Consumer states there were noises when turning and backing, mechanic stated the entire rack and pinion needed replaced and while trying to turn the shaft, it turned 1/2 turn and then completely froze up.
I purchased this vehicle in march of 2001. I have had nothing but trouble with it ever since. I have had electrical, air conditioning, and transmission problems which has resulted in approximately $2,600 in repairs in the year that I have owned it. I have contacted the crysler corp. And they did not help me in anyway. The car orignally had a 36,000 mile 3 year warranty on it. Now the crysler corp. Offers a 7 year 100,000 mile warranty on all their vehicles. This the first crysler product and the last one I will ever buy. I have previously owned gm products and currently own a 1997 ford f-150 pickup and I am very satisfied with it. Is there any help you can give me? I have all receipts for all repairs since I have owned the vehicle.
Airbag, horn and cruise control not functional due to clock spring
Rear passenger's side power window is dead and has failed. When electronic cooling fans for engine turn on automatically as they should during certain engine temperatures front headlights noticeably dim almost looking like they are being flashed for a second or what someone could interoperate as the driver flashing his lights. Headlights also seem to dim slightly when rolling down two windows at the same time. I purchased a professional battery and alternator tester has shown that the vehicles battery and alternator are working as normal. This makes me wonder about the vehicle's electrical system.

Car was 4 months old - driving down I-70 and had a blowout. The tire split clean in to. Was told that I must of hit a pot hole. On 9/13/99 I had taken the car into the dealership and told them the tire was losing air. They said they couldn't find a problem, aired up the tire and I left. Little over a month later I had a blow out. I did not hit a pot hole. The tire was defective. I had to replace the tire with my own money.*ak (tiresize: p205/70r15)
While driving excessive movements occur within steering wheel and column. Also, after vehicle is parked steering wheel does not lock up. *ak within first 2 months of ownership, engine light illuminated. Every hose and wire under the hood had tape on them, dealer stated that every vehicle came from the manufacturer like that. Consumer questioned why the steering wheel panel would not snap or stay in place, dealer could not answer that question.
On three separate occasions I've had the same problem. The first time I was driving with my brother and cousin when the car just started to shake and just stalled out I had know steering, or brakes. It was a very scary situation. The next time I was driving home from work it was only about 4 months from the first time this happened when I was making a turn and the car had no steerin or brakes I thank god there were no cars or someone could have gotten hurt . I had to drive the car into a bush to stop it. This time I was leaving the drive thru and the car fail me once again. No brakes ,steering or even the gas pedal worked. Please help me I don't have the funds to repair the car, personnally I don.t want this car I'm so afraid of driving it. I afraid for myself and the other people on the road. Does someone need to get hurt before someone just takes this car and dumb it. Like I said I'm very afraid to drive this car because the problem keeps coming back . Whether if my younger brother,, or mother was driving the car I did not experience the problem as I have in the past something seriouly could of happened to them. What would the company have done then. So please help me. Thank you in advance joe suarez.
