THE RIGHT REAR SPRING HANGER WAS BROKEN UPON PURCHASE OF VEHICLE CAR LOT REFUSE TO HAVE IT FIXED SPRING IS SHOVED AGAINST FRAME WITH HANGER ALTERED TO AVOID IT PULLING OUT

THE POWER STEERING QUITS WORKING AT TIMES WHEN ITS RAINING. IT WILL NOT WORK MANY TIMES WHEN I CRANK IT UP IF ITS BEEN RAINING. ITS HAS STOPPED WORKING WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, CITY STREETS, WHILE TURNING ONTO ANOTHER STREET OR ROAD, AND AT STOP SIGNS. I HAVE HAD THE DRIVE BELT, POWER STEERING PUMP, TENSION IDLER REPLACED AND NOTHING HELPS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO JOHN GREENE CHRYSLER DODGE IN MORGANTON NC, AND OTHER REPAIR CENTERS. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

THE FUEL INJECTION WIRING HARNESS LENGTH IS APPARENTLY TOO LONG AND IT CAN DROP DOWN NEAR THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WHERE THE HEAT WILL MELT THE INSULATION ON THE WIRES CAUSING THEM TO SHORT TOGETHER CAUSING SEVERE MISFIRE AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE VEHICLE HAD RUN FINE A COUPLE OF DAYS PREVIOUSLY AND ON STARTING THE VEHICLE IT SEEMED TO IDLE A LITTLE ROUGH. DRIVING ON THE ROAD IT RAN VERY ROUGH AND WAS RANDOMLY MISFIRING ON MULTIPLE CYLINDERS. THE MIL LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF ON ACCELERATION. ON INVESTIGATION THE WIRES IN THE FUEL INJECTION WIRING HARNESS WERE FOUND TO BE MELTED AND SHORTING TOGETHER. I SUSPECT IN THE ENSUING TWO DAYS THAT THE TEMPERATURE CHANGES EXACERBATED THE PROBLEM AND TEMPERATURE CHANGE INDUCED MOVEMENT CAUSED THE WIRES TO SHORT TOGETHER. FROM RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM IT AFFECTS MANY VEHICLES. I'M SURPRISED THAT A RECALL HAS NOT YET BEEN ISSUED FOR IT.
