STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS
PURCHASE VEHICLE ON OCT 16 OR 17. CAR WAS RUNNING FINE . WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT IT WAS LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID. ON NOV 18, SUNDAY. 2007 I WENT TO CHURCH AND ABOUT 15 MINUTES AFTER PARKING MY CAR, THE CHURCH MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THERE WAS A VEHICLE ON FIRE, AND GAVE MY PLATE(TAG) NUMBER. WHEN I WENT OUTSIDE THE FIREFIGHTERS WERE PUTTING AN UNDERHOOD FIRE IN MY CAR. IF THE FIRE WOULD HAVE STARTED MINUTES BEFORE ME AND MY TWO DAUGHTERS COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD SAID TO ME THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS A TECHNICAL PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WHICH PROMPTED ME TO RESEARCH IF IT HAD BEEN A RECALL. IN DOING RESEARCH, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE 2000 PLYMOUTH BREEZE. THE RECALL # IS E23 HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THAT THEY ONLY SERVICE VEHICLES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN DAMAGED. THE PERSON I SPOKE TO WAS GARY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT BOB WILLIAMS DODGE DEALERSHIP IN ROME, GA 30161 (706-232-7793). I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT HAVING MY VEHICLE INSPECTED TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE LIABLE FOR THE FIRE. HE TOLD ME I HAD TO GET A LAWYER AND HAVE THE COURTS DETERMINE THAT. PLEASE ADVICE AS TO HOW TO GO ABOUT RESOLVING MY ISSUE. *TR
