THE TRANSFER CASE WENT OUT OF MY TALON TSI AWD TURBO IN 06/05. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD 75 MPH & BANG!-JERK!BANG!JERK!BANG!JERK! THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO FELT FUNNY, LIKE IT GOT LOOSE AND WASN'T HOOKED TO THE TIRES ANYMORE. I PULLED OVER THE AND HEARD A LOUD CLUNK (METAL ON METAL SORT OF SOUND) AND PUT IT INTO GEAR TO BABY IT INTO WORK, IT MADE MORE NOISES AND JERKS BUT SEEMED TO RUN. I COULD SMELL A BURNING SMELL SO I PARKED. THE SHOP PICKED IT UP AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY ASKED IF I WAS SURE I KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT! I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR FOR 90000 MILES! I KNEW WHAT WASN'T NORMAL! I PICKED IT UP AND GUESS WHAT, IT RAN GREAT! I SPEEDED UP AND SLOWED DOWN AGAIN AND AGAIN AND IT JUST WOULDN'T ACT UP! I COULD FAINTLY SMELL THE BURNING SMELL BUT FIGURED I PICKED UP SOME PIECE OF SOMETHING OFF OF THE ROAD AND IT HAD BEEN STUCK BUT FELL OUT WHEN I STOPPED. I WENT FOR 50 MILES, NO PROBLEMS, THEN THE BANGING AND JERKING STARTED AGAIN MUCH WORSE THIS

I WENT THROUGH EMISSIONS AND FAILED BECAUSE THERE WAS AN OBD ERROR SAYING THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, HOWEVER IT WAS NOT. I CALLED TO THE STATE EMISSIONS BOARD AND THEY SAID IT WAS A RECALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AT THE END OF MAY AND IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT EVER SINCE TRYING TO FIX THIS RECALL. IT HAS NOW BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP CONSEQUENTLY FOR TWO MONTHS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME MORE THAN ONCE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO ONE MORE TEST AND THEN IF IT FAILS THEY WILL CALL CHRYSLER AND TELL THEM IT CAN NOT BE FIXED. BUT EVERY TIME THEY DO THE TEST AND IT FAILS THEY END UP DOING THE TESTS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I ACTUALLY HAD TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE SO I WOULD HAVE A CAR TO DRIVE TO AND FROM HOME WORK SCHOOL AND DR'S APPOINTMENTS. I AM 8 MOTHS PREGNANT RIGHT NOW AND ON BED REST AND MY DOCTOR IS SAYING I DO NOT NEED ALL THIS EXTRA STRESS. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER THREE TIMES WHOM TELLS ME ALL I CAN DO IS CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE GENERAL MANAG

WE TOOK A CAR THAT WE RECENTLY PURCHASED FROM A PRIVATE PARTY TO OUR MECHANIC FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND FOUND THAT THE HEAD GASKET IS LEAKING AND IT WILL COST $1000.00 FOR REPAIR. ALSO FOUND OUT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT THE EAGLE TALON HAD AND THAT THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL ON IT. WE FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD DO THE REPAIR AT NO COST TO US. WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP THAT YOU COULD GIVE US. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. ANN PIRRELLO. *JB
