MOANING NOISE COMING FROM THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. IN MARCH 08 I TOOK MY 1993 TOWN AND COUNTY MINI VAN IN AND MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE STEERING RACK. THIS SEEMED TO WORK UNTIL THE MOANING SOUND STARTED AGAIN IN OCTOBER 08. AFTER KEEPING THE VAN FOR FOUR DAYS MY MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND DID NOT HEAR THE NOISE. I PICKED IT UP AND IT WAS QUIET UNTIL MARCH 09. AT THIS TIME I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED. AFTER ONLY ONE WEEK I AM AGAIN HEARING THE MOAN START. MY VEHICLE HAD 47,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED AND NOW HAS 55,700 MILES. *TR

WE HAVE A 1993 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI VAN, AND DISCOVERED A FEW YEARS AGO ABOUT A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THESE HAVE, WET OR EVEN DAMP, THE BELTS WILL BE THROWN OFF THE ENGINE CAUSING EVERYTHING FROM NO CHARGING TO LOSING YOUR POWER STEERING. I GUESS THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT , BUT WILL NOT CORRECT. ALL THAT IS NEEDED IS TO REPLACE THE SMOOTH PULLEY BELT ADJUSTER, TO A PULLEY WITH SIDES THAT KEEP IT ON................MY PROBLEM, MY WIFE NEARLY WRECKED RECENTLY WHEN THE BELT CAME OFF WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE BELT CAME OFF. I AM LUCKY I DIDN'T GET A CALL FROM THE HIGHWAY PATROL THAT DAY. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO REPLACE THESE PULLEYS. IT COSTS AROUND $150-170 FOR CONSUMERS TO BUY THE KIT, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TOO. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE CHRYSLER FIXES THIS. *TR
