not mention my van) have had steering problems and those problems have caused many accidents and some deaths. The wandering and looseness and very slow to return continues plus an added problem noted when they returned the van, a screaming of the steering wheel. Checked the fluid and found it continuously leaks from day one of the vehicle returned to me. The vehicle was at their shop four times total. This dealership has adamantly refused to acknowledge the steering problem and denies the destruction of the roof assembly. I would like to know if your agency has any reports such as mine concerning the dodge steering problems and in particular the dealership of hemet chrysler in hemet california. I am seeking clear information relative to the steering of all chrysler/dodge products with emphasis on the vans used for motor homes in and since 1992, thank you. *Tr

minutes later. The outboard seat bolt had sheared off. The car , of course, was undriveable in that condition. My father was able to find a substitute bolt, installed it and I was able to go home. I intend to go to the dealer and get an original bolt. The screw holding the seat trim/seat release cover also sheared and I cannot put it back together so I can properly use my seat release handle. I have the sheared bolt pieces. *Nm
I was accelerating from a traffic light and the back of the drivers seat fell into the back seat. Luckily I had some diet pepsi on the floor and on the back seat because it was the only thing that stopped me from falling all the way back and possibly losing control of the vehicle. One of the two bolts holding the seat back to the recliner piece failed. I ordered a replacement bolt from dodge. I have the old bolt. *Nm
