CHRYSLER STEERING LINKAGE Complaints

OWN A 2005 CHYRSLER TOWN & COUNTRY TOURING VAN, W/93K MILES. IN THE PAST 2 YEARS, THE POWER STEERING FAILS W/O WARNING WHEN THE VAN TRAVELS OVER WATER. THE DEALER THINKS IT'S A WEAK TENSION BAR ON A POWER BELT, BUT HE CAN'T BE CERTAIN. THE POWER STEERING LOSS LASTS ABOUT 15-30 SECONDS AND SEVERELY COMPROMISES MANEUVERABILITY AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO APPEARS TO SHORT OUT THE ALTERNATOR BECAUSE THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT GOES ON. IS THERE ANYTHING IN YOUR DATA BASE ABOUT THIS? I CAN FIND NO RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR OR MODEL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP ONCE I PRESSED ON THE GAS TO START AGAIN THE CAR WOULD MAKE A BUCKING MOVEMENT AND THEN PROCEED TO MOVE ON AS NORMAL. WELL ONE DAY CAR STARTED TO OVER HEAT AS OIL GAUGE RAISED, SO PULLED THE CAR OVER AND LET IT COOL DOWN. WENT TO LOCAL GAS STATION TO PICK UP COOLANT AND POURED IT IN AND THEN STARTED CAR TO SEE THAT IT WAS ALL GUSHING OUT THE FRONT END. COULD NOT DRIVE IT SO HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE FOR REPAIR. COME TO FIND OUT THAT A FRONT AND REAR MOTOR MOUNT HAD BROKEN CAUSING THE MOTOR TO SHIFT SLIGHTLY EVERY TIME I PRESSED THE GAS WITH THIS MOTOR SHIFTING IT WENT OVER ENOUGH TO LOOSEN AND UNDO THE RADIATOR HOSE WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO OVERHEAT. THE FRONT AND REAR MOTOR MOUNTS WERE REPLACED, BUT IT SEEMS THERE MAY BE MORE UNDERLYING ISSUES DUE TO THE MOTORS MOVEMENT. *TR

CHRYSLER 2005 GEAR SHIFT GETS STUCK IN PARK CAUSING YOU TO REPLACE GEAR SHIFT. HAVE REPLACED 3 GEARSHIFTS IN 6 YEARS. WATER GETS INSIDE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE PURCHASE OF A NEW TRANSMISSION ANYWHERE FROM 40,000 TO 95,000 MILES. *TR

YES I , HAVE A 2000 CHRYSLER SEBRING AND I BOUGHT IT WHEN IT HAD 20,000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES THAT CONCERN ME ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS SHORTS IN IT TO WHERE MOST OF THE TIME THE HORN AND OTHER STUFF DON'T WORK ON IT. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS ABOUT TO POP IT HAS CAME OUT ALOT AND AT ANY TIME THE AIRBAG CAN POP. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE WINDOWS HAVE BROKEN THREE TIMES. THEY FALL INTO THE DOOR AND CANNOT BE RAISED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE WINDOW IS STUCK IN THE FULL DOWN POSITION AND IS A GREAT RISK AS OBJECTS CAN FLY INTO THE CAR...AND GREAT RISKS WHEN PARKING OVERNIGHT AND THE WINDOW NOT BEING ABLE TO BE RAISED. THIS THE THIRD WINDOW BROKEN, WITH ONE BROKEN TWICE. THE WINDOWS GET FIXED AT A DEALERSHIP AT A COST OF $100 PER WINDOW AND REQUIRE ME TO MISS A HALF TO A FULL DAY OF WORK DEPENDING ON THE SERVICE REPAIR VOLUME. *TR

I OWN A 1998 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN AND FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FAN BELT COMING OFF USUALLY WHEN IT RAINS. MY MECHANIC PUTS IT BACK ON STATING THAT THE CHRYSLER BELTS SLIP OFF WHEN IT RAIN. I HAVE OWNED CHRYSLERS IN THE PAST BUT NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I USUALLY HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME AND VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS TAKING MY SON TO HAVE SOME BLOOD WORK DONE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTED STORMING AND THE VAN CUT OFF, BUT I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT OUT OF THE STREET. I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE SO SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE. *TR UPDATED 06/29/11*LJ
