1999 Chrysler LHS Suspension Problems

“Rack and pinion and outer tie rod failure on my 1999 Chrysler LHS. I purchased the car approx 30 months ago and it only had 3000 miles or 5400 kilometers. The steering failed on august 10 2008. I was pulling out of the driveway and the steering froze and I could not with all of my strength turn the wheels to the left.....when it failed, the car only had 34,544 kilometers and now has 35000. I have had it repaired at a local garage at the approx. Cost of 1400.00 dollars. …”

“Loud popping sound during driving, some sound was due to bad sway bar links, these were replaced only to fix a small portion of the problem. Loud sound presists, customer service manager heard nosie and confirmed its not a normal sound, as I was told by a mechanic. Parts on order, I was told that the axle was bad and in need of repair.”

“My LHS has some type of front end problem we have had to buy and replace many tire for this car. Im lucky to have had found the bad tires before blowing out each time. I want to know if im the onyl one having this problem. I try to go with the customer arbitration and got no where.the dealer wanted to put me in a different car and give me $6000.00 dollars less what pay off was. I'm still driving a problem and had to get two more tires 5/4/2002.”

“Whenever turning the vehicle would hear a loud squeaking noise. This happened when going over speed bumps or up driveway. Took vehicle for service & had oil changed. Mechanic ordered parts for front suspension: sway bar links. Vehicle repaired & taken for test drive. Experienced major strut problems & struts were lubricated. Problem still exists.”
