Consumer Description

OUR 1998 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVAN HAS HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING BELT FALLING OFF WHEN THE VEHICLES DRIVES THROUGH STANDING WATER (OR SNOW). WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO NUMEROUS MECHANICS AND A CHRYSLER DEALER IN AN EFFORT TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. EACH OF THEM (INCLUDING THE DEALER) HAS TOLD US THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON OTHER CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVANS, BUT THAT CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY RECOMMENDED FIX. WE CONSIDER THIS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH WE HAVE PUT-UP WITH FOR SEVERAL YEARS.*AK
