Consumer Description

I AM ON MY THIRD RACK AND PINION FOR THE STEERING MECHANISMS FOR THE 2003 DODGE CARAVAN SPORT THAT WE OWN. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2005 WITH 28000 MILES WITHIN THE YEAR I REPLACED MY FIRST RACK AND PINION (2006). SINCE THEN I REPLACED ANOTHER ONE (2008) AND NOW AM HAVING TO REPLACE ANOTHER. I CAN'T AFFORD THIS AND AM HAVING TO CONTINUOUSLY DRIVE A CAR WITH DEFECTIVE STEERING. EVERY MECHANIC I CALL SAYS THAT THE DODGE VANS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR HORRIBLE RACK AND PINIONS AND THAT NO ONE WILL WARRANTY THAT PART. CAN YOU HELP ME? THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND CORRECTED NOT JUST ACCEPTED. *TR
