Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem of Chevrolet Cobalt
The vehicle involved is a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. I own a 2006 chevy Cobalt that yes is involved in the ignition switch recall. Just putting the key in the ignition I am sure helps a bit. But I have been checking the ignition position when I stop at lights and stop signs and a few times the key has slipped a little not enough to bounce it into the off position. But enough that if I did not push it back into position and I hit a bump it would have. However it has not been recalled in the steering column recall. I have for months off and on had a whining noise in the steering wheel and when it does this the car is hard to steer. On the way home from work the other day the steering wheel started to whine when I was turning onto the highway and steering got harder. When I hit the highway the warning light came on and car started to ding at me. I pulled over and turned car off for a minute and turned it back on and car was fine. When I got home I looked to see if there were other Cobalt owners having this issue. And there are hundreds of 2006 owners and even more for 2005 having the issue. That is when I found they were recalling cars for this issue but only 2010 Cobalt's which they had recalled in 2010 for the same issue. But the rest of us are not included in the recall but are having the same problem. There is also another problem with the 2006 Cobalt's front end. I brought my car in a couple months ago because it was making a banging noise in the front end. And found that the lower tie rods and the bearing were bad on both sides of the car. I again hit the internet to see if other owners where having this issue and I found again hundreds of 2006 Cobalt owners where having this same issue. And many of them stated that they contacted chevy to talk to them about the issue and they were told that it was not a safety issue so therefore chevy was not going to recall the car and fix the problem it was our issue. It was Sunday, April 6, 2014 when this steering tie rod assembly issue occurred.

Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem of Chrysler Sebring
The vehicle involved is a 2008 Chrysler Sebring. There was crash involved with this Chrysler Sebring. I reported these problems back in September 2011 after I was involved in a car accident on the freeway. On September 03, 2011, I was driving on south I-43 freeway. When I attempted to make a lane change, my car went out of control due to steering failure. I could not steer my car, my steering wheel was very loose and there was no connection between the steering wheel and the vehicle itself. I was struck by another driver that hit my car on the passenger-side by the rear lower side panel. No airbag deployed. My car slammed up against the concrete wall barrier on the passenger-side of my car. I have side airbags, airbags in my seats, underneath my dash, in my steering wheel, one on the passenger's side above the glove compartment, and in all four window seals of my car and not one airbag deployed. I have adr system in my car that supposely can record seconds of activity at the time of the accident. What happened to that information? I am still experiencing problems with my care that is definitely a safety issue such as; continuing replacing tie rod and the stablizer bar loose. This problem started first having problems trying to turn the key in the ignition switch to crank the car and at times fearing that I might break the key in the ignition switch and having to really wiggle the steering wheel to get the switch to turn over. Pictures that were taken by my insurance company revealed a lot of rusty old looking parts underneath the car when in fact the motor of the car still looks new. My car was only two years old with a little over 17,000 miles at the time of purchase in October 2010. When I reported these all of these things in September 2011, I was told that there was no recalls on my car and I doubt if this car has any airbags in it. I learned after, I had the accident in my car, that the car had been wrecked and had possible frame damage at the time of purchase. This issue happened on Saturday, Sep. 3, 2011.

Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem of Chrysler Pacifica
The vehicle is a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. On March 20th 2012 I was driving home from work when the driver side strut mount broke, slightly allowing the strut to damage my hood and break my inner tie rod end. I immediately parked the vehicle called aaa and had it towed to my house. On March 23 I purchased a new strut mount and on the 24th replaced the broken one with the new one. Unfortunately I did the work myself and didn't notice my inner tie rod broke. Which led to my vehicle needing to be checked by my mechanic about 8 months later when my outer tie rod end gave way damaging in the process the wheel bearings and the driver side axle. I had everything fixed and ran into no more problems until July 17th 2013 when my front end alignment started to slip and a noticeable knocking noise started coming from my front end. I immediately set up an appointment to have my vehicle serviced at kelly Chrysler dealership in lehigh valley and they were able to get me in a week later. It took them roughly a week to fix my car. But they replaced my upper engine mount, front lower engine mount, l/f inner outer tie rod ends and removed a damaged exhaust shield. But they still couldn't' tell me why my alignment was off and what the knocking noise was. Towards the end of August my passenger side strut mount broke and I had it replaced right away. Then again in November this time completely ripping through the hood. Then again in February, March and now today 5/7/2014 I noticed the passenger side strut mount is on the verge of breaking again. After speaking to a couple of Pacifica owners in my area I have come to find out these problems are common along with engine shut offs and check engine lights being on for no reason. Its apparent that the 3/8th inch thick plate that the struts sit on are not adequate enough to handle the weight of the vehicles along with the constant jerking motion off the car from the sticky gas peddle. This problem occurred on March 20, 2012.

Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem of Dodge Ram 2500
The vehicle involved was a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500. I have a recall that still to this day has not been taken care of, and was sent out in Nov. 2013. The dealership says that the parts have been back log, and now I have had to pay for a frontend alignment. This truck has had right tie rod and other front end work done ever since I have owned it. I'm so upset over all, and in hopes that ntmv safety can do something about this. As ntmv safety act say's that this could cause a loss of directional control and / or crash without warning. And to pay thousand's of dollar's for a truck that I paid hard earn dollars for, and could endanger someone else or myself. I don't feel it is safe to drive, because of all these recalls I have been sent. Yet, I have invested $$$$$$ in this truck and I need it to be safe. What can I do? can you help? please!. It was Friday, July 11, 2008 when this steering tie rod assembly issue happened.

Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem of Ford Taurus
The VIN of the car is 1FAFP56U27_. Since my 2007 Ford Taurus hit the 100k mile mark, everything started failing. First it was a simple cam sencor, then radiator (x2) throttle body, (x4 each winter for 4 years in a row would just fail. Ended up replacing with an after market brand. Havn`t had a problem since) now recently, with in the last 6 months, all suspencian (struts, sway links, ball joints) all failed. Replaced rears once, fronts are still a problem on secend new pair. Going on third pair just with in 2 months of each replacment, the struts just fail. Tried several brand. Kyb, and gabriel. All failed after only 2 to 3 months of replacing. Plus tie rods, and ends are bad. Already stuck in a good $3000 just to keep this car drivable. Wondering if it`s even worth fixing anymore at this point. Mechanics can`t explain why all of the sudden, the car`s eating struts in such short time. Nothing appears to be damaged under body. And I purposely avoid pot hole ridden side roads, and rail road crossings when I can. So it`s not like I`m being rough on the car. Never had so many problems with my 2001 Ford Taurus. Should have just kept it. :(. It was Mon., May. 5, 2014 when this steering tie rod assembly issue happened.

Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem of Lexus ES330
The car involved was a 2005 Lexus Es330. While driving my car, I realized that the passenger rear tie rod was loose, making steering control dangerous. I contacted city tire who did the alignment over 16 months ago. They told me it was not their fault. I had a mechanic look at it. He said that the person that did the alignment did not tightening up the bolt after adjusting the tie rod. This caused the threads on the tie rod to wear out and then the tie rod to fail. A new tie rod is needed. I have a fried that has a chevy impala 2003 this car had the same problem. I came to the conclusion that the manufacture for the part could be the same for both cars and the part could have a design flaw in which the threads inside the adjusting rods wear out. Please investigate this for me. It does seem like a minor thing but it does affect steering controls when it fails. This steering tie rod assembly issue occurred February 20, 2014.

Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem of Mitsubishi Montero Sport
The car is a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport. 2001 mitsubushi Montero Sport. . . Tie rod sleeve on passenger side unexpectedly came apart as I was pulling out from parking space onto busy roadway. This caused me to not be able to steer correctly. Mechanic replaced tie rod and feels that it was a manufacturing defect as threads where still intact just fitting was not proper. You have the ability to screw tie rod together and physically pull them apart by hand. Had this happened while driving on highway results could have been catastrophic. Before this incident there was no indication of a problem with the tie rods that failed so needless to say when they came apart it was a total shock. I do have the old parts that where removed for inspection if necessary. The repair bill was $285 I was hoping to be able to recoup our expenses. I'm hoping you can advise me on how to do this. Thank you. The failure date was Friday, June 11, 2010.

Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem of Subaru Outback
The car involved was a 2006 Subaru Outback. The right front wheel steering tie rod precipitously and without any warning separated into two separate pieces when the inner part of the tie rod pulled out of the threaded sleeve on the outer part of the tie rod when I drove into my driveway, leaving me with no steering control on the right front wheel. Examination shows the threads on the inner part of tie rod were defective possibly when manufactured allowing separation and lack of steering control. The vehicle is a 2006 Subaru legacy Outback , 4 years old, 44,000 miles. Tire wear was normal and no indication of a problem was evident prior to problem. The failure date was July 12, 2010.

Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem of Toyota Tundra
The vehicle is a 2005 Toyota Tundra. The vehicle had a crash. January 28th (2014) I was into york's Toyota for diagnosis of a check engine light and rough idle problem. The clerk at york's Toyota advised me of (2) recalls on my pickup truck (ball joint & spray frame) and said "we will call you to schedule when to have these completed at no cost to you". February 6th while driving southbound on interstate 95 at the posted speed of 75mph in sherman maine the front driver's side of my 2005 Toyota Tundra buckled. After pulling to side of the highway I got out of the truck and saw the front driver's side ball joint appeared to have sheered off causing damage to tie rod end, other front steering components and some front quarter panel damage. I called the maine state police which completed an accident report. York's has refused to pay for the repairs to the vehicle. My insurance refuses to pay because the cause of the accident was a recalled part. Toyota corp in California has refused to pay for all the repairs to my vehicle stating the ball joint recall was for premature wear and since my truck has 150,000miles it doesn't qualify. This is completely unacceptable. A recall was issued and Toyota is refusing to fix the recalls and the damages. It was Thursday, February 6, 2014 when this steering tie rod assembly issue occurred.

Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem of Toyota Corolla
The car was a 2009 Toyota Corolla. I was driving down interstate 65 in indiana on a windy day and was having trouble keeping my car in my lane. The car was all over the place and I had to constantly fight to keep it on the highway. I slowed down and it did not help. For a while I have heard a clunk noise in the passenger side front tire when hitting a bump. I thought the noise was a broken strut. I took my car to the shop today (midas) in hammond indiana and they said the noise was probably from a loose tie rod. The mechanic showed me he could move the front wheel while the car was in the air 1 to 2 inches to either direction left or right without moving the steering wheel or front wheel on the other side of the car. The tie rod had over one inch of play going into the steering gear box. The car has never been in an accident and this should have never happened at 41,128 miles. I could have been killed. My car is now at my local Toyota dealer getting a brand new electric rack steering gear box and tie rod on the front passenger side. It was Oct. 27, 2013 when this steering tie rod assembly issue happened.

Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem of BMW X3
The car was a 2004 BMW X3. Crash happened when the problem occurred. VIN of the vehicle was 1YVGF22C22_. On July 25th, 2005 at 12:30 pm my daughter lost steering control of our 2004 Mini cooper (18,000 total miles of travel), approximately 1. 5 blocks from our house and slightly side swiped a parked car going at very low speed because of a construction zone. Upon inspection, it was apparent that the tie rod of the right front wheel was completely severed. The damage was far below the threshold that would be expected to break a tie rod. When prompted, my daughter recalled bumping the curb when she parked the car and hour or so before the accident. The impact to the curb was at 1-4 mph and consisted of a slight bump and a scrape and was not considered significant by my daughter. The tie rod has now been replaced and is in our possession. The damage tie rod is completed severed and apparently snapped where a threaded area of the rod is inserted in a bolt. All of the breakage and damage to the rod is limited to a 3/4 cm threaded area of this rod where the breakage occurred, there is absolutely no bending or worn areas outside of this portion of the rod. Because this breakage occurred at the weakest position of the tie rod and resulted from a typical parking maneuver, I am very concern that this breakage resulted from either a defective tie rod or is related to a systematic structural-design defect. Of course an alternative is that bumping a curb during careless low speed parking creates a sufficient force to break a tie rod and make this vehicle unsafe to drive thereafter. This late explanation was proposed by the manufacturer. Although my daughter was not injured and the cost of repair was less than $500 dollars, I am submitting this complaint because of the unusual nature and the potential to result in a mortal accident. This issue happened on Mon., Jul. 25, 2005.

A creaking sound was noticed usually when turning the steering wheel or in a constant state turn mostly at speeds below 40 mph. Car was taken to a gm (Buick ) dealer garage and it was diagnosed as the rack and pinion. Dealer recommended replacing the rack and pinion, tie rods, power steering pump and hose and also recommended replacing the struts. I took the car to a garage that does MD state inspections to have the car inspected and they quickly found the issue. . . . The front stabilizer bar was fatigue cracked completely through at the attach point on one end and only the bolt was holding it together. The stabilizer bar was replaced and the noise went away. If I had taken the gm dealer's advice I would have spent at least $1,850 and still had the problem. The mech. At the inspection station says that this is a chronic problem with certain gm makes/models. It was 10/01/13 when this steering tie rod assembly issue happened.

In November 2000, shortly after manufacture, Jaguar recalled all vins of this model and year from l00001 to l92349. My vehicle has a VIN outside this range, so was not part of recall.

Jaguar and its authorized dealer refuse to compensate me for repairs required and performed as described above. Old parts may yet be available. This steering tie rod assembly problem happened on Mon., Oct. 13, 2008.
