Chrysler corp. Recall for power seat adjuster in 2012 , took the vehicle in three times and never got this replaced as I was told there were no parts, you would have to get out of the vehicle to move the power seat,on my last visit to the dealership in january 2013 I found that the wheels kept trying to go their own way so I went for a wheel alinement the shop showed me that the steering rack was in fact cracked in half, don't know how that came about but I paid for the replacement but still never heard from them about the adjuster, I still own this vehicle and have replaced many parts but I'm still waiting for the power seat adjuster.

Attempting to drive the car steering "crunching" noise when steering left or right. Noise dissipates as vehicle warms up. Steering feels as though it wanders only for a second. P.s fluid changed no change.

Driver turned steering wheel to make a u-turn and vehicle kept going straight due to a bolt coming off tie rod. Dealer has to put sealant on nut to keep it from coming off.

With only 57,250 miles, and a well-cared for car, I think this failure is very premature & expensive to repair. I had a seven year service extension (70,000 miles) to no avail! No safety defect listed.

With the fuel leak we smelled a lite fuel oder at first when we started the car. The oder got stronger by the end of the month. We recived a recall notice shortly after . We took the car in for repair on 4/7/99 for the recall & bc the tires wobbled & shook the car at 30-45 MPH. They found the left inner tie rod brushinhs were worn & tire rod flopping- they replaced the tire rod 7 left toe specs. They also found the transmission oil leaking from the cooler hose.--on 11/22/99 I was reversing at 1 or 2 MPH from a parking space & then as I tried to put the car in forward there was a violent jerking ,& shaking but the car would not move anywhere at all. I got out to look & there was wheel berrings & thick grease all over the parking lot. My car was towed the next day to an auto mech shop & repars were done. Shortly after that we recived a recall notice for the problem that we had repaired. We are still trying to get reimbursed from chrysler corp. For that incident. And as of today 6/25/00 we are having problems again with the front wheel wobbling & shaking the car when driven at 30-45 MPH for about 3 or 4 weeks now. We are currently saving money to have that repaired again. We have had other problems with the car but did not include them on the investigation report bc they were not life threating---such as trunk opening on own while driving-it was fixed but trunk open light on dash panel comes on & off when trunk is closed. --the A/C leaked water on passenger floor & has a bad oder when put on. Almost like urine.

While traveling 55mph; steering was hard to control/ difficult to turn and very stiff. Rack & pinion was cause of problem. Also, vehicle not shifting into park. Transmission line leaked fluid. Coupling was causing a leak between rubber tubing which was inserted into metal tubing. In addition, fuel rail would also leak/ ABS brakes started to lock up when applied/ water pump was leaking water, and door strap needed to be replaced due to being opened & closing hard. Taking vehicle to dealer to correct major problems.
