Then February 4, 2003, less than a month later, I had to pay another $180 to have one tire replaced and then all four tires rebalanced. Don't know if this was an actual car problem or mechanic stupidity and consumer ripoff.

(reported on)Intrepid ES
- 28,200 miles
Suspension repairs at 10,437 miles because vehicle was drifting in both directions (previous owner). Steering problems experienced at 28,200 miles, steering had play, vibration, sometimes felt loose, steering would wander and would almost never drive straight. Chrysler dealer supposedly could never "duplicate" any of these problems. Excessive outer front tire wear reported at 32,683 miles, dealer blamed tires, missing left lower suspension control arm washer, dealer could not explain why this was missing. Vehicle totaled after sudden poor steering control, DaimlerChrysler accepts no responsibility for anything and blames everything else other than this obviously defective vehicle.

This car looks like new. With 40000 miles there should be no problem with the steering rack. My garage tells me that it will cost between $400 to $600.
