Consumer Description

THIS A COMPLAINT IN REGARD TO AN ARTICLE I READ ABOUT A LAW SUIT WITH THE CHRYSLER COMPANY IN REGUARDS TO STEERING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR LH SERIES CARS. I OWN A 1999 CHRYSLER 300M AND FOR ABOUT THE LAST YEAR THERE HAS BEEN RATTLING NOISES BUT JUST NOISES THEN IN AUGUST OF 2002 I STARTED TO GET EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING. I STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL I COULD GET IT FIXED BUT IN FEB 2004 I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN MY PICK UP TRUCK SO I HAD TO START USING THE VEHICLE TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. I PUT 200 MILES A DAY ON IT. I HAVE JUST BOUGHT A USED STEERING RACK BECAUSE I HAVE DETERMINED THAT TO BE THE CAUSE, BUT AFTER READING ABOUT THE ARTICLE I DON'T THINK I SHOULD USE IT AND AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THERE IS REALLY NO SUITABLE REPLACEMENTS. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOT DRIVE A CAR I AM STILL PAYING ON BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE!!! I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES!!!*AK
