Consumer Description

MY 200O DODGE INTREPID HAS 61,000 MILES ON IT. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING AT ABOUT 58,000. WHENEVER I MADE A TURN LEFT OR RIGHT MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK AND I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT. I WOULD SOMETIMES HAVE TO TURN IT FORCEFULLY AND IT WOULD MAKE A TERRIBLE CLUNKING AND GRINDING NOISE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THE WHEEL LOCKED UP AS I MADE A RIGHT TURN AND I WAS FORCED DOWN AN EMBANKMENT, FORTUNATELY I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR AND NO ONE WAS ON THE EMBANKMENT AS THEY USUALLY ARE. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO A DODGE DEALER AND THEY ARE REPAIRING IT FOR $1067.00. THEY SAID IT IS THE STEERING GEAR AND RACK. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. I FEE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AN SHOULD BE ON A RECALL STATUS. I WAS HOPING TO PURCHASE A 300 CHRYSLER NOW I'M NOT SURE IF I WANT TO STAY WITH THIS COMPANY. *NM
