Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR FOR A WHILE AND ON THE DAY THIS HAPPENED I HAD RETURNED FROM WORK PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH NO PROBLEMS. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO GO BACK TO WORK I BACKED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED THE CAR HANDLED HARD. I STOPPED SHIFTED IT BACK INTO PARK AND THEN WENT BACK INTO DRIVE STILL THE STEERING WAS HARD TO TURN. OF COURSE THE WAS LATE FRIDAY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND SO I ENDED UP RENTING A CAR FOR 5 DAYS BECAUSE OF THE HOLIDAY AND THE FACT I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SO NO CHRYSLER CERTIFIED MECHANIC WAS ON DUTY TO WORK ON MY CAR.TUESDAY MORNING I GO OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD A BELT HAD SLIPPED AND THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION FOR WHY IT HAPPENED. I WASN'T CHARGED FOR THIS BUT IT COST ME A TOW AND 5 DAYS OF RENTAL FOR A CAR SO I COULD GET TO AND FROM WORK. WHEN I GOT ON THIS SITE I COULDN'T FIND ANY INFO SO I STILL AM NOT SURE IF THE CAR IS SAFE TO TAKE VERY FAR. *TR
