1995 Eagle Talon ESi review from North America
"A fixer upper"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I really like my car, but I have had a number of things go wrong with it.
My reverse lights don't work, and I have had my horn worked on several times, and it still doesn't work right.
The windows rattle when they are down.
My driver's side door handle on the outside has broken. And that is about it.
They aren't much to fix, but it gets frustrating having to fix something every time you turn around. I have 3 friends that have one, and their lights also don't work, and they have had some of the same other problems.
General comments?
Don't get me wrong, I really like the car. Would I buy another one?? Yes I would, I just wish the dealer would work with us on getting some of these things fixed. If there are all these cars out there and most of them are having the same problems then I think that is a dealer issue. They could work with us.
