Steering Linkages problem #1

A month after my vehicle was purchased we had a number of problems, the rear differential was cracked, leaking windshield washer fluid and now the steering isn't working in the manner it should. The car is all over the road and while stopping yesterday the steering wheel completely rolled to the left. Then while on a gravel road the wheel completely spun around. I called another dealership today and they said there was a recall on the steering, but the Mitsubishi headquarters said there aren't any recalls.

Steering problem #2

At 25 mph something broke and the vehicle made a sudden left turn. ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****770767.

Steering Rack And Pinion problem #3

While driving, brakes will lock up, and then steering locks up. This can happen at any time. Contacted dealer, and the dealer cannot find the cause. Consumer states brakes and steering locked on highway two times in five months.
