Consumer Description

STEERING RACK RAPIDLY DEGRADED AND "WAS ABOUT TO FALL OUT OF CAR". SEEMS LIKE DODGE MINI-VANS HAVE LOT SOF PROBLEMS WITH THIS. I HAD THIS HAPPENING MY OLD VAN TWICE BUT IT WAS A SLOWER PROGRESSIVE PROBLEM . MY NEW VAN STARTED TO MAKE SOME NOISES ON OCCASION. SHOPS CHECKED IT OUT BUT COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS.... I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT... OVER COURSE OF ONE WEEK NOISE INCREASED A BIT AND BROUGHT BACK IN... SHOP'S WORDS " STEERING RACK WAS ABOUT TO FALL OUT".. MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT AS ATTUNE TO NOISES AND SENSATIONS AS I AM. I COULD EASILY SEE SOMEONE ELSE DRIVING WITHOUT DETECTING THIS PROBLEM HAVING A SERIOUS STEERING FAILURE. *TR
