Description of the problem | I recently had new tires mounted on my vehicle and was told that the tire rods were worn badly. I just passed 42,000 miles on my vehicle. I was told by my mechanic that this has been an issue on many chrysler 300 models around the same mileage. There are even two options for repair. You can have the tie rods replaced with standard equipment but will most likely have the same issue or chrysler came out with an upgraded replacement with a lifetime warranty. Obviously chrysler knows that this is an issue and should be an actual recall. I will be having the tie rods replaced tomorrow. |
