Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On oct. 31, 2003 i purchased a 1995 chrysler concorde. within 6 months i had to replace the steering bushings. on jan 26, 2005 i was driving with my family on interstate 40, when i noticed alot of play in the steering and some veering off to the left. i immediately got off the highway almost side swiping a semi as a result of the loose steering and veering. i made it 3 miles before the steering went out completely with my tires facing opposite directions. the chrysler dealer where i purchased this certified pre-owned car has estimated the cost of repair to my rack and pinion to be over $2,000. this is not the first of the chrysler 1993-1999 lh steering problems! i was lucky as was my wife, 4year old son and 9 month old baby!! if i had not noticed the change in my steering, i and my family would have been injured at the very least. please do not discount this very dangerous and repeating problem because noone has died yet. is that really a chance we should be taking?*ak
