| 2001 | STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY | MY SISTER'S 2001 CHRYSLER 300 M EXPERIENCED SUDDEN STEERING FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. FORTUNATELY SHE WAS TRAVELLING AT LOW SPEED, SO NO ONE WAS KILLED. SHE DESCRIBED THE FEELING AT FAILURE AS A LOUD NOISE FOLLOWED BY THE SENSATION OF SLIDING ON ICE. IT WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THEY FOUND THAT THE THREADED HOLES ON THE STEERING RACK THAT THE INNER TIE RODS CONNECT TO WERE BOTH STRIPPED OUT AND THAT THE BOLTS HAD FALLEN OUT, RESULTING IN COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE LARGE CHRYSLER VEHICLES, AND PUTS A LOT OF PEOPLE AT RISK OF DEATH. PLEASE FORCE CHRYSLER TO RECALL THESE CARS AND TO INSTALL A REDESIGNED STEERING RACK AND TIE RODS THAT ARE NOT GOING TO KILL PEOPLE. *TR |
