took car to chrysler dealer and they claim I need a new steering rack for a mere 3,500. my bumper to bumper expired 2 weeks ago. Called chrysler customer service immediately because I had originally brought the car in three weeks back for left turn steering farting noises, at the point there was only a slight problem steering left. In addition there were other squealing noises that were determined to be rear rotor issues. Those were replaced and those noises whent away. To make a long story longer, Chrysler is doing everything they possibly can to avoid paying for this repair. I'm also still not convinced this is a steering gear problem. Stay tuned.
