| Description of the problem | 2006 dodge 4x4 quad cab 2500. Today as i turned onto street my tie rod disconnected from the ball and my tire went sideways in the middle of the street. I looked on line and found many others with the same problem. If i was pulling my fifth wheel, which i will be soon, i cannot imagine what the outcome would have been. Poor design. When i phoned big o tire in yuma az (928-342-5535) they said this is a common problem. Please put pressure on dodge for a recall in order to save lives. They know they have a problem. |
