Power Steering Fluid problems of the 2009 Dodge Challenger

I took my car in to the local Dodge dealer for a scheduled inspection of the drive train. The inspection was good, but a shop note indicated there was a leak in the power steering system. The tech filled the power steering fluid reservoir and the service department rep indicated she would call me later when I asked about the cost to repair the leak situation. When the service department later called, I was told that the repairs would require replacing the rack and pinion unit and connecting hoses, etc. I asked about the cost, and was told the cost would be in excess of $1100! I expressed my dismay and said I needed to think that over. The service rep then indicated I should keep an eye on the steering fluid level until repairs were made! this vehicle is like new! I have approx. 12000 miles on it in almost 5 years! I investigated this situation via the internet, and I found this is a common issue with these vehicles. I then searched recalls, and to my surprise, there is no recall for this! I am of the opinion that Chrysler motors should have made the owners aware of this recurring issue, so owners could have had repair work done while said vehicles were still under warranty. I consider this to negligence on their part(Chrysler), and feel they should pay for this repair in part or in full. I apologize if I am filing my report with the wrong agency, but I would appreciate you reviewing this situation or redirecting me to the people who may assist me.
