Description of the problem | While driving my 2003 dodge stratus, i was in the process of turning and i heard a kind of snap and then i felt and heard a grinding in my steering wheel. For about a week whenever i had to make a turn there was this noise list a spring was caught and almost would get caught and i would have to quickly jerk the steering wheel so it wouldn't get stuck and keep me from turning. My airbag light came on and stays on, so it won,t deploy in an accident, my horn doesn't work, and i lost function of my speed control. I was told this is my clockspring. This faulty clockspring was recalled in many dodge vehicles but has yet to be recalled in my vehicle. See safety recall no. B24 (11/01/2002) for 1998 dodge vehicles but dodge continued to use these faulty clocksprings that in fact should have a lifetime warranty. |
