I had my tires rotated at New Carrollton, MD Darcars Dodge after which my 2005 Dodge Caravan started shaking at high speeds. I had the van re-checked and no problem was found. So I took the van to Meineke and they found that my inner tire spring needed to be replaced but because the car is so new, that part can't be replaced INDEPENDENTLY of the entire rack & pinion rod. As a result, my tires are wearing quickly, my alignment is off and I need a new rack and pinion rod. The rod alone is $950 including installation and the job will take 6 hours. 4 new tires will cost $700 and an alignment will cost another $90. And I'm still paying a car note. I have never had so many problems with a new vehicle in my life.
