Consumer Description

BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IN 2000 DODGE INTREPID ES WITH 140K MILES, THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING IN THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL. THE BOLT THAT SECURES THE TIE ROD TO THE RACK AND PINION HAD COMPLETELY PULLED OUT OF THE RACK AND PINION. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING, IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. RACK AND PINION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I DID NOT HAVE THE PART REPLACED, SO I STILL HAVE THE OLD PART. I HAVE PARKED THE CAR AND REFUSE TO DRIVE IT. *TR
