| Description of the problem | Steering linkage fell off. Did get a recall on the steering linkage, but when i took it to the dealership a year or two before this they told me i didn't have the defective parts and therefore would not replace these parts. Then not 6 months later was my first incident with the steering linkage just falling off, good thing it didn't happen when i was going 50 mph i just was at a stop. Obviously my truck should have been included in the recall. I have replaced the tie rod ends, but the truck still does not drive right, and it only has 60k miles on it. Thanks |
