Steering Column problems of the 2008 Chrysler Sebring

On September 30, 2010, I purchased a 2008 Chrysler Sebring from a dealership in Plymouth, WI. The car had 19,204 miles on it. The car also had bridgestone turanza tires. I took my car into tires plus for an oil change at 22,700 miles on the dash. I was told by the technician that I needed new tires, because my tires had 3/32 of tread on them. On January 28, 2011, there was a recall on the car so gandrud installed a auto trans shift lever interlock spring. They also checked tire pressure and set tire pressure. A about a month later, I started having trouble with getting my key out of the ignition switch. Having to wiggle the steering column to get it out. I took the car back to gandrud to have them check it and they told me nothing was wrong with it. On may 11, 2011, I took my car in for another oil change and tire rotation. Gandrud told me I had 4/32 tread on the tires at 30,026 miles. On June 24, 2011, I took it back to gandrud for another oil change at 33,572 miles on the dash and was told I had 4/32 of tire tread left on the tires. It was not two months later, I moved to milwaukee, WI. On August 18, 2011, amato Hyundai was running a special for $12. 00 an oil change. I went got an oil change and the technician there told me I needed to get new tires for the car. He stated at this time I had less than 2/32 of tread on my tire. I got a quote from the service guy, decided I can beat that price. Set-up an appointment with tires plus for four tires an alignment. Unfortunately, I did not make it to get my new tires on the car. On September 03, 2011, I was involved in a car accident on the freeway. I was traveling in far left lane, maneuvering to the middle lane when my steering wheel and my tires were no longer functioning together. I almost lost my life that day, but god so fit for me to live to tell about it. It was the most shocking day of my life. I thank god I am here to make a complaint. These dealerships can't continue to scam us this way. It's not worth our life.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible. While driving 10 mph and attempting a right turn, the steering wheel locked and the contact had to utilize extreme bodily force in order maneuver the vehicle. The dealer diagnosed the failure as a defective steering column rack. The steering column rack was replaced yet the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer however, they were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was left with the dealer where the contact was awaiting repairs. The failure mileage was 65,000 and the current mileage was 70,000.
