When vehicle went to make a turn in either direction at any speed under normal weather conditions, a 'crunching' noise would come from front right side of vehicle. Dealership replaced tie rods in an attempt to correct this defect, and noise remained. Dealership then lubricated an unknown part of suspension, which did eliminate noise. Please provide any additional information/attachments.

The vehicle has ahd multiple alignment and tie-rod problems. It displays wobbling at very low and interstate speeds. Considering the number of complaints related to the steering rack & pinion and tie rods, I believe that a recall is warranted.

Dealership informed me that Chrysler's warranty did not cover this defect and if not repaired it could lead to an accident and non function of the vehicle this should be a recall item it dangerous when you have limited control of steering and the engine sound like it was going to fall out when you stopped.

Engine head gasket allowed coolant to leak down to a level that the $1200/each heads warped. Tie rod bushings have been replaced three times so far (once by the dealer and they failed within 10K miles and barrett Dodge would not replace) and now the left bushing needs replacing again. If you travel a certain speed and make a turn the wheel shakes violently and you have to come to a complete stop to be able to make it stop.

I think that is enough to tell you this model has defects too many to mention. I think Dodge should allow some sort of renumeration on repairs or a nice reasonable discount on future purchases since this is my second Dodge.

Steering is very erratic. The faster you go the worse it gets. Took it to my mechanic and he told me he has seen several similar problems with this type of vehicle. Bushings for the steering have separated creating too much play.
