| Description of the problem | I pulled into a parking space and backed up to get in straighter and the tie rod end snapped off. The left front tire folded and vehicle couldn't move. We have spent a lot of money on this vehicle, which is not good. It only has 60,000 miles and has had 2 or 3 recalls. Dodge needs to check the front ends on these models and compensate us for monies we have paid for repairs. |
