I left my residence at approx 8:45am on 5/19/2014 turned north steering was fine, the speed limit is 40mph, changes to 45, then 55, then down to 35mph approx. 5. 5 miles from my right turn, I turned left (west) entering a gas station breakinng at 35mph and found I had no power steering. It took all I could do to avoid hitting the gas pumps.

The vehicle failed to stop after applying brakes.

I found that you all had issued a recall on 2004 non turbo Chrysler Pt Cruiser pressure hose. I have a turbo'ed edition, however I have not found where there are any differences in any of the power-steering components for this edition of the vehicle. I have found a leak in my pressure hose that connects to the power steering that looks like it may have been burned from touching another part on the car. I am not a mechanic so I have not attempted to do any work on this vehicle. I cannot have the part replaced because the recall is for "non-turbo" editions of the car. I would ask that someone please explain to me how the power steering components are different from the recalled 04 Pt Cruiser.

My 2004 Pt Cruiser needs the front hub assembly replaced again after approximately 40,000 miles. The bearings are shot and you have to buy a whole assembly rather than an individual bearing. I've spoken to numerous owners and they too have this problem is there a chance of a recall??.

Grinding noise, wobble in steering-left front wheel bearing gone at 43000 miles-replacement cost $300. 00.
