While driving at any speed, the consumer experienced a problem with the steering control. The steering became difficult while driving or turning. The vehicle has been to the dealer on several occasions. The dealer replaced the power steering pump and lubricated the steering column and the problem still continued. The vehicle is back at the dealer.

The failure seems to be multi part. On a long trip the power steering seemed sluggish (some part of the power assist weakened). The wheel also was grinding terribly when we turned. After taking it to the dealer they replaced the belt. Before I left the lot thesteering still seemed heavy, and the wheel then made a hard thump when turned side to side. I am still going through the repairs, and I estimated the cost, but I have already paid $111 for a belt which didn't fix all the problem, therefor I guessed $300.

When making turns vehicle is very hard to steer. Dealer found rack and pinion needed to be replaced. Power steering pump also needed replaced.

While driving vehicle steering wheel had a lot of play. Took to dealer & informed rack & pinion was problem. Dealer did not have parts to repair. On back order. Steering power pump, rear bearings, doors needed adjusting & water pump failed.

Power steering pump was leaking very badly. We took it to the byers Chrysler dealership at 390 east broad street, (614) 228-5111 we could see that a bolt/nut had rubbed a hole through the power steering line. The dealer mechanic told us after checking it that we must have run over something because there was a hole in the line and proceeded to let us know that the replacement part is on back-order for up to 6 months. The problem was caused obviously by looking at the part from the nut/bolt rubbing against the line. The dealer did not offer to patch it up or any assistance. When calling around to several other Dodge dealers, I informed that this particular part has been renamed and numbered due to a problem in previous models and is on backorder nationwide but it was never recalled. The new part number is 05101846aa. We now have a leaking power steering pump and no answers or assistance from the dealership. We have a warranty but it supposedly it is not covered. We would appreciate any and all assistance you can provide. Thank you. **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**767681.
