1 Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem

Failure Date: 05/07/2010

The events leading up to the failure, no previous issue until the power steering failed causing my daughter to fly off the road and crash. I had the car repaired, new axle, tie rod ends, wheel spindle, etc but not the power steering unit. The cars power steering unit has failed 4 more times since repairing the front end parts. As I stated I didn't know there were issues with the power steering or I would have had that fixed also.

2 Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem

Failure Date: 02/24/2010

Steering shakes alot on rough roads and sometimes when applying the break. We brought the car in to the dealer a dozen times. They said they do not know what the problem is. We brought it to different dealers and they said it might be the I-shaft we have not fixed this yet because we are still looking for a for sure answer what it is. My future mother in law has a similar car but different year and has the same problem. The started of the shaking both cars had 32000 miles on them. Since the start both cars has replaced struts, control arm and tie rods. And we are looking to replace them again. What is causing this shaking?.
