my 04 sebring that i bought drove great till three months after i bought it. After a while i noticed that for odd reason the steering didnt want to move at all and the belt would sqeal even when the belt was fine.i have three kids and when it did this when i drove down road then the the rack blew out on the drivers side i was not happy one bit. ive not seen this but wanted to kno what the hell is going on with these racks. im seeing alot of problems with these and no good answer back from chrysler. im not happy one bit about this being kids if its just me in the car all the time i wouldnt be so upset but im a father and alot upsets me about this car.
Every time I turn my steering wheel it makes a super loud squeaky noise like it is rubbing against something. This sometimes also happens when I hit my brakes. I'm going to have my brakes replaced but I was also told maybe putting oil in that area would help it. I'm not sure but it is almost winter and it sounds really bad.
The sqeaking from the steering, which sounds like the power steering belt, on this particular model. Sebring you can not even see the belts let alone change it. To even see the belts (the engine is sitting side ways rather than the usual or normal back to front) I was told you have to jack the car up, remove the wheel and remove the splash guard and drop the rack and pinion assembly. What as waste of time just change the belts. Seems like the car was made so that the car owners can no longer perform routine maintenance.
I also have this loud squeaking happening when I turn the steering wheel left or right in the front end. I did put new brake shoes and pads on this weekend but it did not stop.
