1995 Eagle Talon ESI review from North America

My car had problems from day one, starting with chipped paint, door dings and spots in between the glass of the window.

The rotors were warped at 1000 miles and it took 3 separate visits and many more miles to repair.

The rear windshield wipers quit working (while it was raining) and the motor shorted out the front wipers.

My door handle on the driver side busted off in my hand.

My "check engine" light comes on and off as it pleases, even though no repairs seem to be in order.

The "engine coolant" light came on at will, also, but levels were fine and engine was running at proper temperature. Found out later that thermostat was broke, but thankfully stuck open rather than closed.

I lost my entire transmission at 60,000 miles, seems a pin that holds spider gears in place had a hairline fracture (from manufacturer) but Chrysler failed to repair it, since it was out of warranty.

Left front headlight must have a broken seal b/c it is foggy, as if water has caused a hazy layer on the inside ($180 to replace...phew!)

Seat belts in backseat got stuck down and would not work... dealer had to repair (at only 1500 miles).

Car reeks of "rotten eggs" (almost from day one) but Chrysler insists it is poor gas... but still does it today, despite what gas I use.

This car has a nice design, it looks sharp on the road.

Definitely a lemon... had I known better would have turned it in under the lemon law.

Handles turns nicely, but only after having wheels and tires replaced to something more sporty and lower in profile.

Seats are terribly uncomfortable, especially at long distances, definitely not a "comfort" car.
