 Today the outer tie rod on the drivers wheel side snapped in half. this occurred not after hitting a bump, or a curb, but pulling into a parking space. yes, a right hand turn at less than 5 miles an hour snapped the outer tie rod in two. how fortunate am i that this defective product did not break while i was on the highway? this is an absolute outrage that dodge knowingly places unsafe components on their cars, and refuses to recall them when the parts continue to fail. dodge recalls the tie rods on the dakota, ram, and durango; but after thousands of public complaints that charge tie rods are bad also, they do nothing about it. are they waiting for people to die because of their unsafe products?

 Tl*the contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. when she applied the brakes there was a very loud noise in the front of the vehicle. the brakes are functioning normally. the dealer stated that the front end was out of line. the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure continued to occur. the dealer later stated that tires caused the failure; however, a tire facility confirmed that the tires were not related to the failure. the dealer was unable to repair or successfully diagnose the failure. a second dealer stated that the ball bearings could be related to the failure. the contact stated that the failure is a manufacturers defect. the failure mileage was 18,000. the current mileage was 37,262.
