“Steering problems had rack and pinion replaced, inner tire rods replaced, lost control of vehicle, outer right tire rods broken, very fortunate my family and I not hurt (70mph on i95), replace outer tire rod, play in steering replace steering yoke. Also water gets into electrical system shorting out computer. Do not know how water gets in, can not see from inside of vehicle, but can sometimes hear water sloshing around.”

The failure recurred approximately six months later while driving over railroad tracks at approximately 30 MPH. Another individual examined the vehicle and stated that the tie rod on the front passenger side was fractured. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer and again the contact was informed that the tie rod was fractured. …”
