TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STARTED THE ENGINE AND HEARD A WHINING NOISE. IT THEN STOPPED AFTER THE VEHICLE WARMED UP. AFTER A MONTH OF EXPERIENCING THIS NOISE, SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS A GASKET IN THE RACK AND PINION STEERING. THE LEAKING RACKET WAS REPLACED AND THE ISSUE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BECAUSE IT IS A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE WITH LOW MILEAGE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 07/17/09 *BF THE RACK AND PINION WAS LEAKING AND EVENTUALLY REPLACED. UPDATED 07/17/09.*JB
