Consumer Description

CONTINUOUSLY LEAKING POWER STEERING GEAR BOX. THIS IS THE 2ND REPLACEMENT IN LESS THAN 3500 MILES AND 3 MONTHS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNING, IT WILL SQUIRT POWER STEERING OUT OF THE ADJUSTMENT SCREW ON TOP OF THE GEARBOX. GOING 15-19 MPH, THE FRONT END BEGINS TO VIBRATE; I CAN FEEL IT IN STEERING WHEEL BUT DO TAKE NOTICE IN THE FRONT END SHAKING. NOT BAD NOW BUT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THE SOUND OF COINS CAN BE HEARD IN THE ASHTRAY/COINHOLDER. IS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON HERE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. DODGE DEALERSHIP ADVISES I NEED TO BUY A NEW STEERING GEAR BOX. HOW MANY DO YOU HAVE TO BUY? I AM GETTING READY TO BUY MY 3RD ONE IN 4 MONTHS!!!! DOES THIS HELP STEERING? DODGE WILL NOT EVEN LOOK AT THIS; I FEEL ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS SELL PARTS. *TR
