Well, folks I am back and only after a few months and 7 power steering fixes. The last $1500.00 replacement was my bill and I thought I was safe after the rack and hoses blew, Most likely because of leaking and bursting hoses over 4 years. This started at 30,000 km. Just to let everyone know Chrysler Canada now has cold weather replacement hoses that will be fixed again at no expense to me this time I hope. All this started with a whine and many bursting hoses. I guess I question where, why and how this special hose is available now. Could it be a very quiet recall? We in the USA and Canada do get cold weather so Im puzzled, mad and getting fed up with power steering issues. Just a final note, synthetic approved power-steering oil was put in when repairs were done last, but what type I am not sure. Today I wait for the only Dealer I trust, SteinBack Dodge in Manitoba. That used to be the only place to by any car in Winnipeg before overtaken by Regent, a strip Mall of Dealers. Well, all the Dealers are fading fast and should. Sure hope they hold on and all the others in that part of Manitoba. Good people to deal with everyone. I won't hold my breath though, for a bad defect is just a bad defect. Spring is here, enjoy Life.
March 08/2010. Well, received a call from LeAnne at Chrysler Canada, hope I spelled that right and Whoops, she made a mistake? Yes, the hoses are just made for caravans up north. So I figured I would check the temperature out there and Guess what. Winnipeg is just as dam cold with the windchill. She was polite as was I. She said that I am the only one with these issues, stressing my car has been maintained properly. Possibly she is right. Nobody posts anymore so I am lost and now looking for an older 70's half ton in great shape that I can fix. email me.Email

Well I am thinking hard and can't help that think that there might be a pressure restriction or excessive pressure some where. It really does boggle ones mind. I was told Crysler enjineering will look into the problem, so I can only hope. I would hate like hell to pass this isuue on to the next owner.
