Description of the problem | Drivers side tie rod end broke while pulling out of a parking space with wheel turned to left. This caused complete loss of steering control. There was no previous problems, or noises to indicate a problem. Had this happened while driving forward at a higher rate of speed it would most likely have cause a accident. In addition had the recall that was issued for 2008 to 2011 dodge 2500 trucks included my vin number, the failure could have been avoided. *kb |
