What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2005 dodge caravan. While driving 40 MPH, the steering wheel seized and caused the contact to crash into a guardrail. There were no injuries. The airs bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed by an independent towing company to a salvage lot where it was deemed destroyed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The cause of the failure was not determined. The failure mileage was 136,000.
The axial arm connecting the steering to the wheel is internally defective. It was completely broke at a starting point. The car could not been driven, because it jerks in the same place with no advances. If this ( axial broken) happens while driving the car would flip upside down.
