1998 Dodge Stratus steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving at any speed and with no warning steering bolts are loose, and it is causing steering wheel to jump around, making it hard for consumer to steer vehicle. Dealer notified.
While turning power steering makes noise, and is hard to turn. Dealer was notified. Feel free to provide any further information.
We were told by dealer service associates that tie rods were part of normal wear and tear on vehicle. Both front and back, left and rod tie rods need to be replaced, and there is a clunking sound when steering wheel is turned.
While driving on highway vehicle started drifting from lane to lane. Took vehicle to dealer & mechanic checked it. Had noticed right tie rod had came loose. Had no problem with the left. Later, was backing out of parking space & vehicle completely stalled out. Vehicle towed home. Husband noticed left tie rod had came apart, causing wheels to face one another. Both tie rod ends were replaced.
Bolts that hold the steering rack and pinion gear together broke off.
While driving into a parking lot the rubber boot is too small that it won't slide over the coupling mechanism to keep something from getting into it. The factory issued floor mat got caught in the turn coupling, and driver couldn't turn the wheel. Avoided a near miss. Contacted dealer.
Floor mat started moving while making a turn. Steering locked because floor mat was jammed around the column due to steering column mechanism not being covered. Dealer contacted, and stated it was design of vehicle. Problem still exists. Provide further information.
Floor shift indicator does not shift properly. Indicator is located on dashboard & not showing what gear vehicle is located in. Also, steering wheel tilts where it obstructs the view of the indicator.
