Consumer Description

AS OF 02/18/2005 I STARTED TO FEEL A SLIGHT BINDING IN THE STEERING WHEN TRYING TO RETURN WHEEL TO CENTER FROM A TURN. IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE I OCCASIONALLY HAD TO "WRESTLE" THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO THE CENTER POSITION. IT ALSO FEELS LOOSE, SUSPENSION RATTLES AND I'VE GOT 4 INCHES OF PLAY AT CENTER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED IT WOULD COST $1300 TO FIX. I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF FAILURE IN ALL OF THE YEARS I'VE OWNED CARS AND THINK THIS IS JUST A POOR DESIGN THAT CHRYSLER IS KEEPING MUTE ABOUT. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE BABYED IT EVER SINCE. IT HAS LESS THAT 60,000 MILES ON IT; I'VE OWN OTHER MANUFACTURERS THAT HAVE LASTED FOR A LOT LONGER. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A CAR THAT HAS BEEN AS WELL TAKEN CARE OF AS THIS. IIF CHRYSLER FAILS TO ACT ON THIS PROBLEM IT WILL BE THE LAST TIME THEY GET MY BUSINESS. *AK
