Consumer Description

MY TIE ROD HAS BENT 2 TIMES NOW. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO IT. THE FIRST TIME IS THAT MY WHOLE TIRE FELL OFF WHEN I WAS DRIVING. THE NEXT IT JUST BARELY NOT EVEN A YEAR AFTER MY TIRE FELL OFF I WAS DRIVING IN THE SNOW AND MY DRIVE MODE STOP WORKING. ONCE I PARKED I LOOK AT MY TIRE AND SAW IT WAS COCKEYED. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. I WAS ONLY GOING MAX 5 MILES AN HOUR. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR FROM HELL WITH MY CAR.
