| Description of the problem | I lost control of my vehicle and nearly crashed. This is the third time this has happened. It seemed as if a tire had blown, but that was not the case. I now am told that the tie rods need to be replaced. Dodge and two independent mechanics have told me it is due to "failed tie rods" not connected with chrysler's notification code h46. Dodge should issue a recall notice on this issue, as it appears to have happened to many others many times, and someone is going to be seriously injured or killed. It is referred to as the dodge death wobble. |
