I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT W/ MY 2007 CHYRSLER ASPEN MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE CAR PROCEEDED STRAIGHT AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLES SIDE. I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF STEERING DURING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THERE WAS A TRAIL OF POWER STEERING FLUID FROM THE POINT OF STEERING LOSS TO THE POINT OF IMPACT OF OTHER VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS BOTH WHEELS WERE POINTED INWARD AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN ASPENS W/ THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT MINE.

I WENT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE ADVISED THE TIE ROD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR YEARS AND NOTED HOW ODD IT IS THAT A NEWER VEHICLE WOULD NEED A TIE ROD REPLACEMENT. HE HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. IT COST OVER $500 TO GET IT REPLACED. HE SAID HAD I DRIVEN IT JUST A FEW MORE DAYS THE WHOLE FRONT WOULD HAVE BROKEN CAUSI…
