problem #1

Feb 062013

Charger ES 3.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,000 miles

Tie rods worn out caused intermitten vibration in front wheel, sheered off a caliper bolt and chewed on the rotor destroying it. I had to have both rotor replaced right caliper and both tie rods replaced and rebalanced the car. I have never seen this on a car before. I bought this car new and used it to drive to work on highways. I have never hit anything with it no reason for tie rods to wear out. They must be using wrong steel in these parts for them to wear out so soon. I am surprised that they would offer a warranty out to 36,000 miles and have the car destroying itself so soon. Good thing there is a lifetime warranty on the engine and drivetrain. I will not buy another Dodge.
