What owners wrote
Takata recall I got into a car accident 9/2/16. I rear ended a car. My airbags deployed but ruptured instantly this caused me to hit my head on the steering wheel causing lots of neck and back pain and I also chipped my front tooth. My daughter was grazed by a small fragment not causing too much harm. It was horrible. We also inhaled the powder substance that was in the airbags since then I have a dry cough especially at night and a lot of heartburn.
Took car in for oil change and to have front end shaking checked out. Was informed that the front tie rod was defective. Since I had an extended chrysler warranty I took it to the local dealership for repair and found that it needed replacement but was not covered under the warranty. This is a 2006 vehicle with under 50,000 miles. Never had a tie rod go bad in anything else I've owned--and it looks like I'm not the only one.
