NHTSA Complaint #10457088 — 2007 DODGE CHARGER

TODAY THE OUTER TIE ROD ON THE DRIVERS WHEEL SIDE SNAPPED IN HALF. THIS OCCURRED NOT AFTER HITTING A BUMP, OR A CURB, BUT PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. YES, A RIGHT HAND TURN AT LESS THAN 5 MILES AN HOUR SNAPPED THE OUTER TIE ROD IN TWO. HOW FORTUNATE AM I THAT THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT DID NOT BREAK WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY? THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE THAT DODGE KNOWINGLY PLACES UNSAFE COMPONENTS ON THEIR CARS, AND REFUSES TO RECALL THEM WHEN THE PARTS CONTINUE TO FAIL. DODGE RECALLS THE TIE RODS ON THE DAKOTA, RAM, AND DURANGO; BUT AFTER THOUSANDS OF PUBLIC COMPLAINTS THAT CHARGER TIE RODS ARE BAD ALSO, THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. ARE THEY WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO DIE BECAUSE OF THEIR UNSAFE PRODUCTS? *JS
