1995 Eagle Talon ESI review from North America
"This car is a lemon and a half"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well when I first got my car, the first thing to go wrong was the radio, it just stopped working.
Then shortly after that the alternator belt just broke right off.
So I decided to go to Pep Boys to get that fixed well, since then I've been there 3 times, because my belts keeps coming off.
My muffler is about to come off, because it is all rusted from the inside out.
My transmission is slipping, and it is just about to fall out of my car.
None of my lights come on...ex. overdrive, coolant, low battery, gas
My overdrive doesn't work at all.
I had no front brakes when I got the car, they were paper thin.
My tires were as bald as can be and still are.
I actually went under my car and saw that my front axle is bent.
There was a nail in the tire when I got the car, it looked like it was hit in with a hammer.
The spare tire couldn't fit in the trunk because the car was hit from behind, and the back was all smashed in.
The headlights, well there weren't any there.
My blinkers didn't work, and well they still don't.
But I think that is all my problems, there are probably more, I just can't think of any.
General comments?
I have some dents on my door, and back bumper, but besides that is looks great on the outside. Just don't look in the engine, you would laugh.
