| Description of the problem | I just got off the highway. While i was parking the vehicle i heard popping noise under the hood and i completely lost steering. The bolts holding the inner rods and rack and pinion broke off. After some research i found out that this is very common problem for this line of chrysler vehicles. I called chrysler customer service. They claim that this is not their problem because the car is not under manufacture warranty.. |
