03 cruiser steering
We have an 03 cruiser with 16000 miles on it . Latley the power steering pump has started to whine. The first time they told us they bled the system and topped it off with fluid ( I know that's a load of BS) It happened again and is also missing, the dealer now says the steering rack is bad and it might be the missing problem ( I smell more BS) has anyone else had similar problems ?

Re: 03 cruiser steering
I have a 2001 and my power steering was recently whining very loudly. I topped off my flid and it quit, but I will admit it was extremely noisy for being only a mall amount low.

PT Cruiser Power Steering Pump
My PT with 12,000 miles had a whine. After four returns to the dealer and a fix after a recall, they finially determined that the pump was bad. Tried to install two more pumps and still can't find one that isn't defective. Lesson learned. Don't believe the dealer eyewash about shims, adding oil (oil masks everything) have them replace it on their dime and check it thoroughly before you drive away.

Re: 03 cruiser steering
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 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 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.
