1999 Chrysler LHS Complaints

ME AND MY WIFE HAVE A 1999 CHRYSLER LHS WITH SOME SERIOUS STEERING ISSUES!!! I WAS TOLD TO NOTIFY YOU DO TO THE EXTENSIVE REPORTS OF PRIOR LH SERIES STEERING ISSUES. WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR ONE YEAR, IT HAS 91,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN YOU TURN TO THE LEFT PAST CENTER THE STEERING ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPS WORKING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO DRIVE IT FOR $45, WHICH IS A JOKE CONSIDERING YOU COULD BARELY TURN IT LEFT JUST SITTING THERE. WE WENT AHEAD AND LET THEM AND THEY INFORMED US THE STEERING RACK WAS FAILING, AND IT WOULD COST $1200 TO FIX. THE STEERING IS ALMOST COMPLETELY USELESS NOW, UNLESS I'M DRIVING IN THE INDY 500. I HAVE ORDERED A STEERING RACK AND WILL INSTALL IT MYSELF FOR $275. THE BAD STEERING RACK IS STILL IN THE CAR NOW. *TR

1999 CHRYSLER LHS IS A DEATH TRAP. AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A NOISE. IT WAS TIME FOR OIL CHANGE ALSO, SO I TOOK IT TO GOODYEAR FOR SERVICE. THE TECHNICIAN CALL ME BACK 15 MINUTES LATER TO TELL ME MY CAR WAS UNSAFE AND HE COULDN'T DO AN OIL CHANGE. HE EXPLAINED MY CAR WAS DANGEROUS. MY INNER TIE RODS WERE BROKEN AND CAN CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT, MY POWER STEERING WAS GONE, AND HE ADVISE ME TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO A DEALER FOR TRADE IN. WELL I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER TECHNICIAN FOR A SECOND OPINION AND MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP EVERY SINCE. I HAVE HAD INNER AND OUTER TIE RODS REPLACED, POWER STEERING PUMP, RACK AND PINION, AND AN ALIGNMENT. MY CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED AFTER A LARGE REPAIR BILL. *TR

RACK AND PINION AND OUTER TIE ROD FAILURE ON MY 1999 CHRYSLER LHS. I PURCHASED THE CAR APPROX 30 MONTHS AGO AND IT ONLY HAD 3000 MILES OR 5400 KILOMETERS. THE STEERING FAILED ON AUGUST 10 2008. I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THE STEERING FROZE AND I COULD NOT WITH ALL OF MY STRENGTH TURN THE WHEELS TO THE LEFT.....WHEN IT FAILED, THE CAR ONLY HAD 34,544 KILOMETERS AND NOW HAS 35000. I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED AT A LOCAL GARAGE AT THE APPROX. COST OF 1400.00 DOLLARS. SEEMS TO ME THAT THE CAR HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE AND I HAVE BEEN DOING ALOT OF READING ABOUT THIS AND THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY QUALIFY AS A RECALL ITEM. WHAT I REALLY THINK IS THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT TO REPAIR AND REPAY ALL OF THE CONSUMERS THAT HAVE ALREADY HAD THEIR VEHICLE REPAIRED. ALSO I WOULD LIKE THEM TO MAKE SOME SERIOUS CHANGES TO THE STEERING SYSTEM WHICH IN MY EYES IS A VERY DANGEROUS SYSTEM AND IS PRONE TO FAILURE THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. NOW THAT IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED, I STILL FIND SOME CLUN...
