Failure of three out of four tie rod ends. I lost the right outer while driving, this is very dangerous.
Everyone I talk to with one of these trucks has had the same problem.
The tie rod ends are too weak, there is no fail-safe feature to keep them from coming completely apart when the fail, and they will!
I have read of a class action law suit pending in u. s. a. and a successful one in Canada.
Also I have read of using a Moog replacement part as they are much stronger and will not blow apart if they fail.
