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.
It?s been a long time since people in Japan?s Nissan boiler rooms attended with a design value luxury and sports bravado. But our car lease specials radar have picked up on what appears to be the new Nissan GT-R which has been first put into the idea car category almost ten years ago. So can it finally be released?
When you mix these artificial sea salts with regular water you should do several hours before you introduce it in your tank. a day is really a better time for you to wait. This allows water mixture to stabilize it while you re oxygenate it which has a small pump and air stone. That way the water is less harsh in the chemical reaction that can place when the salt and water are mixed together. You may think this is trivial, however it is not. Attention to detail is very imperative to using an aquarium that runs we, to one that is extremely vibrant plus super condition.
