Dear sir's, it was some-what hard to be really acurate on the milages in your form, but while these things were going on, I was keeping notes. I compiled them all down to a journal type document, dates & times. (06) pages. And I can further extend points in there, in a phone conversation. I will be happy to send you a copy of this also. Respectfully, E w. moss. No safetyd efect listed.

Vehicle was making a crunching noise, and was uncontrollable at high speeds. This was due to a faulty rack and pinion steering. Dealer has not been able to repair vehicle.

Would like to know why this head gasket problem has not prompted a recall. I put 3-4 qts of oil in a week. Can not afford to get ot fixed now. Shouldn't have to after 27,000 mls. I'll never buy Dodge again.
