1993 Eagle Summit

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: ALL WHEEL DRIVE PASSENGER VEHICLES. LOCKUP OF THE TRANSFER CASE CAN OCCUR DUE TO INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION.

Risk. THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES FOR ADEQUACY OF THE TRANSFER CASE OIL VOLUME, TRANSFER CASE OIL LEAKAGE, AND OPERATIONAL DEGRADATION OF THE TRANSFER CASE MECHANISM. IF OIL VOLUME IS INSUFFICIENT, THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF OIL WILL BE ADDED. IF THERE IS TRANSFER CASE OIL LEAKAGE, AFFECTED COMPONENTS WILL BE REPLACED. IF THE TRANSFER CASE SHOWS OPERATIONAL DEGRADATION, THE TRANSFER CASE WILL BE REPLACED.

Defect. THE GUIDE RAIL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE CONTAINS A COVERED CABLE AND ALSO AN ANGLED BELT GUIDE AT THE TOP END OF THE WEBBING. THE COMBINATION OF THESE FACTORS CAN LEAD, OVER TIME, TO THE CABLE'S MOVEMENT EXERTING ABRADING FORCE TO THE LOWER EDGES OF THE CABLE'S CHAMBER, SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE THE CABLE TO DROP OUT OF THE CHAMBER WITH THE SHOULDER BELT ANCHORAGE BECOMING STUCK.

Risk. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW REPLACEMENT GUIDE RAIL THAT INCORPORATES A DOUBLE LIP DUST SEAL AND AN ANODIC OXIDE COATING.

Defect. EXCESS LUBRICATION CAN CAUSE THE RUBBER DOOR LATCH SWITCH COVER TO DEFORM, AND THE DOOR LATCH SWITCH TO MALFUNCTION, SO THAT THE SHOULDER BELT ANCHORAGE WOULD REMAIN AT THE A-PILLAR WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED.

Risk. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DOOR LATCH SWITCH WITH A SWITCH THAT UTILIZES REDUCED LUBRICATING GREASE, IMPROVED CONTACT SURFACE, AND A DIFFERENT RUBBER ISOLATION BOOT.

AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT IS INOPERABLE.*AK "RECALL CAMPAIGNS", FOR TRANSAXLES COOLER HOSES, INSTALLED COOLER HOSES.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 1993 EAGLE SUMIT, PURCHASED IN DOVER DE. WITHIN IN THE FIRS TWO YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE SEAT BELT HARNESS WAS RECALLED BY THE MANUFACURE. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL.

THE SEAT BELT HARNESS RECENTLY STOPPED WORKING COMPLETLY.TTHE SEAT BELT HARNESS WAS CONSIDERED TO BE A SAFETY PROBEM NOTED AT MY RECENT RE-INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TO INQUIRE ABOUT REPAIRS/REPLACEMENT OF THE RECALLED SEATBELT HARNESS. AND AND ANY WARRANTY/GUARNTEE OF THE CURRENT RECALLED SEAT BELT.THE DEALERSHIP'S CURREN MANAGER STATED THAT CHRYLSER DOES NOT REINBURSE FOR RECALL PARTS IN VEHICLES THIS OLD.

AT THE PRESENT TIME, I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE CAR NOT PASSING INSPECTION DUE TO THE SEAT BELT HARNESS PROBLEM AND THE HIGH COST OF THE REPLACEMENT PART.

ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND WHERE MY CAR HAD A RECALL IN 1998 FOR THE POWER TRAIN TRANSMISSION AUTOMATIC. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE OF THIS RECALL. OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, I HAVE BEEN HAVING OIL LEAKS. I HAD A HEAD GASKET REPLACED IN LATE 1999. I HAD AN OIL LEAK AGAIN THIS YEAR, IN MARCH 2001. THEY HAD TO REPAIR THE OIL DRAIN PLUG. THEN IN MAY 2001, I HAD TO GET THE MAIN SEAL VALVE FIXED. LATE JULY 2001, THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. NOW APPARENTLY THE OIL IS BURNING INSIDE THE ENGINE. IF THIS RECALL HAD BEEN DONE ON MY CAR, COULD THIS HAVE BEEN PREVENTED? CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK FOR THE MONEY THAT I HAVE SPENT, IF IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE AS PART OF THE RECALL? I'M NOW AT THE POINT WHERE I HAVE TO HAVE OIL CHANGES EVERY TWO MONTHS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE CAR UNTIL I CAN AFFORD A NEW ONE. ANY ASSISTANCE, WILL BE GREAT.
