VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
OUR VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHILE IN MOTION. THIS IS UNSAFE, AND COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, SINCE WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AFTER THE VEHICLE STALLS. SOMETIMES THE RPMS DROP DOWN TO NEAR ZERO AND THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON BEFORE IT STALLS. OCCASIONALLY THE VEHICLE DOES NOT COMPLETELY STALL, AND THE ENGINE RECOVERS, RESULTING IN A STRONG JERK. ALSO OCCASIONALLY THE CAR JUST JERKS NOTICEABLY TO STRONGLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOTICEABLY FOR A FEW MONTHS, AND WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS REPAIRS TO OUR VEHICLE THAT HAVE (POTENTIALLY FALSELY) BEEN DIAGNOSED. NONE OF THESE REPAIRS HAVE SEEMED TO AFFECT THE STALLING AND JERKING PROBLEMS. THE DATE GIVEN IS THE DATE OF OUR MOST SERIOUS STALLING EVENTS. IT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES THAT DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *NM

STEERING
THE TIE-RODS IN MY 1994 CHRYSLER CONCORDE HAVE FAILED REPEATEDLY SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, CAUSING EXCESSIVE VIBRATIONS AS WELL AS DEPLETED STEERING ABILITY. ADDITIONALLY MY STEERING WHEEL IS APPROX. 45 DEGREES OFFSET FROM CENTER. MY DEALER REPLACED MY TIE-RODS AT APPROX. 150,000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY PURCHASED WITH MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS AT 173,680 MILES NOW AND THE TIE-RODS ARE ONCE AGAIN IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. I AM CONCERNED THESE PARTS ARE DEFFECTIVE DUE TO EXCESSIVE FORCE PUT ON THEM BECAUSE OF A SEVERE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING COLUMN. IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN SIX MONTHS SINCE THE TIE RODS WERE LAST REPLACED, AND EVEN AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED THE LAST TIME MY DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO RETURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE CENTER POSITION FOR FORWARD TRAVEL.
