While driving down a side road at around 25mpg, the left front wheel made a pop sound and abruptly stopped. When my daughter got out to investigate she saw that the wheel was folded under the car. She had it towed and we learned the tie-rod control arm failed and broke the shaft. Thank god she was not on the highway. We paid 1200.00 dollars to get her back on the road and 4 months later the passenger side IS now making a loud squealing sound when you turn the wheel. Now I learn that it seems the whole front end of these cars are defective and dangerous! Oh, and the heat stopped working and will cost 500.00 to fix.

I dont see any gas on the ground but I can smell fumes off and one and sometimes under the hood. It IS like I am losing gas pressure because car stalls and I am losing gas somewhere. *tr

After driving my car a friend went outside and seen smoke coming out from under the hood.she called me and I ran to the car and I seen fire under the front wheel's. Friends sprayed water on the hood and I opened it up a little and they sprayed the fire and put it out. By this time the top of the motor was burnt bad. Everything on top needs to be replaced, it was caused by the high pressure hose on the powersteering. I found out that it had a recall on the hose so I called dodge corp. And they gave me a case # and to take it to my dealer so I did. Then the corp. Office called me today and said it's been to long this should have been done by the last owner and hung up. I bought this car oct.14 of this year and this happened on the 31. How am I to know that this was going to happen in 18 day's. I paid a lot of money for this car and I think. The computer can tell you the recall and how to get it fixed; but you try to find somewhere on here on what to do when there IS a recall and it done what it said it would do and you didn't know about it until it did it. I need help I don't have the money to fix it. I took out a loan to get it. *tr

When I asked the dealer what I should do about this problem he said there are many people waiting on this same part and that all I can do IS wait for the part..meanwhile my car IS leaking gas and unsafe for my children to ride in...if a part IS via the dealership only it should be available for instances just like this! How am I supposed to get to work? How am I supposed to take my kids to day care? I don't think I'll ever buy another chrysler because of this horrible customer service! I guess if the car blew up because of the gas leak it'd be more of a concern! *Tr

I had a 2000 dodge stratus SE which caught on fire in my driveway after my daughter returned home with it. She came running inside saying it was smoking so when we went to look in was on fire, with flames shooting out of the hood. I call 911 while my husband and a neighbor sprayed the car with a hose. Everything under the hood was melted. When we called the dodge dealership they pretty much laughed at us saying yeah there IS a recall for the pressure steering hose which can leak and cause a fire. But since you didn't come get it fixed too bad, but if you bring it in now we will replace the hose for you!!! After many calls to the main dodge number that IS on the recall on their website they finally left me a voice mail stating we sent a notice too bad. I am so thankful that nobody was hurt. My teenage daughter had just gotten home from school. It would have caught fire there who knows what could have happened. I have lived in a different state since buying the car so that IS why I didn't get the notice. It saddens me to think that IS all they have to do IS send out a notice when a fire will result if not taken care of, and they don't care. *Tr

Odi has received 29 reports of engine compartment fires that appear to be related to power steering hose leakage in model year (my) 1999 and 2000 chrysler cirrus, dodge stratus and plymouth breeze vehicles (ja-cars) equipped with 2.4L engines.these reports indicate that the fire resulted from a power steering hose leak or that it occurred after an extended drive and shortly after being parked - conditions consistent with ignition of power steering fluid on a hot engine or exhaust surface during the vehicle hot soak period. On january 6, 2006, daimlerchrysler corporation (dcc) notified nhtsa of a safety defect on my 1999 and 2000 ja-cars built from july 1, 1998 to july 31, 2000 and equipped with 2.4L engines (recall 06v-001).the notification stated that ?the high pressure power steering hose may prematurely heat, age and develop a leak. Power steering fluid leakage in the presence of an ignition source may result in an under hood fire.dcc indicated that it was aware of 94 complaints and field reports that may be related to this condition when it made the defect determination.to remedy the defect condition, dcc will replace the high pressure power steering hose on the affected vehicles with a new part made from a hose material with increased heat resistance capability. Consequently, this investigation IS closed.odi will monitor the effectiveness of the remedy and take further action if warranted.

On june 29, 2005, odi opened preliminary evaluation pe05-036 to investigate complaints of engine compartment fires in model year (my) 1999-2000 chrysler cirrus, dodge stratus and plymouth breeze passenger cars (ja cars). The ja cars were introduced in my 1995 and ended with my 2000.they were produced with 2.0L, 2.4L and 2.5L engines.the incident data in the failure report summary of this resume are for subject vehicle engine compartment fires for all causes. According to daimlerchrysler, evidence collected from field inspections of fire incident vehicles indicate that fluid leakage from the high pressure power steering hose IS the most likely cause of the fires in the subject vehicles.the subject high pressure power steering hose IS used in ja cars with both the 2.4L and 2.0L engines in my 1995 through 2000.the fire incident rate in the my 1999 through 2000 ja vehicles with 2.4L engines IS significantly higher than in the prior model year vehicles using that engine and in any of the vehicles with the 2.0L or 2.5L engines.daimlerchrysler IS continuing its investigation of the issue and has provided periodic updates to odi. An engineering analysis (ea05-019) has been opened to further assess the scope and frequency of the alleged defect in the subject vehicles.
