During rear brake replacement, shop discovered that left front tie rod was completely worn and needed to be replaced. Worn part was kept and shown to owner. Tie rod failure could result in accident or even death due to loss of steering. Over a MILLION Dodge vehicles have been recalled for tie rod failure, yet no alert or recall for the Journey.

Seriously a second time needing the tie rods replaced on my car! Time to get rid of this car, something is obviously wrong with the workmanship or something with this vehicle.
