My car has 67985 miles on it, I took it to the dealrship today for routine service and was called a few hours later to be informed that I need new tie rods again!!! I just had them replaced in the past 2 years!!! WTF!!!! I thought that I had noticed an intermittent clunking noise while driving but thought it may have just been the bad road conditions here. This is completely ridiculous - I have owned my share of vehicles some had over 100,000 miles on it and never needed a tie rod. I average about 13,000 miles per year on my car so I've gone through 1 set of tie rods in about 20,000 miles????? Someone please tell me that they are having similar problems and that Dodge will fix it for the life of my car!!!!!!

My car sounded like the top of the car was literally going to come off of the tires when I rode over small bump or any bump. I took it to the dealer and they said it was my bushings and tire rods, (234.00). Even though I got a good deal on the repair my problem still wasn't fixed. I went back the same day and complained about the problem again. Then I was told it was my control arms, (283.00).

Not much to say, except this will be my last Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep product. I have never owned a car that required as much expensive maintenance as this car. New tie rod ends, new tension struts, new sway bars, 3 sets of front brakes and rotors in 40,000 miles, engine ticks (although full synthetic oil seems to have that under control), bad rear hatch struts, peeling wheel covers, hesitating acceleration, and on and on and on ... what a piece of junk. I had my 2003 Pontiac Grand Am for 145,000 and never had 1/8th of the problems I have had with this car.
