| 2000 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | HAVING JUST EXITED THE EXPRESSWAY, VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST BRAKING AND STEERING. UNABLE TO RESTART ENGINE, AND FACING AN UPHILL SLOPE, I WAS ABLE TO BACK MY CAR THROUGH FIVE LANES OF TRAFFIC TO SAFETY AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD THIS SPONTANEOUS AND CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OCCURED JUST ONE MILE EARLIER, I MOST LIKE WOULD NOT HAVE LIVED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE PERISHED DRIVING THIS CAR, AS A MORE THOROUGH INVESTIGATION OF FATALITIES IN THIS MODEL WILL PROVE. CHRYSLER DEALER WANTS $375 TO FIND CAUSE OF ENGINE FAILURE AND $7500 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THIS IS A 2.7 V6 WITH 58,000 MILES.*AK |
| 1997 | STEERING:RACK AND PINION | WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING AND THE TIRES LOCKED UP. THIS WAS CAUSEB BY RACK AND PINON FAILURE.*AK |
