BOTH TIE ROD ENDS AT STEERING GEAR BOX HAD TO BE REPLACED. CAR WOULD WONDER ALL OVER ROAD.. ASKED DEALER WHY THEY FAILED AT 59000 MILES, JUST A WEAR POINT.. I'VE HAD TO MANY OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS AND NEVER HAD A TIE ROD PROBLEM AND THIS CAR HAS BOTH FAIL AT THE SAME TIME....

HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON. NOTICED THAT THE FRONT TIRES WERE WEARING OUT WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THE WHEELS WOULD WHISTLE, AND WHEN COMING DOWN A HILL AND APPLYING BRAKES,THE FRONT WHEELS SHIMMIED VERY BADLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING AT 45MPH. CONTACTED THE DEALER, DEALER INSPECTED VEHICLE, AND TOLD CONSUMER THAT BUSHINGS/TIE RODS AND BALL JOINTS WORE OUT *AK

WILL CHRYSLER PAY TO FIX AIR CONDITIONING PROBLEM? WE PAID FOR EVERYTHING ELSE TO BE FIXED
