STEERING, SUSPENSION
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 *11/1/12 OUTER TIE ROD *11/27/13 SWAY BAR LINKS *12/10/14 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.
