Chrysler has been under investigation from the NHTSA for longer than 55,000 warranty claims for Steering issues with Dodge Intrepid, Chrysler Concord, 300M, LHS and Eagle Vision vehicles and 1,450 reports of steering control problems. Some including complete lack of steering control with 1993-1996 models, reported by 1999 alone. These statistics usually do not include 1997 and second generation models (1998-2004) and doesn't include LH vehicles that will happen to be introduced for warranty service, the place where a Chrysler dealer claimed to become 'unable to duplicate' a steering related problem. Furthermore, this report also doesn't include consumers who have experienced failures under 36,000 miles past the 3 year factory warranty period, (3 years/36,000 miles whichever comes first). We believe that Chrysler has actively concealed the defect from consumers while deliberately misleading the NHTSA regarding the defect inducing the NHTSA closing this defect investigation. Chrysler has experienced nea rly ten years to address and correct these common problems while Chrysler's patch attempts or attempts to put a 'band-aid' over this defective steering design didn't work. The fact is that premature steering rack and pinion failures continue despite having newer Intrepids, 300Ms, LHS' and Concordes (2000-2004). Over the years Chrysler has even issued internal Technical Service Bulletins to dealers that 'quietly' and 'delicately' address certain common Steering related problems. January 1, 1997 Chrysler implemented a running change improving the durability and heat tolerance of its inner tie rod bushings in make an effort to handle common steering problems. October 6, 2000 Chrysler also implemented a running change from the inner tie rod connecting bolts using a stronger bolt design, enabling higher torque specifications in another make an effort to deal with common steering problems. We feel that this is not nearly enough for which experts call a 'negligently designed and dangerous ly defective steering system'. We believe this design puts dan gerously high load forces on inner tie rod ends and connecting bolts when steering is turned understanding that the design with the steering system is just not fully works with the leading suspension system thereby causing or contributing to cause sudden, premature and unnecessary failure of the various assemblies and components. What we suspect will happen is that the connecting bolts tend to make brunt of those forces and either shear off or threads strip. As Chrysler tried to put a 'bandaid' over this challenge by helping the strength with the connecting bolts and increased the bolt torque specifications, we suspect by purchasing the improved bolt strength, and connecting strength, the forces then tends to get utilized in the rack and pinion assembly itself, which frequently prematurely goes away as a result of this design.
To own one of these vintages defines what you are, how we hang around and the way you wish to be known, and Cubans will go to incredible lengths to keep their classic cars running. 1950's bumpers and tailpipes are recreated and myriad the rest are adapted. Steering wheels carved from wood, hub cabs made from aluminum cans and plastic sheets for windows are typical. While such shortcuts could be frowned upon in the United States, classic car lovers admire the Cubans' ingenuity and their ability to maintain the cars running.
Car thieves tamper while using VIN number of a stolen vehicle to be able to sell its parts, license it within a new identity, or get the vehicle from the country. A VIN can be changed in several ways, but the most-commonly used methods include removing in the part in the car where the VIN is found and replacing it with a new part, grinding, or changing one or multiple numbers or letters of the VIN. That is why, when buying a used car, always look at the places where a VIN is generally located, to check out signs that indicate it has been tampered with.
