“My tie rod has bent 2 times now. I have done nothing to it. The first time is that my whole tire fell off when I was driving. The next it just barely not even a year after my tire fell off I was driving in the snow and my drive mode stop working. Once I parked I look at my tire and saw it was cockeyed. I did not hit anything. I was only going max 5 miles an hour. It has been a year from hell with my car.”
