Severe handling problem enormouse amout of play in steering

On oct. 31, 2003 I purchased a 1995 chrysler concorde. Within 6 months I had to replace the steering bushings. On jan 26, 2005 I was driving with my family on interstate 40, when I noticed alot of play in the steering and some veering off to the left. I immediately got off the highway almost side swiping a semi as a result of the loose steering and veering. I made it 3 miles before the steering went out completely with my tires facing opposite directions. The chrysler dealer where I purchased this certified pre-owned car has estimated the cost of repair to my rack and pinion to be over $2,000. This is not the first of the chrysler 1993-1999 lh steering problems! I was lucky as was my wife, 4year old son and 9 month old baby!! If I had not noticed the change in my steering, I and my family would have been injured at the very least. Please do not discount this very dangerous and repeating problem because noone has died yet. Is that really a chance we should be taking?
