| Description of the problem | Around 37,000 miles a whining noise started coming from the front on my 2006 dodge grand caravan. After just speaking to the dealership mechanic on the phone, he knew immediately what the problem was, the rack and pinion was leaking steering fluid. This issue has been common enough that the parts have been constantly on back order. After research online i have found many of the same complaint. How many complaints does it take? |
