What owners wrote
Was going around a curb through a drive through window when steering locked up. Contacted dealership , and was able to take vehicle in for inspection. Was informed by mechanic that cause of steering lock up could not be found.
At about 51,000 miles my car began making loud squeaking noises from the front end every time you pass over a small bump in the road. It also developed major vibrations in the steering wheel and the brake pedal when the car was slowing up to stop. When I took the car to the chrylser dealer I was told that the inner tie rods were metal to metal and it also needed new rack and pinion steering. This amounts to nearly $1,000 expense on a car just a little more than one year from the time the warranty expired.
