What owners wrote

(1)during a routine home maintenance, I noticed there is a build up of soot on top of the intake assembly. Upon closer inspection, power steering reservoir was cracked and the fluid is near the low level. (2) power steering fluid at low level (3) part replaced at dealer, no I do not have the old part. I paid out of pocket as chrysler warranty does not cover parts deemed damaged by outside force.

Reported at 14,400 miles, September 2005

Last night - for the 4th time now - after filling the tank at the gas station, my car just died. The first 3 times it was when I stopped at the stop sign leaving the gas station parking lot. Last night, it was after I was out on the main road and in heavy traffic. It was stop and go rush hour traffic, so I was thankfully only going approx 15-20 miles an hour. Power steering was lost, brakes were practically non existent.
