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.
Customer responsibilities begin the next a rental agreement is signed. Before you leave everyone, you need to make sure you have insurance policy through your insurer or from the rental company and make sure the limits are sufficient. You need to do a total inspection with the car and note any problems for your vehicle prior to taking your home behind the tire. The rental company could make note of your findings. You need to verify the mileage, gas gauge and oil levels. When you start the auto, you should make certain everything sounds and feels right and that everything like stereo and electric windows have been in working order. Again, the rental company will note any issues.
The first step to finding your GM part or GM accessory is to discover if there is a dealer in your region with all the product you desire. If you’re struggling to find a dealer, it’s time for you to take a seat in a computer and open Google. Search for the nearest GM dealer with your area. Your next step would be to shoot an e-mail enquiring regarding the availability of the GM part or accessory, if those things could be brought to your doorstep.
