This is the second time this problem has occurred.First time at 77,000 miles and now at 135,000 miles.This car has given us more than its fair share of troubles.I can see why Chrysler was going bankrupt.Poor quality parts and engineering.We also had to replace a intake manifold gasket that was leaking that the mechanic found while he was replacing the rack and pinion unit.With all the problems that are occurring with the steering unit,this should be a major recall item!! We like to buy American but manufacturers need to think quality before profit or there will be no more American car companies.
