NHTSA complaint #10947968, filed 2017-01, 130,000 miles“On my way to work I stopped and put $15 dolalrs in the tank I was just below a half tank now. I drove roughly 5-10miles and when I was driving around 30mph the oil can light came on and then my steering got tight and brakes got tight. It was like they went out. My car engine then shut off and I coasted to the shoulder the best I could. This almost caused a large accident. I tried starting the car immediately after it made noise but would not start a couple minutes later I started it and the car started fine.”
NHTSA complaint #11139281, filed 2018-10, 150,000 miles“On feb. 27,2008 I had to have both tie rod ends replaced on my 2006 Chrysler 300. During my auto shop's search for replacement parts we discovered that the dodge dealer in worcester ma. Had 174 tie rod ends on backorder. This leads me to believe that if there is no recall maybe there should be.”
