Dear sir's, it was some-what hard to be really acurate on the milages in your form, but while these things were going on, I was keeping notes. I compiled them all down to a journal type document, dates & times. (06) pages. And I can further extend points in there, in a phone conversation. I will be happy to send you a copy of this also. Respectfully, E w. moss. No safetyd efect listed.

Vehicle was making a crunching noise, and was uncontrollable at high speeds. This was due to a faulty rack and pinion steering. Dealer has not been able to repair vehicle.

The defective automatic transmission in this vehicle causes the engine to stop when decelerating. The defective transmission is a common problem for this years model according to local transmission shops. Also the transmission was changed for the next years model.

Would like to know why this head gasket problem has not prompted a recall. I put 3-4 qts of oil in a week. Can not afford to get ot fixed now. Shouldn't have to after 27,000 mls. I'll never buy Dodge again.
