CHRYSLER STEERING LINKAGE Complaints

CHRYSLER PACIFICA ENGINE MOUNTS FAILURE AND NO REPLACEMENTS AVAILABLE. ENGINE MOUNTS HAVE FAILED 3 TIMES IN 120,000 MILES, BUT NOW THEY CAN'T BE REPLACED. NO AFTERMARKETS AVAILABLE AND CHRYSLER IS ON A "4 MONTH NATIONAL BACKORDER". MY MECHANIC CONFIRMS A DESIGN FAILURE, BUT NO ALTERNATIVES. EVERY PACIFICA HE KNOWS HAS AN ENGINE MOUNT FAILURE WITH NO OPTIONS FOR REPAIR. *TR

MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A WEEK TO HAVE MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY REPAIR BECAUSE IT IS 1/4 TANK OFF AND THE CAR RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE IN THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT IS STILL SHOWING A 1/4 TANK LEFT .THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPEN YESTERDAY 3/21/09 . THE CAR JUST STOP WHILE CRUISING AND THE FUEL GAGE STILL SHOW A 1/4 TANK LEFT. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND LUCKILY II DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND LOOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR WHEN IT RUN OUT ODF GAS. *TR

THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAS FAILED 4 TIMES. THE VEHICLE IS NOW 21 MONTHS OLD WITH 19,000 MILES. THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD AS I WAS IN PHILADELPHIA TWICE WHEN IT FAILED ON A WEEKEND AND HAD TO TRAVEL OVER 100 MILES TO GET THE JEEP HOME. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET HURT OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IF THIS HAPPENED TO A WOMEN I HATE TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN SINCE IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. *TR

BAD CRADLE BUSHINGS GRINDING NOISE WHEN DRIVING,TURNING,AND BREAKING LOUD BANG WHEN OVERDRIVE IS INITIATED AND VERY BAD ALIGNMENT FRONT DRIVER TIRE STARTED SMOKING AND THE BRAKE ROTOR WAS HOT ENOUGH TO BURN FLAT SPOTS ON MY FINGER TIPS. *TR

IN JULY OF 2008 I EXPERIENCED WHAT JEEP OWNERS ARE CALLING "THE DEATH WOBBLE" IN MY 2007 WRANGLER. WHILE PASSING A CAR I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND MY WHOLE FRONT END OF MY JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE JEEP WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER(COVERED UNDER WARRANTY). ON FEB 9TH 2009 WHILE DRIVING SOUTH ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 TO 70 MPH I AGAIN HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF GEAR AND CAME TO A SLOW STOP. THEN I NOTICED A STATE TROOPER BEHIND ME. WHEN I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET TO THE SHOULDER HE EXITED HIS VEHICLE AND APPROACH MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND ASKED IF I WAS OK AND STATED THAT HE NEVER HAD SEEN A VEHICLE EVER ACT LIKE THAT, THAT HE THOUGHT THE WHEELS WERE GOING TO FALL OFF. THE TROOPER COULD SEE THAT I WAS VISIBLY SHAKING AND SCARED. I DECLINED TO MAKE A REPORT WHICH I REGRET DOING. AT 65-70MPH I COULD NOT CONTROL MY VEHICLE. I CALL THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED AND APPOINTMENT FOR MY JEEP ON FEB 18TH 2009 AS THAT WAS THE EARLIEST TIME THEY COULD GET ME IN. THE DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPER AGAIN. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ JUST ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE THIS IS A PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER CORP DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT..DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE THIS AUTO CORP. REALIZES THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!!!! *TR
