Faults:

Transmission, heater core, master cylinder...

General Comments:

I traded a 1986 Honda Accord with 75,000 miles on it for the new Eagle Premier. With 14,000 miles on the odometer, the transmission had to be replaced. Wasn't long before the heater core went out. At around 31,000 miles the master cylinder was leaking.

Since it was over 20 years ago I owned the car, I can no longer recall all the issues I faced with the Eagle, but the master cylinder was the last straw. Trying to sell the car, I ran ads in the newspaper for over six months, and despite lowering the price, didn't get a single call.

Finally, I basically gave it to the Toyota dealership while purchasing a new 1992 Camry XLE, which I drove without incident until 2000 when I purchased a new Avalon XLS, which is still being driven by a family member. Since then Toyotas are all I purchase.

Faults:

Heating Core had to be replaced.

Automatic antennae is broken.

Overheats almost every time I drive it.

When I purchased it, it would not start on humid days, I had to purchase a very pricey little piece of plastic to fix the problem.

Speedometer doesn't work.

Oil pressure bounces up and down - if anyone knows the fix for this let me know!

AC doesn't work.

Transmission tends to jerk the car.

General Comments:

This car is only for someone who can handle it's quirkiness, unless you want to drive a car when IT wants to be driven, you should look at another car. It has an amazing amount of strange noises that it makes ranging from sounding like it's going to die to sounding like some sort of space ship. I am looking forward to the day when I have enough money to not drive this car.

Faults:

Automatic seat belt stopped working.

When driving more than 10 miles, car would stall and not restart.

Climate control module burned out.

Information center burned out.

Radio burned out.

Power mirrors & locks stopped working.

Brakes & rotors a problem since day 1.

Engine has burned oil since new.

Transmission forgets how to shift properly.

Heater core erupted.

Car has overheated at least every 2 weeks since new.

Plastic ball joints wear out every 20,000 miles.

Wheel bearings last no longer than the ball joints.

Strut bearing plates a constant problem.

PVC system clogs very easily.

Water pump is a very weak link in this engine.

And the list continues... I must stop now or you nice people will be reading something almost as long as "War & Peace"

General Comments:

All I can say,is that it was a nightmare right from the Dealership, and the junk man will not even take it for free, and it is still running (the best it can)

Faults:

The speedometer and odometer doesn't work.

The front suspension needs work.

The engine performance seems lackluster, but I suspect that the injectors need to be cleaned or replaced. At higher speeds the engine seems to wanna take off like a rocket.

The high beams don't work.

General Comments:

Well, I've only had the car for two days, but on the day I purchased it (for $750 Canadian) I drove it 200 kilometers and it ran like a charm. I just hope that it keeps running that way for years to come.

The interior is great, but I don't like the signal lever, as it has a 'paddle-like' feel.

Faults:

Within to months of having it the air conditioning broke.

The Automatic seat belt on the passenger side stopped in the down position.

Windows where unusually slow and one stopped all together.

General Comments:

Wonderful car, easily worked on and repaired.

The ride is incredible compared to my Bonneville SSE with enhanced ride package.

Seats are supportive and comfortable for long trips.

I love the location of the air conditioning right next to the steering wheel.

Exterior is easily maintained due to square design and flat paint.
