Mr. Larry a. Sackey submitted a petition to the federal safety agency by letter dated april 18, 2003, requesting that agencyfurther investigate the defective collapsible steering shaft system on 1987-1995 vehicles manufactured by the daimlerchrysler corporation.in part because of 49 cfr ? 30120(g), the federal safety agency has decided to limit the scope of the petition vehicles to 1993-1995 models, excluding the 1993 jeep grand cherokee and 1994-1995 dodge ram series trucks that were recalled (93v210 & 96v230) for steering column failure.if the analysis of these vehicles had identified a potential problem, the scope could have been expanded in an investigation.a review of odi's data base shows no recent complaints and a lack of a complaint trend concerning the subject issue on the subject vehicles as a whole or by individual models.therefore, the petition is denied.for details, see federal register notice volume 68, no. 130, july 8, 2003.

What 1995 Eagle Vision owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving rack and pinion failed. This caused the consumer to lose power steering temporally. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
While driving straight and hitting a bump vehicle steered inadvertently. Contacted dealer, and dealer stated no recall on vehicle.
The failure is 2 bushings attaching the rack to the steering gear have broken and fallen out, leaving metal bolts to hit metal which will eventually break the bolts, causing the car to be unsteerable. Dealer says the whole rack will have to be replaced because they can not get the bushings separate.
I noticed fluid leaking from steering pump area. Low mileage car (well taken care of. When turning, I do not crank wheel all the way until it stops to keep pressure off seals in pump). I noticed fluid a few months ago but ignored it (not much leakage). When chrylser ovehauled my transmission 2 weeks ago, eventhough I forgot to mention to them, they did not see nor notify me of it. Another tactic of the dealer waiting for it to become more serious (thus more costly) to repair. There's no way they could have missed it!!
The steering all but failed at low speeds and was extremely dangerous at high speeds (55 MPH & higher). I had difficulty controlling the steering of the car. Car would also shake violently at times. Cost of repair was $754.88.

At 46,500 miles, tie rod bushins were almost completely 'disintegrated'. I had popping noises bring it to my attention local midas shop repaired the problem. Today I saw a news release on the auto.com web page so I thought it would be a good idea to post my problem. I have my receipt from the repair and will follow up with chrysler for reimbursement once chrysler is notified by the federal safety agency on the mandatory recall information.
Dealer and chrysler both contacted with complaint. No resolution offered. Repaired by my mechanic who also contacted dealer, who offered no resolution. Same faiure recurred at 100,000 miles; repaired again by my mechanic who was surprised chrysler would not help. No safety defect (s) listed in summary.
Air conditioner condensor coil stopped working at 72600 miles. Consumer took vehicle to dealer, and dealer replaced it. Also, when using defroster the rugs get wet.
