I have a 1996 Dodge Intrepid I bought in 1998 I have had numerous steering problems with this vehicle and have spent much money to fix this car. The bushings have been replaced, the bearings have been replaced, the power steering pump has been replaced, the steering hoses have been replaced, all this was done at under 55,000 miles and luckily gefore my fiance and my children were seriously hurt in an acident due to steering lose or control. These problems totaled around 2,500.to fix. Now we are having the same problems again with the car having 90,000 miles now the power steering pump is out again and the rack and pinion is out and it is impossible to steer. We are a low income family so trade the car in is out of the question and getting it fixed right away is sometimes not possible. Just by pure luck I was looking for prices of rack and pinions and I just stummbled across this web site and I am glad I did.

Consumer hears a banging noise in the steering column that goes down the shaft and feels like it's under the accelerlator, when the car warms up, the noise goes away, the power steering tensioner fell out and was replaced and the problems went away for a while, now the banging noise is present even when the vehicle has warmed up.

As my wife was in a parked position in a parking lot, she proceeded to pull out. To do this she had to go around a light pole. As she pulled out she hit the light pole. She got out of the vehicle and inspected the damages. The damages were, crushed left front bumper, a small nic on the hood and a damaged left front headlight light assembly. With damaged not looking severe, she proceeded to bring the automobile home. On her way she immediately experienced a check enginge light, alternator ligh. As I went to inspect the car, I noticed the power steering pully was completely missing and the main serpentine belt was missing. The frame was no bent and the is no way that anything could have touched the power steering pump causing the pully to break off. I am courios to ask if this is a nown problem. Thank you for your time, larry roudebush.

This vehicle has had a failure in every major system. The timing belt failed which led to the damage to the water pump. The power steering pump developed a leak and had to be replaced. There is no excuse for a car to have these kind of mechanical failures in such a short period of time.
