Starting over 1 year ago, my car has pulled to the right at all times and more drastically at higher speeds. The steering wheel also starts vibrating and shaking when over 55 MPH. This car has been to the dealership at least 10 times for alignments, new struts, new tie rods, new tires, and several other fixes. None of these repairs have fixed the problem, and some of these actually made it worse. I no longer feel safe driving this car and fear crashing due to the extreme pull to the right. I just picked it up from the dealership after they adjusted the cambers and aligned it to pull to the left to compensate the right pull, which did not fix the problem.

Chunking and snapping problem in the steering gear box or tie rod ends. I've had it to the chrysler dealer on aug. 16th. 2015 and they couldn't fine it. But when I went on the web there I found hundreds on complaints. I had a live chat with the and this problem was even on the 2011 chrysler 200.

From almost the beginning of owning this car it has made a noise in the left front driver's side. The steering wheel feels lose, like it could come apart. I had brake issues also. The dealer was able to find the brake noise, but not the noise in the left front driver's side. They say there is nothing they can detect. Yet, my car continues to make this noise. Now, I'm not a mechanic, but my car should not be making a noise if everything is alright. Checked on youtube and many people with chrysler 200's, 2013's are having the same problem. They say their mechanics either cannot find the problem, or it's 1. Steering column 2. Outer tie rod end or sway bar end links 3. Ball joints 4. Bushings can be worn on control arms of sway bar or 4. Tie rod. My dealer cannot find any of that wrong with my car, yet, I believe it is one of these problems. My car was purchased at moore, chrysler, jeep, subaru, at 8700 w. Bell, road in glendale, arizona. I am a single lady, living on social security disability. My dad bought this car for me. I cannot afford to have all these problems fixed if the warranty runs out, and the dealer lets it. I need them to take responsibility and fix my car.

I am having an issue with my chrysler 200, I have 39540 miles on this vehicle, and my problem started on 11/11/14. As I was driving I could hear and feel a popping in my steering column. I was driving at 5 MPH when I noticed it, I pulled over to check tires. It is really noticeable when making turns verses just driving straight. My son took it to dealership, and upon inspection, they informed me that the tie rods and rack and pinion are worn and have a lot of play. I purchased this vehicle new in july 2013 and should not be having a serious issues with steering mechanism, which they say is not covered under warranty.

Vehicle has noise at steering assy. When driving .you could also feel it. Took it to chrysler dealer and it was determined to be tie rods. How can a vehicle with only 6500 miles on it have bad tie-rods? They just don't make them like they use to.
