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.

- What is wrong
- On certain passenger vehicles, the floor shifter ignition-park interlock may fail and allow the shifter to be moved out of the park position with the key removed. An inoperative interlock may also allow the key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the park position.
- Risk
- Either circumstance may result in the vehicle rolling away without warning.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a new load-limiting push rod into the floor shifter lever of the affected vehicles. Owner notification began on june 14, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403.

Auto trans ignition-park interlock
The manufacturer reports above are based on daimlerchrysler?s (dc) analysis of model year (my) 1998 (population = 356,384) and 1999 (population = 486,948) ja, jx and lh family subject vehicle data (earlier mys excluded).the population number includes all mys.the precise number of duplicates between odi and dc reports cannot be determined due to missing or incomplete information.the fatality incident involved an elderly person who attempted to stop a roll away vehicle and received fatal injuries.odi also gathered information on my 1997-99 prowler vehicles in this investigation. The prowler vehicles were manufactured with a different design shifter mechanism (the shift lever is shorter).there are no complaints of prowler interlock failure in odi?s database, and dc has received no reports either.the prowler is excluded from the recall scope.the investigation involved a condition where the interlock system could fail (or be made inoperative by the operator) during vehicle use, possibly inadvertently.the interlock system is required under fmvss 114.with the transmission in the park position and the ignition key off, the combined action of pressing the shift button and pulling the shift lever rearward may result in the operator overcoming the interlock system and cause the mechanical linkage of the system to disconnect.when this occurs, there is no overt indication to an operator that the system is defeated, and an increased risk of vehicle roll-away exists.under recall 04v021, dc will replace damaged shift mechanisms, and will install on all vehicles a device which inhibits the operator?s ability to overcome the interlock and defeat the system.beginning with my 2000, dc incorporated a brake and transmission shifter interlock (btsi) system into the subject vehicles.introduction of btsi involved design changes to the shift mechanism, one of which resulted in reduced mechanical advantage (rma) of the shift button.the rma shifter requires increased forces to overcome the interlock system, making the shifter less susceptible to damage.

What 1994 Eagle Vision owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Erratic transmission shift. Eventually locked up in 2nd gear. Replaced transmission in 8/06 with only 71000 miles on vehicle. 300 miles later, back in the shop. Now possible TCM issue. This is the 2nd transmission replaced.
Dt: consumer complained about rack and pinion steering problem. When turning corners has to be strong to turn, it's like there is no power steering. Contacted the manufacturer, and they say consumer will have to pay for repairs. There is a recall that includes the trans axle, but not the rack and pinion. This started happening on may 30, 2005.
During normal operation of the vehicle automatic transmission intermittently will not shift from second to third gear and will lose power while traveling at any speed. Dealership has previously replaced transmission three tires, and the problem has occurred again. Please provide any additional information / documentation.
As I was pulling out of a parking space my front right transmission half-shaft pulled out from the transaxle.
Torque converter and front pump have failed which would not allow the vehicle to shift out of 2nd gear. Dealer had to rebuilt transmission.
The original transmission was replaced after much hassling w/dealer, the replaced transmission is slipping very badly. The transmissions were not abused in any way.
Would have trouble shifting into gears. Owner noticed that automatic transmission was leaking fluid. Took vehicle to mechanic & was informed the seals on transmission were leaking. Had transmission repaired & problem has reappeared.
Dealership would not correct problem. No safety defect listed for above vehicle.
Rack & pinion steering was replaced due to excessive wear. Also, tie rod bushings wore out prematurely/strut bushing fell apart & needed replacing/ wheel hub & bearings were replaced again due to excessive wear.
