Steering Tie Rod Assembly problems of the 2008 Dodge Charger

Outer tie rod ends needed to be replaced at 76,000 miles. According to the mechanic, tie rod ends should last to at least 150,000 miles. Upon further research, this seems to be a common problem for Dodge Chargers before 100,000 miles.

The tie rod ends in this car have been replaced twice and now im going in for a third time. My mechanic explained to me that these cars are known for their tie rod ends breaking. I feel it should be looked into. . I have been to online forums for this vehicle and its mentioned a lot on there too. If a part is defective the manufacturer should be recalling these vehicles.

Purchased 2008 rear wheel drive v6 Dodge Charger 11/8/2008. 1st time I had issues w/ worn out front end suspension parts was in 7/14/2010. I had to have the outer tie rods replaced on my car which only had 26,036 miles on it, luckily, this was covered under warranty. Since 7/2010, I have had to have multiple various front end suspension and steering components replaced, not covered under warranty. *5/1/11 sway bar links & outer tie rods *3/2/12 outer tie rod end/control arm and ball joint /1/12 outer tie rod /27/13 sway bar links /10/14 control arm/stabilizer bar bushing. I've had to have my tires replaced 3 times due to excessive/uneven wear caused by reoccurring, expensive suspension issues. I am not a hot rod driver, nor do I live on a long bumpy dirt road and feel my complaint should be looked into for a possible recall and force Dodge to correct this issue. I can not afford $400 to $600s and tires $800 every or every other year. This is ridiculous.

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Charger. While having a routine oil change performed by an authorized dealer, the contact was informed that he would need to have the front drivers side tie rod replaced. The tie rod was replaced by the authorized dealer under factory warranty. The failure did not recur. The failure mileage was 31,000 and the current mileage was unknown.
