| Description of the problem | Driving down the road at 65 mph pulling and the right tie rod came apart and we headed into oncoming traffic. We were able to pull over without an accident. The dodge dealer told us that the left tie rod in trucks of our same year and model were under recall, but not ours. We had to repair it on our own. The left tie rod is now bad on ours but lucky we were told about it during a tire rotation. Dodge says that our truck isn't covered even though the same year and model trucks are. |
