A YEAR AGO I HAD TO REPLACED ONE TIE ROD END FOR TO MUCH PLAY AND THIS YEAR WHEN CHECKING FOR INSPECTION WE FOUND THAT ANOTHER TWO HAVE TOO MUCH PLAY AND MUST BE REPLACED. TALKING TO THE GARAGE AND PART STORES THEY SAY THAT THIS STYLE OR MODEL OF CARS ARE GOING THOUGH THESE ITEMS. IF ONE OF THESE ITEMS LETS TOTAL GO THEN A PERSON COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. LUCKILY WE HAD FOUND MY PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY BROKE LOSE. I AM GOING TO REPLACE THE 3 THAT HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED. NLM

I PURCHASED MY CAR AS A NEW VEHICLE ON AUGUST 14, 1994. ON JULY 24, 1997, WHEN THE MILEAGE ON MY INTREPID WAS 60,715, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. ON FEBRUARY 12, 1999, WHEN THE CAR HAD 95,964 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION WAS AGAIN REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT THERE SEEMED TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER TRANSMISSIONS. THIS TIME, A COOLER WAS ADDED TO THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM IN AN EFFORT TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER TRANSMISSION FAILURES. THE COSTS OF THESE REPAIRS WERE $1,483.11 AND $1,430.88 RESPECTIVELY. THE TOTAL FOR BOTH IS $2,913.99.*AK
