Consumer Description

MISMATCHED SIZES BETWEEN CRANKSHAFT AND BALL BEARINGS, ENABLING THE CRANKSHAFT TO MOVE. THE MOVING CRANKSHAFT DESTROYED THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR, AND THERE IS SIGNIFICANT WEAR IN THE BALL BEARINGS. ALL THREE INDEPENDENT DEALERS I CONTACTED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM DEEM IT BEYOND NORMAL WEAR--A DEFECTIVE PART. FURTHER RESEARCH AT THE DSM CAR CLUB (HTTP://WWW.DSM.ORG) REVEALED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN TALON/ECLIPSES, MODEL YEARS 1995-1998. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE CAR ENGINE WILL STOP WITH NO WARNING, LEAVING THE DRIVER WITHOUT ASSISTED STEERING. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, BUT THEY DISAVOW ANY RESPONSIBILITY.*AK
