I BOUGHT MY 2000 DODGE INTREPID FROM IDEAL AUTO EXCHANGE. IN A FEW DAYS I HEARD SOME KNOCKING ON TURNS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHO STATES THAT RACK AND PINION HAS A PROBLEM , AND MUST BE REPLACED. I HAVE A WARRANTY WITH DEALER UNDER "LEMON" LAW TO REPLACE RACK AND PINION. HOWEVER, DEALER STATES THAT AFTER CAREFUL CHECK ON THE VEHICLE THEY CAN'T SEE ANY PROBLEMS, AND EXTERNAL KNOCKING SOUND ON TURNS IS NORMAL. AFTERWARDS THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE PART. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT SHOULD I DO.*AK
