| Description of the problem | We bought almost three years ago 2006 dodge grand caravan. Right now it only has 47000 miles. Recently we noticed a leak and we took the car for service & we found out the power steering rack is broken and leaking oil. We thought it was covered by the warranty. But the dealer told us it wasn't covered by the warranty. They estimated the cost around $1300. We called chrysler and they failed to help us. After we did some search we found out so many dodge grand caravans getting end up breaking the power steering rack at early age. We believe chrysler need to recall this and fix the issue. It is not fair for us when our car has only 47,000 miles . |
