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

1-Put 1994 eagle vision into reverse to get out of driveway at my home. On turning wheel to left into street, car started violently shaking, would not move, and making this loud thick noise. Car is not exactly in middle of street. In fear of terrible sound, turned car off, thinking that may help what ever is the problem (didn't have any idea what to do). Concerned about being in the smack dab middle of street and being hit, turned car back on, in 'park' is ok, when I shift into any 'moving gear i.E rev, drive, o ...

or 3) it starts making noise, shaking again, car is lurching like it is in a earthquake. Turned off. I thought if I could turn it on,put in neutral and roll to curb, I could get out of the street. As soon as I get to a 'rev', before neutral, starts the shaking, noise, etc. I go to neutral, it won't move. I am 126 lbs, alone, but my thought was to push it to start rolling to curb, won't budge, wheel against well. I get back in, put in park, turn off. Walked around, noticed the passr front tire against wheel well. Tried turn wheel, sharp left, it wouldn't respond,wheel straight was hitting wheel well piece which was why the wheel would not turn. I call a tow truck to move the car. Tow truck driver arrives I tell him what happened, show the wheel position, stuck to wheel well. Tow truck driver car said he saw control arm was torn/broken/apart from frame of car. Car towed back into driveway until husband arrived and discussed. 2-Lower control arm is torn away from sub frame. Consequences, disrupted traffic, possible loss of control, injury to self, injury to others, death if car went out of control at high speed or on busy street or in intersection. 3-In progress. Car towed to dealer 09/14/04. 9/14/04 Dealer says looks like sub frame cracked, asked if in a accident. No. Dealer says he called chrsyler, chrysler says don't do anything they want to have zone rep. Look at it, and will let me know how to proceed. 9/15/04 Did not hear from dealer at all, no messages. *Jb

At 22,000 miles my vehicle lost 50% of its left turn radius while driving creating a potentially fatal situation for me and my passengers. The vehicle was repaired under warranty. At 49,000 it happened again. This time the dealer told me it was beyond the 3/36 warranty and I had to pay the entire $1400 for a new rack and pump. I am in the insurance industry and have regular contact with people and their automobiles. Other owners of the eagle vision tsi and esi from 94 thru 97 tell of similar problems with...

their steering. I find this beyond coincidental and feel this should be an open recall to repair a potentially disastrous product flaw. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Dennis olson. *Ak
Tires & rims were too large for vehicle hubs. Vehicle would drift & vibrate. Took vehicle back & mechanic did nothing about tires or rims. Was informed it was stablizer pin & it was replaced. Had the front end aligned. But, problem still present after two tires were bought. Taking vehicle back to dealership. Goodyear p225/60r16. *Ak

Since I purchased the car in 1994, I have had persistent problems with the alignment. I took it back to the dealer about a week later and told them that the steering wheel was off center. They told me that was normal for that car. I have had several alignments done, rotated tires, it seems that the car cannot hold an alignment at all. The dealer changed two tires one year for me because the tires on the car were damaged so badly. This was several years ago, however, the problem still persists.
Recall 99v215000, on march 1, 2000 dealer installed a bracket for engine cradle recall. Dealer is richardson eagle, 1376 east f street, oakdale, ca 209-847-3025. Three weeks later, a loud horrible noise came from front end. Took vehicle to dealer, and he retorqued the bracket. Problem is still occurring, and dealer keeps retorquing the bracket. Seems that the solution didnt remedy the recall. *Ak
