A tie rod connects your front tires together and running in the same direction. If they are broken your tires will not face the same direction. While they will not directly prevent your car from trying to move forward or backward, the actual direction would be terribly unpredictable.

The answer is a "yes", but probably not the way you think. The car would try willingly enough, just the actual direction would be uncontrollable.
