| Description of the problem | Noticed clunking sound in front of 2005 dodge grand caravan with a whining sound. Contacted chrysler reference # 15812736 after finding issue with power steering rack and sway bar. I believe this to be a manufacturer defect that could result in fatality due to steering defect. Dealer repaired defect at my cost. Total repair cost was $1394. 43. The loss of my peace of mind was priceless. *jb |
