My battery went out at 99,000.
The passenger side door sensor doesn't shut off the interior lights so that has to be fixed somehow.
Its a fun little car, but the little things in the car drive you nuts. Only get one if you don't plan on having any other debt... because the little things that go wrong can break you!
I have a '91 Talon and am looking for an engine for a '93 Talon.
They are fun cars to drive and they are generally reliable. But when they break, they are very expensive. Even for relatively minor repairs.
For you who like to drive them but can't fix 'em, don't ignore the 60,000 mile timing belt change or you will regret it to the tune of about $3000.
I bought a '93 Talon DL brand new. I have 198,000 miles now and she's still ticking along.
1 timing belt.
1 set of brakes all around (need em again though).
1 alternator.
Lots of oil changes...
This car owes me nothing. It's never let me down and has never required me to dig deep into my wallet.
All cars should be as dependable.
I have a 1993 Talon DL, and it works perfect. But I am starting to feel the transmission jump and all that. I am just wondering if anyone else has ever had transmission problems because I have heard rumors (by the way, it's an automatic.) Email me, Bgjon87@aol.com, thanks.
If you know the trans is going on your 93 talon get rid of it know while you still can. they are big dollars and hard to find. trust me I'm going through it!!!
Watch the transmission, if it starts slipping get it fixed right away. The trani in my 94 Talon DL has been rebuilt twice in thirteen months. Otherwise, the only problem I've had the last 5 years was the timing belt breaking. The unexpected repairs are expensive, but overall I am very happy with the little car. For the huge amount of miles I've put on it, and hardly any maintenance, I can't complain. And it has always started!!
