1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD review from North America
"Don't judge a cake by the frosting only!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
(4-94) the headlights failed.
(6-97) the engine control computer failed ($975.00).
(8-99) the right pop-up headlight assembly went
($400.00).
(7-00) the alternator (voltage regulator failed), the dealer says that there is not one to be had in Canada, the USA and Mexico (8-25-00). The car has been at the dealers since 8-5, waiting for parts!
When (and if!) I get it back, I am trading it in. It's fun to drive, but one has to have the patience of Job to own it (is there a reconditioned alternator out there somewhere, send it to Dade Chrysler/Plymonth, Miami Fla. ASAP!)
General comments?
Fun car, but I can't live with the headaches it brings anymore!!!!!!!!!
