1994 Eagle Vision suspension problems

Filed Jun 29, 2007 · Brakes, Lights · KY

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.

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.

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.

Rear links, from rear end to body bracket, upper bolt galls in sleeve and breaks causing rear end to move. Attached to the links are the ABS sensor cables leading to the computer. When bolts snap, torque from the rear causes the links to move freely up and down. With this movement it also puts unusual strain on the ABS cables.
