In january, my 6-year-old intrepid (with only 26,000 miles) began lurching when I braked. The dealer initially thought it was the brakes, but then said it was worn seals and gaskets in the transmission. I was told the work would cost $1400. When I complained, the work was done for $700 because of the low mileage. I then received the transmission recall notice, but was told that this was for different work. When I had the car in today and the tires were rotated, I was told that there was a safety problem with the steering - that parts were cracked and worn and had to be replaced. This would cost $600. I had a newspaper clipping from nov. 1999 that described steering problems in my model car and the federal safety agency investigation. When I read it to the service advisor, he said that was the problem. I asked why I had to pay for a repair when chrysler knew there was a safety issue, and he said I had to be charged until there actually was a recall notice. I do not blame the dealer, but this is grossly unfair and irresponsible on the part of chrysler. I now will have spent more than $1200 on safety repairs on a car that has been driven very few miles. This is my first and last chrysler. Please do the steering recall soon so I can get my money back. Thanks.
