What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Electrical problem in alarm/lights/door lock and vehicle ran stop sign, struck car/driver's and passenger's ait bags did not deploy, driver sustained injuries.
The bolts which held the steering links to the rack and pinion sheared off while driving. This resulted in lost of steering power, which almost resulted in an accident. The manufacturer and dealership has been contacted.
My father in laws 1994 eagle vision had complete steering failure only moments after my 16 year old son arrived home. Thankfully no one was hurt. I have just found out that this is a very common problem for eagle and intrepid models. It happened only yesterday and I have not had time to repair the car but the problem is in the steering assembly. The tie rod ends have sheared off and completely disabled the steering.
