Description of the problem	The problem to my car happened while it was sitting in the garage. My 2002 sebring convertible has had a complete failure of the steering rack and tie rods at 28,000+ miles. The car is unsafe to drive. The dealer stated it was $1800. Repair. A call to chrysler service resulted in am offer to pay for the parts not the $1000. Labor charge. I called back to negotiate this offer. I was promised a call back which i received by voice mail asking me to return the call and stating that was there best offer. . When i attempted to return the call to the person who left the message i was hung up on twice. I am still trying to communicate with chrysler by phone so far after several hours i am still unsuccessful. After checking on the web i found many incidents of this kind reported by other sebring owners. Why hasn't there been a recall on this obvious defect that could be life threating? This is a lightly driven car and should not have suffered this type of dangerous failure. *jb
