| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 4 cyl 2006 dodge caravan on april 28th, 2006. on may 22nd the power steering failed completely while my wife and family were out shopping. there was a substantial leak of red fluid that had spayed the entire inside of the engine compartment. (afterwards i realized how fortunate we were that there wasn't a fire) we had it towed to the dealership and were told that a hose wasn't properly "torqued" at the factory and had come off the power steering pump. i voiced my concern that all the hoses, belts and wiring had been subjected to a solvent and that it needed to be cleaned up. no effort was made to remove or clean up the solvent. i had to insist and another service was scheduled. i am still not satisfied as the engine now chatters and chirps for the first 20 minutes or so when first started. what else was "left not properly torqued" at the factory? *nm |
