1999 Chrysler Lhs is a death trap. After driving on the highway, I heard a noise. It was time for oil change also, so I took it to Goodyear for service. The technician call me back 15 minutes later to tell me my car was unsafe and he couldn't do an oil change. He explained my car was dangerous. My inner tie rods were broken and can cause a deadly accident, my power steering was gone, and he advise me to have my car towed to a dealer for trade in. Well I took it to another technician for a second opinion and my car has been in the shop every since. I have had inner and outer tie rods replaced, power steering pump, rack and pinion, and an alignment. My car is still not fixed after a large repair bill.
Rack and pinion and outer tie rod failure on my 1999 Chrysler Lhs. I purchased the car approx 30 months ago and it only had 3000 miles or 5400 kilometers. The steering failed on August 10 2008. I was pulling out of the driveway and the steering froze and I could not with all of my strength turn the wheels to the left.....when it failed, the car only had 34,544 kilometers and now has 35000. I have had it repaired at a local garage at the approx. Cost of $1400 dollars. Seems to me that the car has very low mileage and I have been doing alot of reading about this and this should definitely qualify as a recall item. What I really think is that Chrysler should make every attempt to repair and repay all of the consumers that have already had their vehicle repaired. Also I would like them to make some serious changes to the steering system which in my eyes is a very dangerous system and is prone to failure that can cause serious injury. Now that it has been repaired, I still find some clunking noises and the steering is very stiff when you first begin driving...I also had to replace the outer tie rods because they were very noisy and unsafe and that was done approx 30 days before the steering rack was replaced....if I can assist you in any way, please contact me and I would be happy to do so. Thank you.
My Lhs has some type of front end problem we have had to buy and replace many tire for this car. Im lucky to have had found the bad tires before blowing out each time. I want to know if im the onyl one having this problem. I try to go with the customer arbitration and got no where.the dealer wanted to put me in a different car and give me $6000 dollars less what pay off was. I'm still driving a problem and had to get two more tires 5/4/2002.
Whenever turning the vehicle would hear a loud squeaking noise. This happened when going over speed bumps or up driveway. Took vehicle for service & had oil changed. Mechanic ordered parts for front suspension: Sway bar links. Vehicle repaired & taken for test drive. Experienced major strut problems & struts were lubricated. Problem still exists.
