What owners wrote
Outer tie rods failed, causing the vehicle to shimmy and pull to the left and right. This also caused premature wear of the tires. Dealer repaired problem.
I was leaving my house and driving out of my complex when the steering wheel locked up on me. I have been unable to turn it for two days.
