Description of the problem | My 2006 dodge caravan was making a noise when turning so when i got home checked power steering fluid and it was low. When checked the next day it was low again. So had it checked out at a garage and it was leaking from the rack and pinion. So it now needs replaced. Only have 61,000 miles on the car and have noticed it seems to be a constant problem on theses cars. Called a dealership about a recall and was told there is none and there never will be one. Can't afford to replace parts just yet so ijust keep adding fluid till i can get work done. But am very disappointed with dodge knowing there is a problem with this and not seeming to care about it at all. |
