DT: OWNER COMPLAINED ABOUT SEVERAL VEHICLE PROBLEMS. . ON ALL FOUR WINDOWS THE REGULATOR HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED MORE THAN ONCE. DRIVER'S SIDE HAVING TO BE REPLACED THE MOST. ALSO, LOWER BALL JOINTS / LEFT UPPER BALL JOINT, AND STEERING COLUMN HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR TIME. CURRENTLY THE UPPER RIGHT BALL JOINT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THESE HAS BEEN ONGOING ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE CONSUMER OWNED IT. CONSUMER DEALT WITH DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER, BUT CHRYSLER REFUSED TO HELP SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL. CHRYSLER WAS VERY RUDE AND HUNG UP ON THE CONSUMER. *AK

THERE ARE POPPING AND CLICKING SOUNDS COMING FROM MY STEERING COLUMN AND THERE IS TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE STEERING. I BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WITH ONLY 55,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE CHRYSLER SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN. THE STEERING SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE PROBLEMS WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. THERE IS NO PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AVAILABLE FOR STEERING SO I DON'T SEE HOW THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. I WILL CONTINUE TO PRESSURE CHRYSLER TO DO THE RIGHT THING, WHICH IS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THE DEFECTIVE PARTS ON THE VEHICLES THEY'VE SOLD.*AK
