2005 Chrysler Town and Country: pulls to one side

Filed Nov 18, 2008 · Steering · 40,000 miles · NV

My vehicle began making a slight whirring or grinding noise in june 2008. I noticed that it felt like the car was pulling to one side and it seemed difficult to steer. I took it into the dealership thinking it might have something to do with just having our tires balanced. They said the rack and pinion steering needed to be replaced. At that time we had about 40,000 miles on the car, and feel that is way too early for such a replacement. This 2005 chrysler town and country has had nothing but problems! (right sliding door, seat belt, gas gauge, air bag sensor, electrical problems.)

Tl*- the contact stated that every time he drove the 2005 chrysler town & country with 15000 failure mileage and accelerated the vehicle pulled to the right. The vehicle had been taken to a dealer, and at first they were unsure of the cause of the failure, and then they thought it might have been a broken motor mount. The current mileage was 46,910.

Tl*- the contact owns a 2005 chrysler town and country. While driving 20 MPH or more and accelerating the steering pulled to the right. The faster the vehicle was driven the more it moved to the right. The vehicle had an alignment, the tires rotated and replaced and the failure recurred. Five dealers stated after diagnosing the vehicle that the transmission caused the failure to occur. At the time of purchase the sales person astated that the vehicle only needed an alignment. The contact stated that the failure was directly related to the federal safety agency recall 03v240000. The failure mileage was unavailable. Current mileage was 47,000.

Steering made a clunking noise and pulled to the right. Had vehicle checked three times while under warranty and was told the alignment was the issue. Aligned and tires balanced each time, but problem continued. Took car in with a copy of the federal safety agency bulletin and they replaced rack & pinion at my cost. Vehicle steering is now tight and pulling to right is gone. I don't feel I should have had to pay for this repair.
