I bought an 1994 Eagle Vision. It has been a good car, it has 187,000 miles, and ran like a charm, but just recently the thermostat went out, and now the water pump or the head gasket went out.
To me they're OK cars, but the seats break, and the exhaust rattles at like 100,000.
To me Chyrsler needs a lil more sense.
I have a 95 Eagle vision, bought it from my Aunt. Has 120K on it. Replaced transmission at 36K and had problems again here 10K ago and was just about to replace the tranny when I found out the input/output speed sensors were bad. Replaced them and it works fine!! EGR, Fuel Pump, Fuel press. regulator, intake manifold leak and now I have A/C problems. Blows the freon out of the back of the compressor. I take care of it the best I can but man, this thing is falling apart around me.
I have a 1994 Eagle Vision TSI. It has 155,000 miles and makes clunking noises, etc. It has been an OK car, but it has no heat. I was told it was probably the actuators... I don't think I would buy this car again.
I bought a 1995 Eagle Vision ESI in May of 2009. One owner car. The car has been garage stored and only had 27,000 miles on it. The engine oil was changed every 3 months even if the original owner had only put several hundred miles on it because she read the owners manual... and followed the 3 month thing not the mileage. LOL.
Anyway the car is like a brand new car. After putting about 2 thousand miles on it, the inner tie rod bushings went out and the car wandered all over the road. (common problem) Picked up the new parts, and after many hours working on it, I got them changed out. What an experience it was. The original inner rubber bushings were completely deteriorated and had fallen out. Hardest part replacing them was getting the locking tabs pulled out, and then finding the bolt holes in the rack and pinion and starting the bolts. It is a cramped and tight area to work in, even with the 3.3 engine. Turning the wheels all the way to the left was the only way to access the passenger side bolt, and it was a bear to get in and out.
The car is now perfect again, and time will tell how it holds up. Researching this car on the net I found the inner tie rod ends are a major issue and tend to go out prematurely. It seems several if not many people have had this issue and actually lost steering while driving and wrecked out. First thing I noticed was to drive straight, I had to keep the steering wheel turned about 4" to the left. Then the wandering started and a lot of freeplay in the steering wheel in both directions.
If you experience any of this, check the inner tie rods right away and it will be more than likely the issue. This applies to all of the Chrysler, Dodge and Eagle cars with the rack and pinion mounted on the firewall behind the engine.
