Consumer Description

WHILE MY WIFE WAS PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY SHE DROVE THRU A SMALL PUDDLE AND THE WATER SPLASHED UP ON THE IDLER PULLEY AND CAUSED THE BELT TO SLIP. THIS IN TURN CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER STEERING. SHE ENDED UP IN THE YARD INSTEAD OF THE DRIVEWAY. I HAVE BEEN IN QUALITY SINCE 1985 AND I AM CURRENTLY A QUALITY MANAGER SO I AM REALLY SURPRISED WITH CHRYSLERS' LACK OF CONCERN WITH THIS DESIGN PROBLEM. I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHRYSLER AND THE NHTSA FOR NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. MAYBE IT IS TIME TO LET SOME OF THE NATIONAL INVESTIGATIVE TV SHOWS KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *TR
