Beware transmission and rack and pinion steering failures with Chrysler cars! This includes Concorde, 300M, Interpid and Dodge Ram trucks. All of a sudden, I noticed play in my steering. This turned out to be defective rack and pinion unit, at a cost of $1400! This is happening frequently on these cars.
Up until 50,000 miles, I really like this car. Now, it seems to be falling apart. I'm dumping it and buying anything, but Chrylser.
I found an after market, (with lifetime warranty), for the Rack and Pinion steering for about $200 bucks.
Had a local mechanic install in 3-4 hours for $150.
I bought the part at Tire Warehouse in Lewiston, Maine.
Good luck.
