| The moving steering shaft between the steering wheel and floor of the passenger compartment is exposed. a clamp on the steering shaft caught the floor mat and made it almost impossible to steer the car. i talked to the dealer and was told all stratus are made this way. the steering shaft needs a shield. if chrysler doesn't fix this, i may sell the car. i have had numerous other problems, including timing belts/iginition key/ head rests/body, electric mirrors,etc.. this may be the last straw. i am a mechanical engineer with 20 years experience and i have worked on cars since grade school. a design flaw like this borders on criminal!!! if there is an accident caused by this design, i would be glad to testify. it would be an open and shut case!!! i would appreciate a reply to this message if possible. *ak | |||
