1991 Eagle Premier Reviews

Normal belts and hoses after nearly 20 years.

Digital thermometer on dash stopped working, then one day began again.

Glove box door would not close properly.

I purchased this car new in '91 for a great price (Even then the dealers didn't want them). I've always liked the looks of the Premier and the different grille and tail lights on the Limited added to the look.

After purchasing the car, various people I ran into asked me if I was insane, but after nearly 20 years and close to 275,000 miles, you tell me. The dealer even told me when I took it in for some regular maintenance, that I was damn lucky to have one of the few Premiers that did not require thousands of dollars of work.

The interior is comfortable and large enough for 5 adults and the engine has never let me down.

I will have to say that the transmission does shift rather harshly, but even that has never given out (and I am told that this is the major problem with these cars).

As long as you are good to your car from the beginning, your car will be good to you.

If I could find another Premier with low miles (though evidently, it doesn't matter) that I know has been well kept, I would definitely purchase another. (Or maybe three of them, so I can maybe build one good one?)

The outer brake lines are cracking and are unavailable through common parts stores.

The engine overheats and has left me stranded twice already.

The handle to open the drivers door broke and no replacement parts are available. As a result I must lower the window, then open the door and then roll the window back up to exit the car.

The wipers are stopped at the middle of the windshield and will not go down out of view.

Steering wanders from side to side despite a new alignment.

The headliner fell the day I bought it.

The comfort is amazing and even luxurious.

Many options like climate control are a plus.

There is plenty of headroom and legroom.

I needed a new transmission at 92,000 miles.

The passenger side power window doesn't work in the winter.

The stereo has a 50-50 chance of working.

If you honk the horn, all the fuses blow.

My windshield wipers only work on low.

The air conditioning makes the car stall and overheat.

When opening and closing the driver's side door, the electrical opponents do not work.

The gear shift is off.

Needed new axle at 95,000 miles.

The hazard lights will not turn on.

Even through it's many faults. I love this car.

The leather full size seats make this car the most comfortable I've been in.

It handles sharp around corners and when taking off.

A/C Compressor, Thermostat, Alternator, Seat Belt, Left Rear Window Motor, Speedometer Gage, Struts. Transmission stuck in gear, but an oil change and additive cured it.

Some of the problems I've had was due to dealer rip off and incompetence.

Car has been reliable, and only broke down once (due to thermostat) in 12 years.

Used to work for Chrysler so this is my third Premier--an 89, 90 and this 91. I totaled the 90 Premier in an 80 mph accident against a barrier and was impressed by its crash-worthiness. When I got laid off by Chrysler I bought it and have kept it and TLC'ed it ever since, and it still looks very good.

Love the car, very sporty handling, great on curves, extremely spacious and comfortable, especially on long trips. Long seat cushions are very comfy, with generous head and leg room. Huge trunk. Looks great, and has a lovely sound system with graphic equalizer.

I have driven BMW's and Volvo's since having this Premier and it is still my favorite. Have had more unsolicited compliments on this car than any other, even BMW's and Volvo's. Best reaction was a Korean restaurant owner when I pulled up in the car--in a thick Korean accent, he said "My Godd, whata kinde off a car isa disse".

The heater core is bad in the car. Other than that, everything else has been fine.

This car has been pretty reliable. It runs good and has some power. The interior design is excellent.

A fan ripped off.

A lady hit me and had the right panel fixed.

And the A/C replaced.

Overall a pretty good and nice car. It's a granny mobile but it depends if you fix it up nice or not ;.
