1997 eagle talon tsi fwd (identical to mitsubishi eclipse gs-t of the same year) has a problem with failing crankshaft bearings,causing the crank to be able to move around. It is physically movable by hand left and right and up and down instead of being stationary. Car is not safe to drive, as this "walking crank" could crack the short block at any time rendering the car immobile. Mitsubishi/chrysler refuses to recognize this as a defect and will not fix it under any circumstances. This is a defect in about half of their 95-99 eclipse/talons with the 2.0l dock turbo engine, and they refuse to even acknowledge it exists. These cars are not safe to drive and mitsubishi has and refuses to do anything about it.
Vehicle has been in the shop three times for engine problems, continues to stall and will not start. Dealer contacted and still investigating the problem.
Head gasket and valves failed. *et
The failure was the crankshaft that had considerable fron end play. This condition is also known as "crank walk" and is relatively common amongst eclipses and talons.
Consumer stated check engine light was on.
The turbo engine belt failed. *et
Problems caused by a hose that connects to the turbo, causing oil pressure to lower and fluid to leak on the block.

Second time failure of the cd player happened, first time march 1998 second time may 1999, service bulliton is available on problem, but i have concerns about this after my warranty goes out.
There is a safety recall for the transfer case. I have all the symptoms transfer case failure. There is oil leaking and the transfer case locks up, making it impossible to drive the car, the wheels will not budge. I have talked to two dealerships. Neither will honor the recall because it has been performed before. I have talked to chrysler and they will not allow the recall to be performed. The person i spoke to said it could not be done because it is not a faulty part.even though what is wrong with the car is exactly what is stated in the recall. This is a safety recall. If the transfer case would have locked up when i was going at a high rate of speed, it could become a very serious medical emergency and even cause a totaled car. I am not sure what was replaced when the recall was performed before, but the symptoms of the car make it seem like it was not done correctly before.
