Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Problems with my dodge intrepid: at 75000 miles i had to replace the rack and pinion steering, then i had problems with the bolts that connect the rack and pinion to the steering backing out and it actually fell out and one wheel was strait and the other was turned. luckilly i was at a stop sign getting ready turn .had to have towed home. found out thousands of people are having same problem. at 80000 miles which has been a couple of weeks ago driving down the road car automatically shift into low one. does this a couple of times. had new filter and fluid replaced. even worse now. find out that thousands of people having same problem. find out that dodge and chrysler lh with 42le automatic trans are defective. they have used these trans from 1994 to present and they fail. i could believe it. chrysler even has its own special tranny fluid to help prevent failure problems but it doesnt work. i would like chrysler to be accountable for selling moreless junk. if i were to sell a defective product to consumers, they would come after me to either recall it ,fix it ,or re-emburse the consumers, yet nothing is being done that i know of to get chrysler to help the consumer fix their failing transmission problems. i am now going to spend $1500.00 to replace my tranns with another one that will fail in the near future. i cant afford another car, and i will never ever buy another chrysler product. can you tell me if anyone is adressing this issue. i got a lot of information from: http://www.daimlerchryslervehicleproblems.com/ i was interested in seing if any one else has had these problems and according to this web page and some of my own research their are thousands of us with problems with our chryslers.*ak
