   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

   1995 EAGLE TALON TSI AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. HERE'S HOW... I WASN'T EVEN MOVING AND WENT INTO THE CAR WASH AND NOTHING HAPPENED CAR DIDN'T EVEN MOVE. IT WILL START IN PARK AND NEUTRAL. BUT WILL NOT GO IN GEAR. NO SOUND WAS MADE I WAS GOING IN THE CAR WASH AND WENT TO PUSH ON THE GAS AND CAR DID NOT GO ANYWHERE. SO THE EMPLOYEE'S THERE HAD TO PUSH IT THROUGH THE CAR WASH. WILL NOT SHIFT AT ALL. FLUID LEVEL IS GOOD AND CLEAN HAS BEEN SERVED BEFORE BUT WHY DID IT GO OUT. I'VE CHECK EVERYTHING. BY THE WAY IM CERTIFIED IN AUTOMOTIVES BOTH GAS AND DIESEL. SO I KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. SO THE RECALL SHOULD COVER IT.... IT BETTER. IT WOULD COST ME OVER $1800.00 TO FIX IT. *TR

7. Filed Apr 21, 2010Failure Apr 20, 2010169,980 milesBloomingdale, NJDriveline

   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? I CERTAINLY CAN'T AFFORD ALL THE REPAIRS AND LIVING IN A RURAL AREA WHERE I HAVE NO CO-WORKERS LIVING BY ME HOW DO I DO THE REPAIRS AND STAY WITHOUT A CAR AND KEEP MY JOB. I DID WHAT I THOUGHT ALMOST EVERYONE DOES AND CHECKED A CARFAX REPORT BUT THAT DOESN'T SHOE THE RECALLS. I WISH I WAS AWARE OF THAT BUT NOW I FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING A TIMEBOMB WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. DO ANY DEALERSHIPS SEE THIS AND FIX THEM AFTER 10 + YEARS JUST FOR SOMEONE'S SAFETY? I'M A SINGLE DAD AND CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE MY JOB OR FIX THE CAR BUT PEOPLE SHOULD BE MORE AWARE OF THESE THINGS INSTEAD OF JUST SEEING CARFAX COMMERCIALS. PLEASE ADVISE. SHOULD I CONTACT THE INSURANCE CARRIER NOW THAT I KNOW THIS? *TR

9. Filed Feb 28, 2006Failure Feb 21, 200668,800 milesRockford, OHTransfer case (4-wheel drive)

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
