What owners wrote
I have had numerous problems with my 2003 dodge grand caravan, but my steering is unsafe. After over 5 attempts to correct the steering problem, and 2 near accidents, I feel chrysler has done nothing to address my concerns. If I wait until I do get into an accident before they take my concerns seriously, it will be to late.
About six months ago, my wife's van has been making a whining sound from the steering pump. The noise intensifies once the steering wheel is being turned. I was told that the steering pump may have to be replaced. Eventhough this van is 6 years old, it was in storage for 3 years. The car was operated once a month in storage. This shouldn't be happening.
