Consumer Description

ON OCT. 31, 2003 I PURCHASED A 1995 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. WITHIN 6 MONTHS I HAD TO REPLACE THE STEERING BUSHINGS. ON JAN 26, 2005 I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY ON INTERSTATE 40, WHEN I NOTICED ALOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING AND SOME VEERING OFF TO THE LEFT. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY ALMOST SIDE SWIPING A SEMI AS A RESULT OF THE LOOSE STEERING AND VEERING. I MADE IT 3 MILES BEFORE THE STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY WITH MY TIRES FACING OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. THE CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THIS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR HAS ESTIMATED THE COST OF REPAIR TO MY RACK AND PINION TO BE OVER $2,000. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OF THE CHRYSLER 1993-1999 LH STEERING PROBLEMS! I WAS LUCKY AS WAS MY WIFE, 4YEAR OLD SON AND 9 MONTH OLD BABY!! IF I HAD NOT NOTICED THE CHANGE IN MY STEERING, I AND MY FAMILY WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED AT THE VERY LEAST. PLEASE DO NOT DISCOUNT THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND REPEATING PROBLEM BECAUSE NOONE HAS DIED YET. IS THAT REALLY A CHANCE WE SHOULD BE TAKING?*AK
