“I have a 95 Eagle Talon tsi and I have a transfer case noise and leaky transfer case it is part of the transfer case recall 780. Chrysler says the recall is one time only everything I have read says safety recalls are for the life of the vehicle. I contacted a dealership and they said there was no such recall. I am afraid it is going to lock up after reading about it online”
NHTSA complaint #10788043, filed 2015-11, 20 miles“My wheels locked up while I was doing about 60 MPH. It caused me to swerve into the other lane. Thank god there was not any traffic coming or someone could of been hurt. The mechanic said its the transfer case, which is already got a recall but there is a thing that all talons, eclipses, and lasers get from their years of 90-98, have a thing called crankwalk which can cause accidents also but chrysler or mitsubishi wont take responsibility for.”
NHTSA complaint #10129998, filed 2005-07, 55,144 miles“Driving home from work one day when I made a left turn my RPM's went down from about 3000 to 1400 and I had problems engaging the clutch. When I got home, I went online and started my research on my vehicle. I found out that I could possibly be the crank pulley. My vehicle is 15 years old and I know that, but when I research the recalls on it, there were 14 safety recalls. While I don't want the car to lock up on me driving at highway speeds I have to fix that but in this day and age, how am I suppose to pay for all the defects? …”
