The VIN of this vehicle was 2C8GT64L82_. I own a 2002 Chrysler Town & Country. At approx. 25k mileage, left front strut replaced under warranty. Now out of warranty at 39,000 miles, the sway bar links need to be replaced. Dealer recommends that related bushings be replaced as well because "we've seen a number of them go bad. " other comment that "we've seen the links go earlier than this" indicate to me that there is a systemic problem(s) here. Car has not been driven in extraordinary situations that might cause early failure of such parts. At the age of 55, I have owned many cars and never have I experienced such early failure of steering/suspension parts. How many others have had the same issues with these vehicles?.

Steering Linkages problem of Jeep Wrangler
The vehicle having this issue was a 2003 Jeep Wrangler. In July 2005, after hitting a small bump in the highway, I experienced severe shaking of the front end of my 2003 Jeep Wrangler sahara at about 45-50 mph. The shaking stopped after slowing the vehicle to about 30-35 mph. I took the vehicle to the dealer (frank parra Jeep in irving, TX) for investigation and repair. I was informed by the service advisor, john ballard, that this problem occurs frequently in Jeeps and that it was due to the steering dampener. Frank parra replaced the steering dampener. The problem recurred in March 2006 and I again took the vehicle to the dealer. I was informed by the service advisor, timothy simpson, that the stock steering dampener was not strong enough to withstand the load imposed by the 30 in. Wheel group, which comes standard on the sahara model, and that I would need to purchase an upgraded steering dampener, the "rancho" model, but that it was not covered under the daimler Chrysler warranty. We thought we would try the stock steering dampener again. It failed on the drive home from the dealer. I filed a warranty claim with daimler Chrysler and checked to see if there were any safety recalls on the steering dampener. Daimler Chrysler denied my claim and said there were no recalls. The service representative told me that only NHTSA can authorize a recall. It seems that the steering dampener was not designed properly for the loads imposed by the standard wheel configuration and should be upgraded so that it is engineered properly. Although this has not caused any accidents or property damage, it could have an impact on the ability to control the vehicle in heavy traffic on the highway and raises the possibility of catastrophic failure. It should be investigated. This steering linkages issue occurred Mar. 21, 2006.

Steering Linkages problem of Land Rover LR3
On my Land Rover Lr3 when I turn the steering wheel hard to the right and left there is a loud crunching noise in the front end. The dealer says its common and due to the steering linkage hitting the stop, however this does not happen on all Lr3's. I'm driving a loaner from the dealer and this on (same model and year) does not make the noise. I've owned nearly 25 vehicles in my life and none have made this noise. It is clearly a problem but Land Rover won't acknowledge it, they should recall these vehicles and fix the problem. It was February 27, 2007 when this steering linkages issue happened.

Steering Linkages problem of Cadillac Catera
The vehicle was a 1998 Cadillac Catera. The VIN of this vehicle is W06VR52R1W_. Without warning, the steering linkage on driver side snapped while operating vehicle at a slow speed. I need to know if the same type of failure has occurred on other Cadillac Catera's or other models built since 1997. This issue happened on 08/06/2001.
