I do not agree with your statement. All I needed to happen was to have my tie rod break like it did. If I was still driving on the highway, I could have been killed. I was close to being one of the "never happening to me" problems. TREATIONG US LIKE A NUMBER IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. SO, SOME GET IN A HIGH PROFILE CASE AND GET KILLED.
WHO WANTS TO TAKE THE CHANCE?
Since my tie rod broke, I only drive when I have to drive.

I had just pulled into my driveway at home after pulling an 18 foot trailer with a tractor and a Bushhog. If I was still on the Interstate, I may have been killed.
Next, I had to wait a year for the Dodg

The batteries need to be charged it states that in the manuel and the dealer agrees. This is a huge recall and a lot of people already have paid out of pocket 4 this
