WE OWN A 1994 EAGLE SUMMIT THAT WAS SUBJECT TO RECALL CAMPAIGN 98V168003, BUT THE WORK WAS NEVER PERFORMED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OWNED BY THE PRIOR OWNER. ARE WE STILL ENTITLED TO HAVE THE SAFETY RELATED RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED WITHOUT CHARGE? *TR

HEAD GASKET FAILED THREE TIMES ON 1994 EAGLE SUMMIT. REPAIRED BY DEALER ON 12/26/96; SECOND TIME BY INDEPENDENT SHOP ON 1/16/99; NOW IN FOR THIRD TIME TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT SHOP ON 10/30/01. COST TO REPAIR APPROX. $800 EACH TIME.*AK

I REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION SOON AFTER TEH CAR WAS PAID FOR AND WAS SURPRISED AFTER TAKING EXCELLENT CARE OF THE CAR. ALMOST A YEAR HAD PAST AND THE USED TRANSMISSION THAT I REPLACED THE FIRST ON WITH HAS TURNED OUT BAD AS WELL. I THINK THAT CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN CHEATED BECAUSE THESE CARS ARE NOT BEING MADE ANY MORE AND THE COMPANY SEEMS TO NOT CARE ABOUT FUTURE CONSUMERS.*AK

UPON ACCELERATION TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP OUT OF GEAR, CAUSING LOSS OF POWER, SPEED, AND POSSIBLY CONTROL OF VEHICLE. CONSUMER HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REBUILT TWICE. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING NOTICED GAS FUMES INSIDE OF VEHICLE. ALSO, VEHICLE WAS LOSING FUEL. DEALER STATED FUEL LINE WAS CRACKED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY, GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE MOTOR WAS RACING, BUT TRANSMISSION QUIT. CONTACTED DEALER. *AK
