AI groups complaints by meaning; the groups are approximate. Share ratio compares the problem’s share of this vehicle’s complaints with its share on other vehicles over the last 24 months (shown from 3 recent complaints). A 2× ratio means twice the complaint share, not twice the failure risk. Flags mark unusual shares or recent surges after an AI review of the complaint content. “First signal” does not mean the pattern has persisted continuously.How recall estimates are calculated.
Recalls
NHTSA recall #04V021000January 13, 20042,315,768 vehicles affected
power train: automatic transmission: lever and linkage: floor shift
On certain passenger vehicles, the floor shifter ignition-park interlock may fail and allow the shifter to be moved out of the park position with the key removed. An inoperative interlock may also allow the key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the park position.
Either circumstance may result in the vehicle rolling away without warning.
Remedy
Dealers will install a new load-limiting push rod into the floor shifter lever of the affected vehicles. Owner notification began on june 14, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
NHTSA recall #99V215000August 9, 1999402,830 vehicles affected
suspension: front: control arm: lower arm
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The lower control arm attaching brackets Can crack due to fatigue and separate from the engine cradle.
If this occurs, the transmission half-shaft could pull out of the transaxle and result in loss of power.
Remedy
Dealers will reinforce the engine cradle at the point where the lower control arm attaches to it.
NHTSA recall #98V184000August 6, 1998722,600 vehicles affected
fuel system, gasoline: fuel injection system
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles built with 3.5L engines. The fuel injection delivery system Can leak fuel from some of the sealing o-rings or from hair line cracks in the thermoset fuel injection rail.
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source Can result in a fire.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the fuel rail o-rings and reinforce the outlet (passenger) side fuel rail. Vehicles showing fuel leakage on the outlet fuel rail must have the outlet rail replaced which includes changing the upper and lower injector o-rings. However, if a vehicle is leaking fuel from the o-rings or from a cracked fuel line, the vehicle should be taken into a dealer to have this repaired as soon as possible.
NHTSA recall #98V130000June 12, 199884,600 vehicles affected
fuel system, gasoline: delivery
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles built with 3.3L engines. The 'o-rings' used to seal the interface of the fuel injector rail supply, return and cross over tubes are not as robust as those used in later model years. Deterioration of the 'o-rings' Can cause fuel leakage.
In the presence of an ignition source, fuel leakage in the engine compartment could result in a fire.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the engine fuel rail.
NHTSA recall #92V128000September 15, 19923,000 vehicles affected
suspension: front
The front suspension lower control arm tension strut washers Can crack and fall off due to hydrogen embrittlement.
Loss of a washer will cause a clunking sound, heardduring braking. If left unattended, the loss of the washer will eventuallyresult in tension strut attachment failure that Can result in loss of steeringcontrol and an accident.
Remedy
Replace the front and rear strut bar washers and nuts.

About this data
NHTSA complaints and recalls through October 2026. Complaints are counted once each, however many components they name. Original complaints are on NHTSA's page for the 1993 Eagle Vision.
Problem groups are formed by AI and may be approximate. BrakeNews flags unusual complaint patterns; they are not official defect findings. Investigation reports are written and checked by AI, with no human review. Owner reports do not establish that a defect exists.
