| Description of the problem | Experiencing early failure of drivers side and passenger side tie rods. (drivers side is worse) was informed at approx. 48,000 miles they needed to be replaced very soon. After some research online found this is a known issue with this make and model and no recall has been issued. I believe these should have been included in the buy out recently announced. |
