Owners have filed 42 complaints
about the 1997 Eagle Vision with NHTSA between 1998 and 2012.
The largest single group is the transmission & drivetrain.
Across this model's run it ranks 4 of 5 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 16
Against the median year of the Eagle Vision. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 100
21.4% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 50
29% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 1997 Eagle Vision
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

Recalls on the 1997 Eagle Vision
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 2004003277,416 units in Canada
Other
On certain vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission and a floor-mounted shifter, the ignition-park interlock may become defeated 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. This may result in the vehicle rolling away without warning. Correction: Dealer will inspect the function of the ignition-park interlock system. Vehicles found with functional interlock systems will have a load-limiting push rod installed into the floor shifter lever. Vehicles with a non-functional ignition-park interlock system will have the shifter assembly replaced.
Recall 199816758,470 units in Canada
Fuel System
NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.5 LITRE ENGINE. THE FUEL INJECTION DELIVERY SYSTEM MAY LEAK FUEL FROM SOME OF THE SEALING "O-RINGS" OR FROM HAIRLINE CRACKS IN THE THERMOPLASTIC FUEL INJECTION RAIL. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE SUCH A CONDITION COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. CORRECTION: THE NITRILE RUBBER "O-RINGS" WILL BE REPLACED WITH "O-RINGS" MADE OF AN IMPROVED MATERIAL. THE FUEL RAIL WILL ALSO BE EVALUATED AND REPLACED AS REQUIRED.

STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
SATURDAY MARCH 17TH AFTER DRIVING TO WORK, I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE. SUDDENLY, AS I WAS TURNING THE WHEEL, THE CAR BEGAN GOING STRAIGHT INSTEAD OF TURNING! LUCKELY, NO ONE WAS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME AND I MANAGED TO PUT ON THE BRAKES BEFORE I HIT SOMETHING. I FOUND THAT THE STEERING WHEEL NO LONGER WORKED! ADDITIONALLY, BOTH FRONT TIRES NOW MOVED COMPLETELY INDEPENDANT OF EACH OTHER (ONE WOULD STAY STRAIGHT WHILE THE OTHER COULD VEER TO THE RIGHT!!) THIS MADE EVEN GETTING THE CAR UP ON A TOW BED ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE (ONE PERSON ON EACH SIDE MANHANDLING THE WHEELS TO GET IT TO ROLL UP STRAIGHT!) UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND THAT BOTH THE BOLTS THAT CONNECT THE TIE-RODS TO THE STEERING RACK HAD SUDDENLY SHEERED OFF, LEAVING BOTH TIE-RODS LOOSE AND DANGLING!! PRIOR TO THIS, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY LOOSENESS OR SLOP IN THE STEERING, NOR DID I DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN ANY WAY THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED ANY UNUSUAL FORCE TO BE EXERTED ON THE FRONT WHEELS. I HAD JUST FINISHED DRIVING 50-55MPH ON THE 2-LANE OREGON COAST HWY, A SCENIC BUT DANGEROUS STRETCH OF ROAD. IF THE BOLTS HAD GIVEN OUT 10 MINUTES EARLIER, I WOULD SURELY HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT, OR MORE LIKELY KILLED! THIS MY CAR THAT I USE FOR WORK, AND WILL HAVE TO REPAIR IT, BUT HONESTLY...I'M REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT!!
