What owners say
Consumer had to replace the transmission twice. *ph
I purchased my 1995 eagle vision from northtowne in amherst, ny, in 2001. Eight months after I purchased it, the transmission went, I had another installed. I later learned that eagles were known for transmission failure-my transmission went again on 2/13/04 costing me $810, I would like to file a claim against the company as I feel the whole system is defective and fear I will be putting in another transmission within the next year as I have been doing.
The lower control arm attaching bracket failed prior to recall notice 99v‑215 resulting in vehicle loosing acceleration pressure and eventually in transmission failure, consumer request reimbursement. Nlm
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.
Car would hesitate at a stop sign. It did not shift into gears properly. After starting the car and putting it into gear it would not move. We didn't report this problem to the dealer when it was first noticed. In june we called the dealer who wanted $60 just to look at it. We took it to cottman who told us it needed a new transmission. We notified chrysler they covered all but $200 on the rebuilt transmission.their computer indicated that there was no problem found.shorthly after the transmition was replaced the car will not start at the first try, we have to change manually the gears and try again to start the car, once the car start running is ok until the engine is turned off, the next time we have to repeat the same procedures, in case of an emergency the car will no start inmediately.we have to let the car sit for a few minutes to repeat the same operation.
Vehicle transmission began to slip in and out of gear constantly, and was brought to dealership for repairs. Vehicle misdiagnosed and shiftimg linkage replaced, vehicle problem continued. Also, engine overheated while at dealership and engine block destroyed, engine replaced at 8000 miles. Transmission problem persisted and was overhauled with one seal being replaced. Problem continued to 03/17/99. Was brought to shop after accident when vehicle was in reverse and transmission would not engage. Wgile engine revving transmission slammed into gear ,vehicle jumped backwards and struck parked vehicle. Also owned by myself. Both vehicles danaged. Dealership diagnosed vehicle with another seal leaking and put in new transmission. Factory rep. Would not allow lemon law filing, and would not make repairs to vehicle damaged from accident. I have been advised by other owners of these vehicles they have ex;perienced the same or similar problems with the transmission.

- 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.
