Steering Tie Rod Assembly problems of the 1999 Mazda Protege

The vehicals tacometer was fluttering and the vehical was stalling at lights and stop signs the check engine light came on and we brought the vehical to the dealer. The dealer repaired the problem stating the intake manafoild gasket was cracked. Just barely over the warenty we fold a engine problem of this nature odd as well as the dealer did. We are seeking some kind of returnded funds from Mazda for the expensive problem.
