Consumer Description

HAD TIE ROD ENDS REPLACED BY THE DEALER 4 MONTHS AGO. NOW, 4 MONTHS LATER, THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT I NEED TO HAVE THE STEERING GEAR, AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS ON BOTH SIDES REPLACED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 65,000 MILES. THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS OR STEERING GEAR TO BE REPLACED AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. DEALER SAID THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. SAME THING THEY SAID 4 MONTHS AGO WHEN THE TIE RODS WERE REPLACED. WHY WASN'T THE CONTROL ARM ISSUE NOTICED WHEN I HAD THE TIE RODS REPLACED? I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS. THIS IS NOT SOME FREAK ACCIDENT. IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NO HELP FROM DODGE/CHRYSLER. IF THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS, WHY IS THIS ISSUE NOT BEING LOOKED INTO A LITTLE MORE CAREFULLY? IF THEY WANT TO STAY IN BUSINESS MUCH LONGER THEY SHOULD BE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE PROMPTLY. *TR
