| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 dodge grand caravan.... In january 2010, i had a routine inspection of my car and was told the right inner tire rod was loose. When i took the car in on 2/24/10 for repair, i was then informed that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced as fluid was leading. My car has only a little over 62,000 miles on it. I noticed online that other owners have had problems with the rack and pinions on the dodge caravan, needing to be replaced at low mileage such as mine.... Some as low as 40,000. |
