STEERING:RACK AND PINION
I HAVE COMPLAINED OF A POPPING NOISE IN THE FRONT END WITHIN 18 MONTHS OF PURCHASE. THE DEALERS COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE POPPING NOISE. NOW WITH 60,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE RACK IS WHAT ALWAYS MADE THE POPPING NOISE DUE TO BAD SEALS IN IT. CHRYSLER CORPORATION OFFERED TO PAY 50%, BUT I FEEL THEY SHOULD PAY 100% DUE TO THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN EXISTING PROBLEM.

SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY @ APPRO 70 MPH, THE STEERING COLUMN STARTED TO SHIMMY, AND MY FRONT PASSANGER BLEW. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND LANDED IN THE MEDIAN IN APPROX 3 FEET OF WATER. HAD TO TOW THE CAR FOR 50 MILES, BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE "BEAD BROKE ON THE TIRE, DUE TO IMPROPER MOUNTING AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURING." THEN ALMOST IN THE SAME BREATH, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY FAULT, MY TIRE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER "ROAD HAZARD OR WEAR AND TEAR ON THE TIRE". I WAS THEN TOLD TO TURN IT INTO MY INSURANCE COMPANY, WHICH I DID, AFTER LOSING MY JOB FOR LACK OF TRANSPORTATION. I FILED A DEFECT COMPLAINT WITH GOODYEAR, AND CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER TOLD ME IT WAS UP TO GOODYEAR, WHO IN TURN DENIED MY CLAIM 3 HOURS LATER AFTER I FILED. MY INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED OUT THE VEHICLE, AND LEFT ME WITH A $400 BALANCE STILL TO PAY ON MY LOAN FOR THE CAR. I UNDERSTAND THAT IN 1997, BOTH MANUFACTURES INVOLVED WERE FORCED TO RECALL APPROX 40,000+ VEHICLES DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT PHYSICALLY HURT, THE AMOUNT OF STRESS BOTH FINANCIALY AND MENTALLY HAS BEEN ENORMOUS. PLEASE ADVISE ME ASAP OF WHAT I CAN DO. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P185/65R14 )
