Had to replace the timing belt after it broke and bent all of the valves.
The Alternator went out at about 160000.
Passenger window won't roll down from the driver side.
The radio/cd player/cassette shorts out randomly in cold and hot weather.
The alarm goes off every 10 minutes even with the fuse out.
The horn hasn't worked since I bought it.
The trunk doesn't stay up in cold weather, it has to be held.
Doesn't start on the first try, usually the third.
The door unlock keyfob is shorted out and the doors unlock as you are walking away from it.
Passenger headlamp cover has "fogged" over and replacements are impossible to find.
The overdrive won't engage and now the car can only safely go 60mph.
The cruise control works most of the time.
When it is running it's a good little car and I love it to death.
I love taking corners fast in it.
I noticed in this review that a "fogged headlamp" was mentioned and a replacement was dubbed impossible to find. I myself have a 1995 Eagle Talon and have had both headlamps replaced. The easiest way to find one or both is through www.Ebay.com or an auto parts store. The lamps are the exact match for the 1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse also which makes them easy to find.
Hey I have a 95 talon esi and I have replaced a lot. my lamps are fogged to. I have just one thing to tell you go the the junk yard get in good with the owner and ur all set I have replaced just about everything in the interior of the car and the head lamps are impossible to get in or out and there expensive so go to the junkyard you will find everything there I promise.
I have a 95 ESI and my horn has never worked either. I got the horn replaced and it worked for a couple days, but then was told it was a wire to the horn that was broke and they would have to take out my airbag to fix it. I said forget it and now have no horn (it teaches me to drive nicer :) ). Also, I have the same problem with it not starting on the first try. You can hear the starter turning over, but it never catches. Right now, my main problem is when I go 45-50 mph, and try to accelerate, it doesn't want to go and just struggles to do anything. Spark plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter are all fine. Any suggestions?
