Description of the problem	I noticed what appeared to be an oil leak coming from the right front side of my undercarriage. I immediately scheduled an appointment with my mechanic, who informed me the rack and pinion in my 2006 dodge grand caravan needed replaced. When i asked him how common it is for a vehicle of the age mine is, with so few miles for cars today, he said it was becoming common and even showed me another dodge grand caravan on the rack for the exact same thing. I was told $873 to fix it. I then called the local dodge dealer who said they had not heard of any grand caravans having this kind of problem and that they could not help me. I immediately got on the internet where i have found website after website describing the same problem as mine and that the rack and pinion for my vehicle is on back order. This really seems like a real issue that dodge needs to address, rather than jab it to the consumer.
